[Smt. Anita asked:- Swamiji, Mee Paadapadmalaku Shathakoti pranamamulu🙏🙏🙏🙇♀️ Thank You Swamiji for everything You have showered upon and guiding at the same time with precious divine knowledge through Your volumes and Satsangas. Here are my doubts- It is said that one should enjoy misery and happiness equally. God is insulted if misery is refused. Is it not the Karma playing its role whenever misery enters? I am confused because God is the creator of misery and misdeeds are done only by humans. Do enlighten me.]
Swami replied:- Equality of happiness and misery is called Yoga as per the Gita. Misery is suffered and enjoyment of misery comes after suffering only. Since suffering exists after misery, the rule of justice as per cycle of deeds is fulfilled. Justice has no objection if one enjoys the suffering after undergoing the suffering. When we eat hot dishes made of chillies, we suffer with tears and vibrating tongue. After suffering like this, we enjoy eating of the hot dish in the final stage. The above concept is exactly like the present example presented. If one refuses the suffering of punishment of sin, it is insulting the divine constitution written by God and hence, God gets insulted. Therefore, the enjoyment of suffering is the best solution. Even God follows this policy after entering the creation as incarnation. God Rama wept loudly when Sita was stolen by Ravana. But, God Rama is always enjoying within Himself and due to this reason only, His name is Rama (Ramate iti Raamah).
