Why Do Bad Things Happen? | If God Exists Why Do We Suffer? | Reality Is Perfect

Many people ask the question 'If God exists then why do bad things happen in my life?' or 'Why do bad things happen to good people?'
Satpal Singh explores the good and bad, good and evil, as well as the importance of acceptance of universal law, natural law or divine flow known as 'Hukam' in spirituality.
In this workshop Satpal Singh covers:
- Seeing reality for what is really is
- How to stop blaming others for your unhappiness
- Looking at life beyond the ego
- A holistic approach to wellbeing
00:00 - Intro
05:18 - Blaming external circumstances for internal suffering
14:58 - Understanding the causes of suffering
29:46 - Everyone is running after happiness
31:23 - Is God the doer of all good or everything
39:26 - How to let go of suffering
The following verses are explained:
ਪੁਛਿ ਨ ਸਾਜੇ ਪੁਛਿ ਨ ਢਾਹੇ ਪੁਛਿ ਨ ਦੇਵੈ ਲੇਇ ॥
puchh na saaje puchh na ddaahe puchh na dhevai lei ||
It seeks no advice when creating; it seeks no advice when destroying. It seeks no advice while giving or taking.
ਆਪਣੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਆਪੇ ਕਰਣੁ ਕਰੇਇ ॥
aapanee kudharat aape jaanai aape karan karei ||
It alone knows its creative power; It itself does all deeds.
ਸਭਨਾ ਵੇਖੈ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਜੈ ਭਾਵੈ ਤੈ ਦੇਇ ॥੪॥
sabhanaa vekhai nadhar kar jai bhaavai tai dhei ||4||
It behold and sees all. It gives to those with whom it is pleased. ||4||
ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
ਦੁਕ੍ਰਿਤ ਸੁਕ੍ਰਿਤ ਮੰਧੇ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ਸਗਲਾਣਾ ॥
dhukirat sukirat ma(n)dhe sa(n)saar sagalaanaa ||
The whole world is engrossed in bad deeds and good deeds.
ਦੁਹਹੂੰ ਤੇ ਰਹਤ ਭਗਤੁ ਹੈ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਜਾਣਾ ॥੧॥
dhuhahoo(n) te rahat bhagat hai koiee viralaa jaanaa ||1||
The devotee is above both, but those who understand this are very rare. ||1||
ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਸਰਬੇ ਸਮਾਣਾ ॥
Thaakur sarabe samaanaa ||
The Master is pervading in all.
ਕਿਆ ਕਹਉ ਸੁਣਉ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤੂੰ ਵਡ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਸੁਜਾਣਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
kiaa kahau sunau suaamee too(n) vadd purakh sujaanaa ||1|| rahaau ||
What should I say and hear, O Master? You are the Great, all-knowing being. ||1||Pause||

    I am practicing most of these teaching from a long time may be it is due to Gurbani that my grandmother used to taught me when I was a kid, may be questions about spirituality of which I found answers of in my childhood or may me some experiences in life. But one thing is sure these sikhi sidhant can change life of anyone. I am still trying to learn and perfect because I know it works.

    A Gursikh is one that constantly thinks of death everyday. For them death is bliss. Being dead while yet alive. There’s a sakhi of this when Nanak asks Mardana about how far death is for him. The Latter responds about whether he’ll see the sun tomorrow or even the next foot step. Frwd. Nanak still says , for you then death is very far. Death is actually whether I’ll be able to take the next gasp in after I’ve breathed the last one out. Being at Peace is NOT Being happy , it’s being content. Because if it were happiness , then what happens after the peak?! Ans : The downward slope. And that is not peace.

Ich sage JAH! Zu Deinem Herz! Du bist JAH, mein Beweger! Ich bin der Ball, Du JAH der Schläger; Ich sage JAH! Zu Fluch und Segen! Mögest Du, JAH, mein Herz bewegen!

    No matter what anyone says the fact remains that this physical body is designed with 5 senses to be focusing outward. We are designed to focus on survival. The life goes on with the mind focusing on survival. This situation is further compounded by the way society behaves where the Aim of life is to enjoy the material world . Net net its a pathetic situation. Most of us can at best just manage to understand some concept. Walking on that path just impossible. Funny part is a lot of us love giving sermon. In one of his sermons he says Guru Nanak says that "tera ant na paya" but he already knows as how the universe works. Guru gobind singh ji aptly says " Aap Aapni boojh uchare"

    What we think of as "bad" depends on what our definition of "bad" is. One person's "bad" is another person's "good" (depending on what we have been taught/chosen to believe). For example, some people believe it is good to grow hair in the name of God, while others believe it is good to cut hair in the name of God. "Bad" can never be eliminated completely, as some elements of "good" and "bad" occur due to random chance/probability.

    Here you can actually also apply hukum, by saying that if it is meant for the child to know, then the child will know. Whether the child will be able to understand it at the age of 4, or that if the child is meant to live till the age of comprehension.
