This is a old saying from Jamaica and surely, there are similar saying in all the
languages. For every action there is equal and opposite reaction aka Karma.Nothing
happens by chance.Whatever you experience or happening in this life are the
consequences of your actions from your past life which includes this life and
countless previous lives.
You dont need to get angry at God or try to threaten God that I will not pray to you
or why are you doing this to me, what have I done to deserve this etc. If you spit into
the sky, the sky is not affected but, it is the person who spat gets it back.
In the Canto 7 of Srimad Bhagavatam, we see that Prahlad a small boy of 5 years is
harassed by his demoniac father in numerous ways. The reason was that he was
worshiping Lord Narayana who Hiranyakashipu considered as his enemy. So he tried
everything, to harm, kill the little boy by throwing him into a fire, a room full of
snakes, boiling oil, throwing him from a cliff, walking elephants over him. And, what
did Prahlad do?. He did not say Oh God, why are you doing this to me.I am afterall
your devotee ? I will stop praying you. He was totally undisturbed and brave, not
resisting in any of the acts his father did on him. The Lord took personally care of
him by saving him from all the inconveniences and dangers posed by his
Hiranyakashipu.
Similarly, in life we face bad things rather than questioning God, we need to question
ourselves why this is happening. Treat others like the way you want to be treated.
Definitely, it is not due to your Wife, Boss, friends back biting you. And generally, the
tendency is that once you get used to this Habit of blaming others, sometimes those
people can't or won't find anyone else to blame and then they turn to the unseen God.
