Suffering, it's actual cause, Krishna's mercy!

Verse 1.17.18 (Saci Suta Prji):

* Upon inquiry from Maharaj Parikshit to Mother Earth and Dharma, they tell: it is very difficult to ascertain the particular miscreant who has caused our sufferings, because we are bewildered by all the different opinions of theoretical philosophers.
* Srila Prabhupada's (SP) purport is also so wonderful: There are many theoretical philosophers in the world who put forward their own theories of cause and effect especially about the cause of suffering and its effect on different living beings.
- Generally there are six great philosophers: Kanada, the author of Vaisesika philosophy; Gautama, the author of logic; Patanjali, the author of mystic yoga; Kapila, the author of Sankhya philosophy; Jaimini, the author of Karma-mimamsa; and Vyasadeva, the author of Vedanta-darsana.
* Also SP mentions how a devotee tells takes every problem as Krishna's mercy
- Prabhuji mentions about his own experiences of previous accidents and how Krishna saved him throughout.
* We should have strong faith in Guru and Krishna and must take shelter of the holy name.
* SP: Krishna is so powerful, that he immediately takes away all the sins of a living entity and make one completely sinless.
* Devotee should not view an offender as their enemy. We should just know that it is our own reactions coming back at us. If we point at one, there are three fingers pointing us.
* The cause of one's own suffering is one's own mind.
* Patience and perseverance is necessary.
* Teachings of BG and SB will always remain true. They all mention that the actual cause of suffering is our own reactions and of course it is all by Krishna's will, and that also He is just giving it in small portions although we deserve more distress.
