The sufferings

The sufferings, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
We all understand and accept that sinful activities and ignorance are the causes of all our sufferings. In relation to this theme I share these two verses of Srimad Bhagavatam, 1, 8, 24 and 25, there it is said: My dear Kṛṣṣṇa, Yours Your Honor has protected us from a poisoned cake, from a great fire, from cannibals, from the vicious assembly, from sufferings during our exile in the forest and from the battle in which great generals fought. And now it has saved us from Aśvatthama's weapon. I want all those calamities to happen again and again, so that we can see you again and again, because seeing you means that we will no longer see the repeated births and deaths. Srila Prabhupada always said that if suffering reminds us of God or Krishna they are very welcome, and that the only way is to tolerate everything. Tolerance and mercy are qualities that go together, a person if he is merciful will be tolerant, and if he is not merciful he will not be tolerant, the example is Jesus Christ, he was made many offenses by the demoniac and envious people, and he tolerated everything at point of praying to God for his offenders, he taught us by his example to love enemies. Of course he forgave his enemies for their offenses, but God or Krishna never forgives the offenses they make to His devotees, He demonstrates His love by punishing the offenders, tells the story that the followers of Jesus Christ protested and said that because they were offending this person who is innocent and a very good person, and they answered that if this person is innocent, that the blood of this person passes through our generations, and this has been and will be, as long as they do not apologize for the offenses, those people they will suffer eternally for having offended a pure devotee of God.
It is said in the Srimad Bhagavatam, that the supreme worship of God or Krishna is to accept the sufferings of others in your own person, that is what a representative of God or Krishna does, at the time of spiritual initiation the guru takes everything the karma of his disciple, and thus the disciple can be pure, Srila Prabhupada says in his books that because of the karma that the guru grasps from his disciples, sometimes the guru has bad dreams or gets sick.
