The so-called happy materialistic person is constantly having to endure the threefold miseries of life, called adhidaivika, adhyatmika and adhibhautika.Actually no one can counteract these threefold miseries. All three may assail one at one time, or one misery may be absent and the other present. Thus the living entity is full of anxiety, fearing misery from one side or the other. The conditioned soul must be disturbed by at least one of these three miseries. There is no escape.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => SB 5.14.25

Note:

We all have observed that during miseries one faces either financial crisis or health crisis or theft or even defamation at times.

It is only when defamation takes place do we observe one becomes either astik or nastik.

Devotees star depending on the lord more and come closer to Lord and by doing this there has only been gain than any loss ever.

Defamation are of two types one that is awarded by the lord in the case of Aswatthama and one that is dawned on a devotee by envious souls in the form of deceit as in the case of Pandavas during Draupadi's Vastra Harana.

Defamation of this kind on an external level is of adhibhautika nature but on the internal level this was arranged by the Supreme Lord Himself to guide and teach us.
