People often think that there is so much bad going around and feel why does God just sit and do nothing about it? People see suffering in this world, and then wonder if there is a God why doesn't he finish the suffering that exists? Pragyan Vaidya an advocate from Ahmadabad, Gujarat asks this question to Swami Mukundananda in this final episode of the question & answer session.
Swamiji answers him and says that time and again people come to him and tells him the same. He gives an example of the 2013's flooding of Uttarakhand and says that the natural calamity has shaken many out of their belief on God, many have turned atheist.
We can make lot of expectations from God. Forget about finishing sufferings, why does not God make one fully knowledgeable? Why does not God release me from the realm of material energy? Why does not he make me a God realized saint? It's within His ability to do so. Swami Mukundananda asks back, "Are these demands that we put on God actually reasonable? Take God out of the picture for a while and consider the government of the country. We have prisoner, now if a prisoner says that it is within purview of the powers of the government to release me, why is the government not releasing me? The government will say it is within our purview and jurisdiction but the question is you take a look at what you deserve. You are in the prison house because that is what you deserve. Similarly God's purview and jurisdiction is infinite. But we should look at what we deserve. It is said that the law of God is- you do not get what you desire but you get what your deserve. We are here in this material realm which is ultimately a place of suffering and here because that is what we deserve. Out of our free choice we made a decision that I wish to turn my back towards God and that choice of ours to turn away from God brought us here in the material realm."
The world is ultimately a place of suffering. It is being created like the prison house of God. It is for souls who have not chosen God but have chosen to go away from God in our consciousness. For eg; if we go to a hospital and say why there is so much a suffering here? Why are people so sick out here, why doesn't the manager do something? The manager will say this hospital is built with the purpose of housing sick and suffering people. Similarly when we look in this material world where materially conditioned souls resides, it is natural that we find suffering. Do not blame God for it. If you want better, you deserve better. How? By turning around towards God, by becoming God conscious. This world is not God's only abode there are many other Divine abodes. Once a soul becomes God conscious and surrenders to Him, God will take the soul out of this material world and transcend him to His other Divine abodes.
Swami Mukundananda who is a foremost disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharah quotes from The Bhagavad Gita and says that Lord Krishna told Arjun that having gone there once the soul never returns to this place of suffering again that is my (God's) Divine abode. Swamiji further says, "So if we want to see God's creation free from suffering, full of knowledge, full of love, full of bliss; He has His Divine abodes refered as Golok, Saket Lok, Vaikunth Lok, Shiv Lok, Devi Lok, Param Vyom Lok, etc."
Swamiji at the end gives a new twist to the suffering and says that the suffering has purpose. What is the purpose of the suffering? Watch the full answer.

100% correct. God has given us full choice to select between material world and spiritual world.
Without God
We can't make rational chooses
It always leads to dissatisfaction!
Jesus is the way!
@@lillygant139 Jesus is son of God. He is not God himself. He is a the portal and Bible has been edited and exploited throughout history. Please do a little research on what I said I hope you will find the truth. Hare Krishna
💯 right and 💯 agree with you 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I'm not talking about material and spiritual world I'm talking why bad people harm good people physically or mentally that's the problem why God is not giving them punishment before or after there bad actions they can be stopped
@@jijio000 they get punishment 💯 even if they escape from this life but will get surely in hell after dying
After watching the wonderful video of Swamiji,I came to conclusion that- God built lighthouses to see people through storms. Then he built storms to remind people to find lighthouses.
Very true.
Plz explain in hindi
In a hospital we will always find sick people. In this material world, there is always suffering, sorrow, and misery. The purpose of this suffering is to teach us that we are on a wrong path - to correct ourselves, then we will find happiness. The duality of joy and sorrow, victory and defeat is to help us evolve into better human beings!
His Holiness is the most.. 😎chilled out person I have ever experienced. 😊😃
Namaskaram Guru 🙏🏻
Thank u RUclips
His wisdom burns all my ignorance.🔥
Mine too.
I have no words to say Swamiji, your answer is great and light for us ,we heartly respect be half of all spiritual friends of Bhaktapur (Nepal)
It was the way he said "If we were to become happy without becoming better people the purpose of God's world would not be served" ... That had been my mantra for the past few hours ... 7:41
You gave the most sensible answer and it gave me a relief.
The more bad the more I hope in GOD. I ask Lord Krishna to be my guide like he was for Arjuna. I ask Lord Krishna to enlighten me more. Thank you Swamiji for your words of wisdom
Suffering is a blessing in disguise. We must enhance our understanding with knowledge and strengthen our faith.
Agreed!
How good of a professional we would be without passing through tests of increasing stringency to earn a degree; The world is perfect the way it is to help us evolve into the best we can be spiritually. Thanks so much for this wisdom!!!
Very true Sarah!
Swamiji answers this question very nicely that God gives us what we deserve. We should not blame God for our suffering in this world. Great answer Swamiji !
"We don't get what we desire, we get what we deserve" God's creation is perfect and complete, the problem is in us. We've glaring defects which are to be removed Swamiji beautifully explains "If we wish to see abodes free from suffering and distress, and full of Bliss, we need to perfect our surrender to God and Guru" Christ said " I am the path and I am the way". Thus He stressed the importance of selfless surrender at the feet of Guru and God.
Superb
God gives us not what we want, rather what we deserve. The world is God's creation and is perfect therefore. Endeavour to put in your best effort to understand your position in the world and strive to rise above to a state of servitude. Surrender and serve God, and you'll find the world is perfect!
This complex subject is explained by Swamiji so simply and beautifully.
Your divine religious discourse gives tremendous power and direction to live life happily. I listen your speech very attentively. Thanks
This is true. Thank you swamiji for beautifully answered. Radhey Radhey.
Superb explanation with very logical reasoning.. Thank you Swamiji !!
A common but difficult question and a wonderful easily answered.. Thank you guruji
The law of God is not what we desire but what we deserve. Thanks for the detailed explanation Swami Ji.
Like Swamiji said, this is a very common question that occurs in the mind of majority of people. Swamiji gave a terrific answer to this question. His answer immediately sinks in my intellect and I develop faith in his answer. What was telling to me, was - we get, in life, what we deserve, not what we desire. We desire things, but we get results according to our actions. Plus, we must remember that this material world is meant to be a place of suffering, so that we can desire the love of God and eventually go to his abode.
Such wonderful wisdom -when our faith becomes situated on a solid platform of knowledge we realize that in times of difficulty it is the turning toward God in the challenge that benefits our soul deeply ...it is not being free from the difficulties. Endless gratitude 🙏🏼 💗
Yes such deep wisdom. How could we get so fortunate - Only Gratitude!
Beautiful explanation for the misery in this world
Extremely deep!
Krishna says in the gita, " The living entities in this conditioned world are my eternal fragmental parts " being not of matter but of God we are naturally not going to be happy with our association with this world so your suffering is inevitable but when we develop our Krishna consciousness through the process of devotional service we come to the understanding of our true nature and we come to realize that we suffer because we are like a fish out of water while we are in material world but once we connect with God through devotion we come to realize what our true source is ( God )
Swamiji very nicely explain that God is not responsible for our actions . whatever bad happens in the world , the worldly people are responsible for it.
Thank you SwamiJi ! Radhe Radhe! Karma plays a roll in this, yes? Exhaustion of samskaras in this life is what we deserve not what we desire...we try and make as many righteous choices and turn to God in this life to purify the soul and diminish all filth and no tragedy should burden us later on although challenges will still be faced in order to grow, continued efforts to learn, patience and perseverance. Ommm🙏🏻 , Yourself, think and do as if you’d want your own child to be. Don’t live a life of ignorance and intellectual blasphemy. The only good that comes from that is that it teaches how not to be. Haha🙏🏻
Beautiful answer to the practical question. Thank you Swamiji.
With love and gratitude. Thank you, Swami. Your words speak to my heart.
JAISREE RADHEY KRSNA Sree Maharaj ji k Sree charano mei Koti koti PRANAM
Thanks so much
I love this talk. It is THE BEST because it brings me peace! What answers. He has a pure heart with these students, too. Oh! Swami Mukundananda speaks like Krishnamurti. There is a great similarity to Jesus Christ. Thank you for sharing, JKYog Videos. Tyler Lord Hamilton
We don't get what we desire...we get what we deserve...this sentence is enough to understand God perfectly!
Very true swamiji....
Radhey Radhey
Govinda Radhey 🙏
A very beautiful n pure n blissful video.... thank u Swami ji 👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful is the only word that comes to my mind every time I listen to Swamiji....amazing answers to every persons suffering... 'we do not get what we desire we get what we deserve'
Very logically explained with examples by Swami Mukundanandaji that "If God is present, then Why God is not eliminating Bad from this world ??". A must listen Q/A session. He clarifies it further that "We do not get what we Desire but we get what we Deserved " Thanks for the enlightenment !
जय श्री कृष्णा
Very intellectually and beautifully explained
God has given brain and thinking power to people. It's human responsibility to use the thinking power. We cannot keep crying about why god is not doing. God has already done it. Now we have to do it.
Very captivating answers Swamiji. The law of God is"we don't get what we desire but what we deserve ".By turning around God, by becoming God-conscious, by surrendering to Him...........
This world is a beautiful place with beautiful people living in it. It is we that turned the world i into I AND MINE. we have broken the world into pieces of our desire. remove the I and MINE, appreciate and be thankful to God. You will realise how much god loves us. Dont be a pessimist and say this world is a place of suffering rather be an optimist and appreciate what God has given you and be Thankful.
Beautifully explained all the doubts regarding all the bad happening in the world. very good examples given by Swami Mukundananda ji to enhance our faith in God and his creations. Must listen ..Highly recommended to people who has questions like why the presence of suffering in this world made by God. Radhey Radhey
This is true for mature beings, how can we explain children who suffer or abused ?
It is because of their previous sanchit karm.
amazzzing knowledge
we r blessed to have you swamiji.......i dont know if i want to meet amitabh bacchan but i desperately want to touch your feet once.......you are swayam god swarup. i bow down to you my swamiji.
Dear Swamiji,
Your explanations and examples in this video are very clear and easy to understand. It helped me. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.....swami ji
Swami ji explain such complex questions in such a simple and beautiful way that each and evry person will be satisfied ❤️❤️
This short video is an absolute must! It explained so logically why I am here. Not heard anyone else explain it with such logic and depth.
Agreed - the logic helps to pull us out of the limited thinking and then only we are able to absorb the higher level divine knowledge. The bridge of logic is unfortunately a necessary step - just hearing Divine knowledge won't do.
Hope this video inspired you. Radhey Radhey.
JKYog Admin.
Exactly
Beautiful
Thanks for showing me the way
I feel that nobody could have explained this question as clearly as you have done it, Swamiji...Thank you ji
Why does God help me, should not be the question, instead we should ask, am I doing my part? Time to take responsibility and own our actions.
Well said!
It leads us to the clarity of mind of how the material
World and God's realisation function.'Swamiji is quite
right when saying we get what we deserve and not what
We desire'
God has created us perfectly but we make bad choices and allow our urges to take the best of ourselves and now we have to suffer because of our own choices, our conditions....But sufferings are not punishment though, they are things that teach you a lesson so that you grow from them ... Sufferings has to happen so you understand the meaning and feeling...So you become enlightened by it and you gonna be the best version of yourself....For example, let's say you are a poor person, you will suffer by being poor but you will know and realise at the same time, how it feels like to be hungry and not having money to buy food...
You will understand that pain and that suffering...Therefore, one day you get out from that poor life, and you become rich, you will still carry that knowledge with you...If you will walk around and you find some other person who is poor and suffering, that would remind you of your own past...How you used to lead a poor life and you also suffered from hunger....So you will help the person who is suffering in front of your eyes...
But let's say you are a spoiled child...You always lived a life full of comfort and whatever you ask your parents, they give you and you also came from a rich family...You will not care about how others feel...Nor will you understand the suffering of hard work, pain and how poor people feel...
You will mistreat them instead and be arrogant and show off about yourself...because you never have been there to know how it feels like...You never went through hard times and sufferings to know these things...So it makes you prideful and arrogant...And you will not be able to appreciate anything in life but you will tend to take everyone and everything for granted...because you have lived a life far away from sufferings....
Same as Gautama Buddha...When he was a prince, hid father tried his best to keep him away from sufferings...He didn't know what death means, what it means to fall sick etc...He had a life full of comfort, spent his time with beautiful ladies, having fun, living a stress free life...but the day he realises the meaning of sufferings, the meaning of death, he becomes enlightened...His life changes and took a huge turn....From Prince Siddhartha, he became Buddha....A preacher....He chose the path of spirituality....instead of a becoming a King...All this only because of sufferings...
Imagine what would have happened if Gautama Buddha never knew anything about suffering...How would he have been enlightened? How would he have known the true meaning of life? Without sufferings, you would be just like Siddhartha Gautama (when he was still an ignorant prince and knew nothing about the real meaning of life)....
Why can’t we know the real meaning of life as a realized being without the suffering? Why isn’t that grace given to us? Why does it have to include suffering? I know we say, think and believe this is the only way it it can be, but I believe it isn’t. This is a nice answer and it appeases but I think there can be more. I think if Buddha even in his castle had decided that he wanted to observe his mind and experiment through curiosity and not suffering he could have still reached enlightenment and realized that our minds create our realities. He was creating his reality beforehand of living in a castle and enjoying all of the fine things and then he also created or attracted the reality to him where he saw death and all of this. We are always attracting our reality to us but we can be unaware. Enlightenment does not only have to come from suffering. This is just a story we believe. We decide to label something as suffering, what is labeling this and classifying things? The mind. What is believing them? The mind.
You r great swamiji.. Your speech your way of talking always touches the heart..
Thank you Swami ji for this enlightening discourse
Great question and brilliant answer by Swamiji. Radhey Radhey.
Wonderful reasoning logically explained with so much clarity. Thanks, Swamiji for relating this. A very practical question that many people have when it comes to God. We should all understand that in this material world we will have both sufferings and good times. The goal is for us to turn our mind towards God and attain him.
Swamiji explains so beautifully that when we are unable to find solutions to life’s
challenging situations, we feel overwhelmed and tend to blame God for our
suffering. We wonder why God does not eliminate the suffering even though he has the power to do so. Swamiji says that God throws such circumstances in our way to teach us mental austerities and in the long run, such challenges are
responsible for our growth and thus should be perceived as a blessing.
I feel motivated as I am learning to listen to my inner voice
Which I feel is the voice ofGod
Always with me in faith and my breathing
Thanks for your insight
Beautifully answered by Swamiji...Radhey Radhey
So smart very good knowledge wisdom and understanding
This is indeed a burning question in all our minds amidst the Corona Virus Pandemic.
We get what we deserve. Lets just focus on fixing ourselves first.
So many beautiful souls here😍
Thank u suma ji. Do watch brahmacharya for married people that would enlighten u more. 😃
Suffering is a good thing, its indication that we have put our hands into maya which is like fire which will burn us. Wonderful knowledge Swamiji 🙏🙏
Very beautifully explained by Swamiji that Suffering has been placed in the world for a purpose.
I got answer of a serious question thnk u so much guruji....
Beautiful Explanation. Loved it. Great Saint with true knowledge.
Very good answer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Swamiji.
Many many thanks swamiji
Beautifully explained 🙏 Hare Krishna 🙏
You didn't get what you desire ,you get what you deserve ... Thank you guruji
Osm ! How beautifully explained.
How enlightening! Suffering is not simply to be looked upon as something negative that shouldn't be, but as an opportunity to learn that something is wrong and needs to be corrected.
Atleast the people in the prison knows why they are there, but we dont know why we have been given this birth on earth. So this metaphor is not justifying the cause.
Due to past deeds
Thank you so very much for this video. It spoke a truth that I needed to hear tonight.
Wow never heard it like this before fantastic explanation thank you
God's world is perfectly designed for our own spiritual elevation. Thank you Swamiji.
Thank you for your insightful spiritual knowledge, Swamiji.
Swamiji, great explanation, agreed, but still why create in the first place? If there is no creation then there is no suffering or happiness and no question of whether a soul deserves or does not deserve good or bad.
It is to help us souls achieve true happiness that we have been searching for since eternity. If there was no world, there will be no means for us to understand the way to go beyond the darkness (Maya or material energy) that has engulfed us since eternity and attain Eternal Bliss that we so dearly want.
Guruji you have wonderful explanation for the cause of sufferings in this world faced by all of us and how they turn us to the long forgotten gods abode.
Radhey Radhey swamiji 🙏
Thank you 🌻
Excellent explanation
10:25 There is something I should be doing that I am not doing 🙏
You get what you deserve not what you desire. Works everywhere.
Dhunyawad the answer is great especially at the end. He said some really good things.
Great message from Swamiji
Radhey Radhey thank you 🙏💙
Nothing wrong with the world or God . It's the people .
Thank you Swami Mukundanada Ji for enlightening answers to our materialistic questions.
Thank you so much Swami ji for sharing such wonderful and worthful knowledge, infact I have been suffering with the same question since few days, now I got clarity. Jai Hind...
We experience what we deserve; and the purpose is to uplift us spiritually. Thanks so much!!!
Sarah Green can u tell that to a victim of a crime
How do you explain a child who is gang raped and murdered? What did the child do to justify your WE EXPERIENCE WHAT WE DESERVE?
@@shayanan69 are you willfully ignorant of past lives? the child probably did the same to others in a previous life.
very logical explanation. radhey radhey
God loves us all equally yet he makes his love known In those devotees who love him. We must have firm faith to feel the bliss. They will love us as much as we love them. God reciprocates. He loves the humble and innocent. He does not like cunning and deceit. Surrender your intellect to Him. Use your intellect for the world. Relish his divine pastimes and drown In the nectar of their love. Srimad Sadguru Sarkar Ki Jai!
Definitely this life is not meant for happiness but meant for learning from experiences, and the experience of being alive. You reap what you sow. I just wonder why we keep forgetting God in the first place and continue to be reborn? Great video, shared on fb! Thank you, Swami Mukudananda, thanks a lot!
I agree to the point that,people get what they deserve as per their karma in the past & present life.
What i couldn't able to convince my self is that-
There are many cases where people got through extreme pain & brutality that we can't even imagine.
Why almighty GOD didn't come to rescue them or even send his messanger for their help.
If GOD has given us free will to do our own karma where we dont have much hint of our past karma & where maya is all powerfull playing with us with all her weapon..it could be assume that, a child has given with a loaded gun in his/her hand,where mishap could have happen any moment of time.
Isn't there be some threshold to the pain must set by GOD ,once that threshold reached GOD should intervene to stop the evil & save the victim as well as the offender to not damaging his karmic account further.
Very true, everytime I face a tough situation, I will remember this lesson. We should strive to see God's grace in these situations as it puts us on the right track towards God consciousness. Thanks, Swamiji Radhe Radhe.
Yes Swamiji so true. Past life karma accounts are the reason for so much disparity in lives. God made fair neutral laws of karma. However Swamiji you mentioned that we are vimukh, leading to our suffering. However aren't we vibhina ansh eternally vimukh by design?
+ Prachi R
Since god is supposedly the creator of the universe and every thing in it, what gave god the right to create the universe in the first place?
What gave god the right to create and put souls (i.e., living things) in that universe, then create the laws of karma, and then subject those souls (i.e., living things) to those laws of karma (all of this, of course, *WITHOUT* taking the approval of those souls?
god (of every god-advocating religion) seems to be an arbitrary authoritarian who does things for his/her/its own pleasure and entertainment.
A very enlightening explanation of suffering.It is definately going to guide us while confronted with problems.Thank you Swamiji.
Very Powerful message.....Thank you Swamiji🙏🏻🌺
What a nice explanation about why we are suffering in this world.
We should make ourselves better rather than blaming to God and others and situation.
