Faith in the Lord!

Verse 1.17.22 (Padma Mataji):

* In this shloka we can see how a devotee behaves.
* The King said: O you, who are in the form of a bull! You know the truth of religion, and you are speaking according to the principle that the destination intended for the perpetrator of irreligious acts is also intended for one who identifies the perpetrator. You are no other than the personality of religion.
* In our case, when we have some suffering, all our sadhana goes for a toss and we start blaming every one and sometimes God too.
* In general people think that when we start worshiping God, all things should be good, otherwise we lose faith in Him.
* God actually gives us what we need, not exactly what we want. We have to remember that everything happens according to God's plan only.
* Examples of devotees who had complete faith in God in spite of many reversals in their lives: Prahalad Maharaj, Srila Prabhupada, Sant Tukaram etc.
* This will be possible only when we are in complete Krishna consciousness.
