WHY GOD ALLOWS PAIN? (BEST EXPLANATION EVER!) >

 

This is one of the best explanations of why God > allows pain and suffering that I have seen: > > A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut > and his beard trimmed. > > As the barber began to work, they began to have > a good conversation. They talked about so many > things and various subjects. > > When they eventually touched on the subject of > God, the barber said: 'I don't believe that God > exists.' 'Why do you say that?' asked the > customer. 'Well, you just have to go out in the > street to realize that God doesn't exist. > > Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many > sick people? Would there be abandoned children? > If God existed, there would be neither suffering > nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would > allow all of these things.' > > The customer thought for a moment, but didn't > respond because he didn't want to start an argument. > > The barber finished his job and the customer left > the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw > a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair > and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. > > The customer turned back and entered the barber shop > again and he said to the barber: 'You know what? > barbers do not exist.' 'How can you say that?' asked > the surprised barber. 'I am here, and I am a barber. > And I just worked on you!' > > 'No!' the customer exclaimed. 'Barbers don't exist > because if they did, there would be no people with > dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man > outside.' > > 'Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when > people do not come to me.' 'Exactly!' affirmed the > customer. 'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! > That's what happens when people do not go to Him and > don't look to Him for help. > > That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the > world.' > > If you think God exists, send this to other people--- > > If you think God does not exist, delete it! > > BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!!!!!!! >

Nice and correct example of existence of God,God is everywhere we have to feel him.Wind is there ,we cannot see but feel only,it also induce storms and many tornado etc. even thogh its needed for our survival.Similarly everything in this world has got two sides,good and bad......We have to feel and accept it by all means.Teachers in school love and teaches ,he also takes examinations to find how much knowledge one student has concieved.
Similar is relation with god ,God is there but he give us pain and sorrow to feel the taste of happiness.

Ziz saheb... Galat samjha aapne!

I just loved your answer. It got out spontaneous laughter because of the simplicity with which you have explained a complex issue!! Agar kisi tarike se aapko galat laga ho to muafi chahta hoon!! Waise experience ki baat hai to Sirji .... dekhne ka takazaa hai... :)

makrand bhai , dekhne ka takaza hai ,
koi banda tumhare liye asur hai ho sakta mere liye devta ho and the vise versa
you are still entangled in " money " i.e subramoney , parsimoney , chintamoney , lingayamoney etc , etc 
opinion ki depth mein jaana chahiye naa ki try to answer it at the surface level .
10 years back , my mental level was similar to yours.
experince and feel life , becoz experience is the best teacher.
by the way , as BEE GEE's say.
" words and words i only have to take your >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"
just ponder over it with a cup of coffee in your hand while watching sun rising from " NORWAY"

LOL @ Mr. Ziz!!

If there was no evil how would you judge GOOD?
If there was no demon how would you judge GOD?
If there was no pain how would you judge Happiness??

Its all hand-in-glove! One cannot exist without the other. Its this co existence that makes you believe and wonder.... GOD ... Does he exist? For me, I believe HE DOES!

GOD Allows Pain To Test Us.But the greatest thing is that, during the sorrows also, if we don't leave HIM and keep on praying HIM, HE gives the utmost than what we have desired for.For instance, Hanumanji tests Tulasidas intially,But Tulasidas had overcome all the tests that were played by Hanumanji and at last Tulasidas had become such a great person, HE got that oppurtunity to write RAMAYANA and attained Salvation. There is a saying By Lord Krishna, "Being born as a human-being, which is the highest degree of GOD's Creation,You put your efforts 99% and I shall help you that 1% WHICH WOULD BE COUNTLESS TIMES AND IMMORTAL Times Greater than the efforts that You had put in".

If happiness is there, then there shld be pain. Thts how the world is balanced. But circumstantial pain is one thing and inflicting pain on others for self gain is another. One man will keep hurting other bcoz the other lets him do it. Wht can God do in tht case. Whn we hear news of rape, killing & bloodshed, all hope of God being there is lost. Whn we hear stories of savious, helpers & people saving lives of unknown for no reason, we belive in the goodness. But all these are people only and these outcomes come from them, thier love & hope. For me human is a mirror of bad & good, its us to decide which face to explore and support.Everybody knows no one has ever seen God, but still we cling to the faith bcoz that is one thing which keeps us from being monsters and act like God.

hi,
I also support that the Inner self is the best God. Listen to that. But most of the time we do not listen that. But that give us the best Idea at the time of difficulty.
accept yourself, god is nowhere but inside all of us, shed darkness of evilness and listen to your inner voice, it will guide you the right way,
