God is never wrong
(a story e-mailed by Mr.Suresh Chauhan)
A king who did not believe in the goodness of God,
had a slave who, in all circumstances, said: My king,
do not be discouraged,because everything God does
is perfect, no mistakes!
One day they went hunting and along the way a wild
animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the
animal, but could not prevent his majesty losing a finger.
animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the
animal, but could not prevent his majesty losing a finger.
Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved,
the nobleman said "Is God good? If He was good, I would
not have been attacked and lost my finger."
the nobleman said "Is God good? If He was good, I would
not have been attacked and lost my finger."
The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I
can only tell you that God is good, and he knows "why(?)"
of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is
never wrong!"
can only tell you that God is good, and he knows "why(?)"
of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is
never wrong!"
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest
of his slave.Later, he left for another hunt and was
captured by savages who made human sacrifices.
In the altar, ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages
found that the victim did not have one of his fingers, so
he was released. According to them, king's body was not
complete due to missing finger, hence not fit to be
offered to the Gods. Upon his return to the palace,
he authorized the release of his slave & received him very
affectionately.

"My dear, God was really good to me! I was almost
killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was
let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did
he allow me to put you in jail?"

"My King, if I had gone with you in this hunt, I would have
been sacrificed instead of you, because I have no missing
finger, therefore, remember --
"everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong."

Often we complain about life, and negative things that
happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that
everything has a purpose(depending upon one's Prarabhda
Karma).
