Are not all people are equal to God? So He should provide happiness to all. But, some people suffer terribly throughout their life. Some others enjoy good luck and happiness from birth to death. Is such a partiality , appropriate to God?
Most people have the above doubt. The reason for this is , ignorance of the Supreme Truth.
The origin is one and only *Paramathma* (God) . A tiny bit of it becomes the individual sole ( Jivathma). The ultimate ambition of the *Jivatma* is to return to it's divine origin, the *Paramathma*. Births are repeated efforts in this regard. In every birth, the Jivathma tries it's level best to return permanently to the original source.
This is a cyclic process . A Dog's soul may enter next in a human body. When it happens, we call it human-birth. After numerous such births and deaths , the Jivathma will at last attain *Paramathma*. This is called *Moksham*(Salvation) or freedom from birth and death.
All world religions urge it's followers to return to God. Spirituality is the correct awareness to proceed in this rightful path. A dog which accidentally got isolated from home , after wandering lot of places, finally returns home successfully . But, this dog is forced to experience all the insults, stone pelting, starving and all such sufferings without losing heart, until it reaches home.
So, how a Body get it's Soul or *Jivathma*? . It's basis is *Karma*. The net balance of positive or negative actions in previous life, decides the new Body. One who did mostly *Mlecha* ( dirty) actions , will be re-born as insect or worm . Meritorious deeds will enable one to be re-born in a Human body .
When one attains this hard earned Human-body, he/she should try to increase the *Satvic-karma* ( righteous actions) . Such a *satvic* attitude is refreshing like applying butter on the Moorthy of Sri Krishna .
So, happiness and sorrow are not the caused by God. We ourselves by own actions have caused it . A child took a stick and beat the water in a gutter. As a result, mud in the gutter taints the child's cloth.Similarly, we also by our Thoughts,Desires, Speaches and Actions, have dirtied the *Jivathma* seated in our heart . Such bad deeds are the reason for all our sufferings. It was just the Child's ignorance caused it to beat gutter-water . But, cleaning is necessary to remove mud from it's cloth.
Similarly, *Jivathma-cleaning* is necessary to escape from our sufferings. Constantly chanting *Krishna-namam* ( names of Bhagavan Sri Krishna) is the right process recommended by Bhagavan Himself to eliminate the sufferings and progress to *Moksham* .
