Although the world is full of problems - not all people are
suffering from the same or similar problems. Different people suffer from
different problems and the Hinduism gives two reasons for this!
ONE - If
you are suffering from a particular problem [suffering] then in the past, the
Hinduism says - you did [created] a similar problem to others. This might be in
this life or in some other life [birth] in
the past [the issue of past life/birth – will be discussed in another post].
The scriptures will describe this as your ‘sin’ in the past and you have to
suffer due to that according to the ‘doctrine of karma’ [Karma siddhant] here 'karma' means 'action'.
TWO - You are immature in that particular facet or
dimension of yourself and the ‘nature’ or ‘god’ [choose - whatever term you
feel comfortable with, for the Hinduism will not differentiate between them] wants
to take away that ‘immaturity’ or ‘ignorance’ in you. So, you will face only
certain problems that are unique to you.
To the
keen insight – these two are related. In the past you did some ‘sin’ due to the
ignorance you had – and in order to take away that ‘ignorance’ in you something
‘bad’ will take place in your life and it will make you mature removing the
‘ignorance’ in you. Now, in this way you are getting back the results of you past
actions and you are relieved from both your past ‘sins’ and ‘ignorance’ too.
Thus
the problems are meant to make you elevate in the ladder of ‘inner’ evolution and
just not to make you suffer or to make you weep. Out of problems you will come out
as a more matured individual and that is the main reason behind problems.
Another
thing is that – deeper the ‘ignorance’ in you, you will get some bigger problem
for ‘harder wood demands harder hit’ – to brake.
The reason
for different people suffering from different problems is clear from this – different
individuals are with different kinds of ‘ignorance’. This is like, different patients
suffering from different diseases deserving different ‘medications’ – to get back
their health.
At
certain times you feel at the problems of other persons – ‘how silly their problems
are and still they suffer!’ This
is because we have the maturity to handle that problem and the person in
question is not matured enough to handle it.
One might
have a severe problem, heart rending it might be – but, the Hinduism says – it is
only for the maturity of that individual. That one did such a severe ‘bad act’ [karma]
in the past and the results are back now.
Hinduism
also says – the results of our actions are inexorable and indomitable of evasion.
So, if you
want to lead a happy life, beware of your actions. Think before you act keeping
the results in mind [in the words of Covey - with the goal in mind, in his famous book, 7 – habits of highly effective people]. Have a happy life…!! And in this way others too will be
happy…!!
