Today morning after walking met my walking friend, he had recently lost his wife for Corona Virus

He asked me

1 why do bad things happen to good people ?

2. Is God bad ?

I told him

God is very kind and merciful , he grants all your desires, but on one condition, First in First out ( FIFO )

In a day how much onr desires, in a month how much one desires, in a life time how much one desires, even we might forget what we desired, but God remembers

As a Paramatma He is always residing in your heart and watching and recording all your actions , He is not the doer but He is there as a witness. Like a chip recording each and every act of yours

First thing one has to remember is that we are not this body but spirit soul

We were there before, we are there now & we will be there after,we are eternal, but we keep changing bodies
Friend : changing bodies ?
Me : yes even in this life term , we have changed so many bodies , as a 6 month baby you had a different body, as a boy you had a different body

As a college student you had a different body, now your body is different, when you grow old you will have a different body, but the person inside you is the same.Similarly at death you will get another body

Friend: i agree with what you say,But on what basis do i get next body

Me : read this sloka from BG
asitis.com/8/6.html

One gets next body based on
1. Whatever one thinks at the time of death
2.His unfulfilled desires
3.His /her consciousness at the time of death
And some more factors

Friend : still cant forget my wife

Me : i know its tough

Me : when your wife died, her body was still there, what was missing ?
Fr : Soul
Me : but your entire life you considered her and yourself as the body ,
Fr : i understand now
Me : we are like sand particles in a beach , based on our karma , some sand particles come together

Me : these sand particles stay together as husband, wife, father, son etc ,Another wave these sand particles are seperated & they form a relation ship, either in the same body or in another, another wave displaces them again this keeps going on and on

Fr : how to get out of this

Me : I cannot talk much today, lets continue tomorrow , for now dony forget to do all ceremonies for your wife, it helps her to travel well

Fr : i was apprehensive, but after listening to you i have solace, will do all ceremonies as per my family tradition

Me : Hare Krishna
