Do not consider God as a separate entity. Unfortunately, people are unable to understand the principle of divinity and hence indulge in all types of imaginations. God is One. The Veda declares, Ekam Sat Viprah Bhudha Vadani (truth is one, but wise refer to it by various names). However, when the situation demands Divine incarnations appear on earth and play a role in the cosmic drama. ( DD on 26.02.2006, pp. 5-6)

When Draupadi was being humiliated by Duryodhana and Dushasana in the royal court, Bhima told his brothers that he could not bear this any longer and wanted to kill them. But, even under such circumstances, God did not Will their killing. It is most essential to understand that everything happens according to the Will of God. Whatever happens is for your own good. With such firm conviction, you should accept pleasure and pain, good and bad with equanimity. It may be difficult for you to bear misfortunes. You perform rituals and Puja (worship) which help you to bear difficulties. You may have difficulties today, but tomorrow it will be different. Difficulties will not last forever. They will certainly give way to happiness. Man always strives for happiness. How can he attain it? Happiness is union with God. You can experience true happiness only when you attain this union. Whatever you ask from God, He says, ‘Tathastu’ (So may it be!).You will be free from sorrow once you understand the Bhagavat tattva (principle of divinity). If you are undergoing difficulties, do not get disheartened. Have faith that God is making you go through the ordeal for your own good. Happiness and sorrow co-exist. You cannot attain happiness without undergoing difficulties. (SS March 06 , p. 70)
