Since
the time we are born, we are taught about karma and the sufferings. We are told
that whatever good or bad is there is the result of our karmic issues. If you
have done good in the past then you go through good now and if you have done
bad in the past, you suffer. If life is all about settling past scores then I
would say there is no future as there would not be any progress. Moreover, what
karmic issues, Lord Rama, Krishna or Jesus had that they had to endure much
more than any human being can endure. They went through all this because they
had a purpose. They did not suffer. Everything
which is happening in life is not to make you suffer but to help you in
learning and evolving. Even if it means that the situation is little more
challenging. Every pain which appears in your life is to teach you not to
punish you. If you look back, you would realise that most of the lessons of
life which you have learned up till now actually were learned in the difficult
situations. When someone hurts you, you realise that what is pain and how
others would feel when something similar is happening to others too. When you
go through own financial problems, you realise that how to manage finance and
life can be lived with austerity too. Every situation teaches you but if you do
not learn, it keeps repeating. The best example which I can think of right now
is of parents punishing the child when he does a mistake. They punish the child
so that he can learn and does not repeat the mistake. If he does not learn in
one attempt, next time they give little bigger punishment, until the child
learns to stop committing that mistake. Now parent’s intention is to make the
child learn but child might perceive it as suffering, and till the time he
takes it as painful suffering he cannot outgrow that mistake and thus cannot
evade punishment. Same way, in the life, whatever is coming is to teach us, so
that we do not repeat same things but if we take them as sufferings we can
never out grow them. The purpose is to teach us, not to make us suffer and the
moment we learn the suffering ends as the purpose is accomplished.

When
you are injured, what do you do? You apply a medicine and while applying the
medicine it hurts. If there is a bigger wound, you might have to get it
stitched and if it’s further deeper, a surgery might be required. Depending on
the gravity of the injury, you take the treatment. Whatever may be the
treatment, it hurts initially, however, if you start thinking that this is to
hurt you not to heal you and you evade the treatment, you will never be cured
and the wound would get deeper. The only way to heal is to treat the wound. I
am so amazed by the negativity which we are fed with always. Theory of Karma is
another such connotation as it is being taught to us as a punishment and we all
try to avoid punishment because we think it only makes us suffer but the truth
is entire different. It is a treatment to heal your soul. Whenever you go
through a negative emotion, you create a blockage inside you and that blockage
blocks the light inside you. Everyone has equal light inside them as we all are
divine spark of God but few people appear to have more light and glow on their
face not because they have extra light but because they have less blockages and
the light is being emitted without any blockage. When you go through pain, it
is not to punish you, so it’s not a futile pain but it is to heal you. So that
you can realise what all negative you had and you can remove them. Every time
you remove one negative thing, you are closer to light.

So
nothing is futile or to punish you but it is to heal you. Embrace pain with
open arms, so that you can heal your soul and evolve and move closer to light. If
you keep thinking it as negative, your subconscious mind would always try to
escape from it and you would never be able to get cured and if a wound is not
treated, it gets deeper. Same way, if you do not get healed, the wounds in your
soul get deeper. Do not try to evade in life, face it, fight it and resolve it
so that you can move on truly.
