“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.
