WHATEVER HAPPENS IN OUR LIFE IS FOR GOOD

“Bhagavad Gita” teaches us the following:

Whatever that has happened is for our good

Whatever that is happening is also for our Good

Whatever that is going to happen, will happen for our own good

Whatever that is yours today

Will be owned by another person tomorrow

And will go to yet another person another day.

We should remember that whatever incident that occurs in our day to day life is for our own good. That is why it is said in “Bhagavad Gita” that whether it is good or Bad, sad or joy, Win or lose, Up or down, Fall or rise, cold or hot, Sweet or sour, we have to put the same cheerful face in all situations. There is a reason behind this. This is clearly brought out in the following short story.

There was a king who lived a happy life and he had his council of ministers. There was a court jester too. Every day the court poet would recite poems and explain the meanings which the king enjoyed. There was peace that prevailed during his rule. One day when the king got hurt in his hand the court jester commented that it was for his good. The others who were around remarked that the king was hurt and made a big statement out of the same to earn a good name and ultimately the wound got healed.

One fine sunny day the king got hurt in his leg and there was some bleeding noticed. The mendicant put some green leaves and covered the wound. At this point of time the court jester remarked that this wound that happened is also for the good of the king. The king was feeling the pain and in his anger ordered that the jester be put in the jail.

On another occasion the king went to a forest for hunting. On his way from the forest the king encountered thieves who were conducting some yagna in which they have to give a human being as a sacrifice to the fire. They wanted a clean person devoid of any illness or wound. They caught the king who has come in disguise and wanted to give him as a sacrifice but when they observed the wound in king’s leg they decided he was not fit for the sacrificial pyre as their prayers would not be fulfilled. Hence they set free the king and the king returned safe to his palace.

Immediately on his return to the palace he ordered that the court jester be freed. Whatever the jester had mentioned to the king had come out true as the wound in his leg had saved him from the sacrificial pyre. The king regretted for having put the jester in prison. At that moment the jester remarked that it was also for good that he was imprisoned. Had he gone with the king to the forest, the thieves would have taken him for sacrifice; which didn’t happen as he was inside the prison.

Thus we can see in this mundane world that everything that happens to us is for our good. This is very true as can be seen in the above story.

If we understand Gita, it will take us in the righteous path and we can confront life easily and can look forward to peace, security and Happiness.

This is for certain and we have to practice very hard to gain spiritual knowledge and get the full benefit of Gita. You can yourself see that happiness will prevail all through your life.

Be blissful.
