Why does bad happen to good people? Which is described by Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita. You must have seen others or felt yourself that those who walk on the path of truth have a difficult life, and the lives of wicked and unrighteous people are happy, seeing all this, the question must be arising in your mind that the life of good people is Why do bad happen?
Very few people know about this secret. The biggest reason for this is that they do not read the scriptures properly and even after reading they do not believe the things written in the scriptures?
Bhagavad Gita is one such book in religious texts in which the solution of every question arising in the mind of man has been explained in detail. According to the story described in the Bhagavad Gita, there was always some question coming into the mind of Arjuna, which was always solved by Shri Krishna. For many days, a question was coming into Arjun’s mind. To get an answer to this question, Arjuna approached Shri Krishna.
Arjuna came to Lord Krishna and said to him, O Vasudeva, I am surrounded by a dilemma. Only you can solve this. Shri Krishna has asked Arjuna, Dhananjay, to tell in detail the dilemma of your mind. Then I will tell you the remedy.
Then Arjun said, Narayan please tell me why bad always happens with a good person, while a bad person always leads a happy life. Hearing such things from Arjuna’s mouth, Shri Krishna smiled and said, How does a man look or see or feel? Nothing like this happened. Due to ignorance, he cannot understand the truth. Arjun was surprised to hear the words of Shri Krishna and said, Oh Nath, I do not understand anything, please explain in detail.
Then Shri Krishna said, now I tell you a story, which you will understand after listening. Every man gets the fruit according to his karma. That is, one who does bad deeds gets bad results. And one who does good deeds gets good results. Because good karma and bad karma depend on man. Nature gives chance to all. To choose your path. Which path he wants to follow, depends on the desire of the particular person.
Shri Krishna while narrating the story said, It was a long time ago. Two men lived in a town. One of them was a merchant, in whose life religion and morality were of great importance. He believed a lot in worship and devotion. No matter what happens, he does not forget to visit the temple every day. On the other hand, the second person in the city was opposite to the first person. He used to go to the temple only to steal money and jewelry in the temple. It had nothing to do with charity.
Similarly, time passed and one day it rained heavily in that city. Because of which there was no one except the priest in that temple. When the ungodly came to know about this, this thought came to his mind. This is the right opportunity. To steal the money and jewelry of the temple and they reached the temple only in the rain. Hiding from the priest, the man entered the temple. Stole the money and jewelry present in the temple and went away with great pleasure.
At the same time, a person who believed in God also reached the temple. When the priest saw that good person, the priest started thinking of that good person as a thief and started making noise. Hearing the noise, a crowd of people gathered in the temple, considering the good man as a thief, the people humiliated him a lot. The good man was surprised to see this. . He does not understand or what is happening. The person somehow escaped from the people and came out of the temple. But misfortune did not leave him alone!
While leaving the temple, he collided with a bullock cart and got injured. Still, the man staggered and started walking towards his house. Then on the way, he met that evil person. The one who stole the temple money. The wicked man was dancing and speaking loudly. Today my luck shone. got so much money together
When the merchant heard this from the wicked, he became very angry and on his way home took out all the pictures and idols of the Lord and threw them away. And being angry with God started living his life
After some time both the persons died and they reached Yamraj. Seeing the evil person standing next to him, he asked Yamraj in an angry voice that I always used to do good deeds. In return, I only got humiliation and pain. And why does this ungodly person have such a bag full of notes?
Yamraj said to that good man that you are thinking wrong? The day you hit that bullock cart was the last day of your life, but because of your good deeds, your death turned into a small injury. If you want to know about this wicked man, he had Raja Yoga in his destiny, which was converted into a small bundle of wealth due to his misdeeds and adharma.
After narrating this story to Arjuna, Shri Krishna says. Parth, have you got the answer to your question now? Thinking that God is ignoring the good deeds of people. it’s not true at all. In what form God is giving us, it is not understood by man. But if you do good deeds then God’s grace always remains on you. You should never stop doing good work because your good deeds are gifted in your life. You just don’t know about it.
A man should always keep doing good deeds in his life because Shri Krishna has also told in Bhagavad Gita that the work done by anyone never goes in vain. Whether the work is good or bad.
Friends, share this story with as many people as possible so that even if bad things are happening to people, they do not forget to do good work and make their life happy in the future.
