A Question To Lord Jagannath

Hi All,

Today, morning while praying suddenly one question erupted in mind. I asked it to Jaga Kalia, while his big round eyes were still gazing at me. Then I just discussed same thing with my mom and my aunt. Now, finally at night I decided to post this view here in blog for everyone.

Why it appears that some people get a blessed life full of joy, happiness and things that would envy others, while some get a miserable life, full of problems? Mostly, it appears people who never listen to their parents, they think less about others and are more self centered enjoy their whole life. But, the one who thinks of others before self is always trapped in problems. And when God creates this universe, he creates humans and he protects them, then why cant he maintain a balance in their life. Why at all he has punish one from the childhood and let other enjoy life throughout.

Its not that one person committed some bad Karma in past life and is repaying always. I understand bad karma gives bad result. But, what about the good deeds that same person makes in this life. Can't he enjoy and be blessed for his good Karma as well.

We all keep on forwarding messages of great people who have succeeded in overcoming life's misery and have managed to gain popularity. But, there could be million others with similar life's misery and may be they would have lost the battle without succeeding, what about them. One man like Colonel Harland Sanders could manage to overcome misery at age of 65, but there could be many more with similar fate, who would have lived a life of misery.

We advice others to maintain a good balance in life. Its easy to say and do for some, as life blesses them with what they want in just the time they need it. What about the rest who struggle to achieve simple happiness of life? People come and easily say " Time is running out, you should work towards this before its late". But, the miserable person has to still post a fake smile and say yes its all in God's hand. Because that person knows its beyond his/her strength to get something that appears for the adviser as something that can be easily achieved. My question to my beloved Lord Jaga is when he can see through the miseries of people, why cant he make a balance in everyone's life. Why he has to give all happiness to one and make the other miserable through out life. Its not there is no misery for the one in happiness, but it is much smaller for with respect to the miserable one.

Take for example this story of a girl. A girl is born, may be the third girl to her parents, who did not love her since she was a girl. They waited for a boy and girl, they just want to do their duty. The girl spent her childhood hoping to trying to see love in her parents eye. When she grew up, she studied hard, got a job. Loved a guy madly and wanted him to respect that. But, when the Guy had to marry her, he left because he wanted something else. She then waited and finally married another guy, but did not get the love that she wanted. She then thought of having child. But got to know she has issues their too. Struggled hard and waited long to achieve that. And this goes on.

While another girl born to other family got pampered from beginning. Got all the love & pampering. Did not try to study hard but was blessed with good memory and knowledge. Scored high and got dream job. Fell in love and got married to same guy. She went around the world and had enough money to buy whatever she likes. She got child exactly when she wanted to start a family. And this went on till end of her life.

Both the girls were good at heart persons and never did anything harmful to others. So, Lord Jagannath, do you really enjoy misery of first girl and happiness of second that you planned life this way. You could have mixed there happiness and sorrows to give each of them a mixture of both. But, you never did. So, you failed to maintain balance in their lives. Its pathetic to think and plan life to be balanced. Because that balance was not created by the creator.So, what can a man do? He can just lead a life. Someone, might get blessed at a later part like the owner of KFC at age of 65, but all are not lucky enough.

Dear lord Jagannath, you celebrate life journey during this nine days festival of Rath Yatra, you do no partiality on basis of caste, creed, religion or region. But, what about the fate that is created by you. Do you give a balanced fate to all? the answer is NO. Why this partiality? Why cant it be fare?

I know people will now post we should not compare any two individuals. But, that is more of an idealistic condition in this competitive world. One thing for sure you watch people who are not lucky as you are and don't see people who are luckier than you. It is not with ones intelligence one can always solve all problems, definitely there is some power that is working behind which sometimes nullifies the efforts one individual puts in and results in zero while that power improvises the effort another puts in and reaps benefits. My question is meant for that supreme power.

Jai Jagannath!!

 

I agree with you buddies, all these mismatches sometimes make me irritated and question the existence of supreme power. When he fails to give balanced life, then what is in hand of human being that can make him lead a balanced life? Is it not foolish to think we human being can make their life balanced. Though our aim should be to have one balanced life, its mere impossible to have that if the supreme power never wanted to give that bliss.

 

@sindmani I do agree with you. But, what tears me much apart is continuous misery in one person's life. Its acceptable to have some ups and downs... its really painful when a person moves from one down to next down..without much ups in between. One thing that helps during pain is to think of someone who is having bigger problems than you. In a way that inspires to have faith for a little longer, to have patience a little longer. But, my heart still goes with people who keep on facing issues one after the other, comparatively bigger issues.

 

@kcb I do not believe past karma's result in such misery... If its that then how come person who committed so much bad karma is born as a better individual in this birth? Can your bad karma lead you to be born as a better person in next life but with problems. And if yes? Then as a good individual in this present life, where is the effect of those good karma's. Can the result of good Karma not nullify the effect of some of the bad Karma's....
