When everything happens based only on our fate, then how does god help us? This question would arise in the minds of most of the people, since human life is subject to the mixture of both happiness and sufferings, and no one could escape from that! In case of happiness, then there is no problem. But in case of sufferings, will it is possible to come out from that, and will it is possible to overcome our fate?
It is not possible to entirely come out from our fate, but, however, due to the grace of the god, at least the severity of our problems would be reduced to certain extent, and we would get the withstanding powers to face it. Most of us would be doing some wrongful acts like scolding and disliking of others, especially during the full moon and no moon days, since during that period, our mind would activate very faster, and even some of the soft natured persons would turn into a little bit wilder during those days. It is suggested to worship the great Lord Chandra Bhagavan, during those days, who is affectionately called as Uncle by the small children, in order to control our anger and to avoid the happening of some unfair incidents in our life.
We could have read in newspapers, that due to anger, husband kills wife and wife kills husband like that. This all happens due to their intolerance between each other, and these kinds of bad incidents, happens in the lives of the people due to their previous birth karmas. Karmas would also be forcefully put on our heads, as per the rules of the law of the god, and he is doing like this, in order to maintain proper balance between good and bad ones. For example, if god creates 100 people, all these hundred people would not turn out into good ones. God would make some 40 people to become bad natured, and the remaining portion of the people would be good even from the time of their birth itself.
Now the question is, whether the 40 bad people out of the total 100, will ever change into good ones? Though it is highly impossible, but however it can be made possible, if they keep constant faith and devotion on the god. Whatever we may speak about the creation activity of the god, we cannot change anything on our own. Even the great Swami Vivekananda, felt very much worried about the sufferings of the people in the earth, and in fact, he himself has expressing his feelings, that god has not created the world in a proper manner, since people suffers a lot in the world, and he further added, that “if I have been blessed to be the creator, then I might have created the world and the creations in a better manner!”
According to my opinion, in fact, god could also do some justice to the people who suffer a lot in their lives. But if we read the Bhagavat Gita Teachings of Lord Krishna, we would get a clear picture. When Lord Krishna talks about his creation activities to Arjuna, he tells, “Oh! My dear Arjuna, I want all of my creations to be alike! But what can I do! Even I must have to bow my head before the Yuga Dharma. Though I am having enough powers to change the entire thing in the world, I do not want to do so, since I don’t want to interfere with the fate of the people. I cannot create all the humans similarly, since that would not work out properly! If everyone is good, and moves in the right path, then the purpose of creation work itself would go wrong! Hence whether you prefer it or not, I would make the creation work as per my own wish, and no one could question them, and whoever take birth in this earth would have to suffer some hardships in their life, and even I could not escape from that”.
