God lives in the heart of the people

The sufferings of those who are soaked in a sea of sorrows would never go unnoticed by God.He never leaves anyone to continue to suffer their pain and be helpless.There is no one in this world who has struggled and suffered pain from birth till death.Similarly there is no one in this world who has always been happy from birth till death.This is nature of life.When you say life,it comprises of all aspects,happiness and sorrow,sin and grace, good people and bad people.This is way of life.Only if we suffer pain in our life we will be able to realize the complete value of happiness.For instance,if you continue to stay in an Air Conditioned room all day you would nt realize its value.Go out and spend few time in the heat of direct sunlight and then come back thats when you realize its value.

This is the reason why God has filled each and every life on this planet with happiness as well as sorrow.This is the reason why when we go through a happy experience we love life and want to live it to fullest.At the same time if struck with a unhappy and sorrow event we hate our life and expect it to end soon.

But i feel that God does nt like these kind of people.I think this is the reason why some people dont get God's grace.If one happily accepts success and rejoices it but at the same time does nt want failure and does nt accept defeat,then it just means he has not yet understood God and Nature.

First we need to understand nothing is permanent in our life.When we get happiness,if we realize that it is just temporary,then we will rejoice it in a disciplined manner.Similarly when we are struck with grief,if we realize this is also not permanent,then we wont break into tears unable to bear the load of the failure.Life will have both mixed in their right proportions.Also it is good for life and our health.

We also need to know one thing.When compared to many other problems in life, money problem-i mean the problem of not having enough money is not at all a big problem.Some relative or someone we know of ours dieing in their young age,not able to get married and not able to lead a happy married life at the right age,our children not growing in a proper manner,some minor misunderstandings or fights with our close friend,betrayal of someone whom we love so much.....are examples of sorrows which can affect us to a great extent.Even I have thought before that if we have money we can overcome whatever grief strikes us.But now I have realized it is not like that.Not having money is jus a minor and short lived problem.But the problems i mentioned above are difficult problems which at times do not have any solutions.

When we face a problem - whether it be financial problem or something which affects us mentally - whatever may happen, there is no meaning in living life, suffering about the problem in our hearts unable to bear the pain the problem has caused us.Instantly, we need to spend every nerve of our mind to concentrate on how to solve the problem.Let me tell you how we need to think and analyse the problem-How did this problem occur? Why it occured? Due to whom it occured? What is our fault in it? If we analyse like this deeply,the origin of the problem will automatically become clear to us. If the mistake is ours, we should instantly ask "Sorry". If it is the fault of someone else,we need to make them understand their fault.When we tell a lie,in order to save that lie we need to tell hundred more lies. Similarly when we dont concentrate on solving a problem in its budding stages,it will start to nurture and grow to cause many more problems

I will just say one thing finally.God is not present anywhere else.He is present in the hearts and minds of the people.I have visited many places.I have even visited every nook and corner of this world.The humanity,mercy,helping tendancy which the tamil people have is not present in anyone else.That is the reason why everyone says "வந்தாரை வாழ வைக்கும் தமிழகம்"

If someone has the talent,skill,good thoughts and if he is a good human being ,the tamil people wont bother about his language or caste or anything else.So should nt there be a yardstick as to how to behave with people of such high qualities? If some one does any harm to them or betrays them - God wont let them without punishing them.
