GOOD PATIENT A devotee never prays to God, even if they have to undergo so much trouble. They know that God will give us ultimately protection. Let us do our duty. When a devotee is in difficulty, he is not disturbed. He thinks, It is Gods wish that I should suffer like like this. It is not suffering; it is my pleasure. Just like when a patient is undergoing surgical operation, there is pain, but he knows, It is better for me. Therefore agrees, Yes sir. You go on with your knife. So when you are surrendered to God and he says that I shall give you protection, so even in our distressed condition we must know that we are being protected by God or Krishna. We should not be disturbed. Because we create so-called distress and happiness. Actually this world is distress. Here the so-called happiness is also distress. So why a devotee should be disturbed by distressed condition?.Just like physician says, You dont take this along with medicine. You take this. That is rules and regulation. If you follow, then you do not become victim of disease again. If you dont follow, then you again fall sick.What the physician will do?.The first necessity is tapasya, or acceptance of austerity. If a doctor advises a diabetic patient not to eat but to starve for some days, although no one likes to starve, the patient must voluntarily accept starvation if he wants to be cured. This is voluntary acceptance of a miserable condition. The ability to do this is good, and human life is meant for that purpose. Ref >> Srila Prabhupada Vani.
