Hello dear readers! How are you guys?

I hope you will be fine.

Welcome back to Devotional story 

Why does God try to improve the devotees by making them unhappy?


Why does Krishna make his devotees suffer?
Why does Krishna make his devotees suffer?

Friends, today in this post we will know that why God, that is, God is omnipotent, why does he try to improve the devotees only after making them sad. Is it necessary that first he should give immense sorrow to his devotee and then test him and after all he should go and solve his (devotee's) sorrow.

Dear readers! Sometimes this question must have arisen in your mind too. Tell me by commenting.

Friends, God is omnipotent, yet he gives sorrow to his devotees, so the answer is that when God puts his devotee in a state of sorrow, there is some reason for it. What we humans do not understand. But as we have read in the scriptures that sometimes their aim is to increase the devotee's attachment to the Supreme Personality of Godhead in sorrow. 

For example - when Lord Krishna left the Pandavas in their capital after the war of Mahabharata. Then asked for permission to leave from him, then Kunti Devi said, O dear Krishna! You have always been with us in our state of sorrow and today when we have got the royal position, now you are asking us farewell.


That's why I would prefer to live in sorrow than to lose you When a devotee is in a sad state, his devotional activities intensify. Therefore, to show special favor, grace to a devotee, the Lord sometimes gives pain to him.

Apart from this, it is also said that those who have experienced the bitterness of sorrow find the sweetness of happiness more sweet. The Lord has appeared on this earth to protect His devotees from sorrow. In other words, if the devotees did not suffer, then even the Lord would not have incarnated.

As far as killing the rapists and asuras is concerned, it can be done easily by his (God's) powers as well, as his external power, Durga Devi killed many asuras. Therefore there is no need to incarnate the Lord to kill such asuras. But when His devotees are sad, He has to come.

Can I read Bhagavad Gita during pregnancy?

You may remember or have ever seen on TV that Lord Nrihasingha appeared not to kill Dev Harinyakashipu but to meet his devotee Prahlad and bless him. It means to say that whenever the devotee is sad, then God will come in some form or the other and relieve him from sufferings.

So dear readers, how did you like the post? Perhaps you are satisfied with the answer to this question. Share your opinion with us. With this we bid farewell, we will meet again in the next post. Till then stay happy, keep smiling and keep remembering the beloved Lord.

Radhe - Radhe

Thank you
