Swajan: There are different stages in life. Sometimes everything runs smoothly and at other times there are lots of difficulties. Are the difficulties result of our mistakes or from certain kind of works?
Pujya Shree Mota: Once we realize and understand the difficulty, it does not appear as difficulty. Solution also tends to come much sooner. Difficulty is also a result of karma (works, actions). Nothing can take size or shape without Karma (works, actions). Karma is essential in yoga of devotion and knowledge and other yogas too. I am not convinced that sadhana can be done separately from works. Performing karmas is the bases of all. Develop oneness while performing works. Oneness solidifies when it happens with bhava of Bhagawan. The results of the works done over many births can be good or bad. This is the result of different bad works done by us and it causes different kind of difficulties, pain, sorrows and calamities. For this reason it is wrong to believe that all these difficulties are because of God. This belief is due to lack of understanding. Whatever is created is the result of our own actions. The world around us is the result of our actions. Difficulties are also the result of our actions. This is only intellectual understanding. When the true understanding results from the experiences, there is knowledge of the solution of the difficulties as soon as difficulty arises, not that difficulty will not arise. One can act on the bases of this knowledge. So at this level of true understanding, difficulties do not remain as difficulties since it does not last long and action is taken to alleviate the difficulties. Actually action is taken automatically and difficulties do not feel like difficulties.
