You may have noticed that those who perform good deeds are troubled, while those who commit evil deeds live happily. Those who perform good deeds are perplexed, wondering why they face so many trials, while those who follow the path of unrighteousness are happy and enjoying life. If this question has arisen in your mind, then today we will answer it for you. This answer is written in the Bhagavad Gita and given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna.
According to the story described in the Bhagavad Gita, whenever Arjuna faced a dilemma, he would approach Lord Krishna. Once, Arjuna approached Lord Krishna and expressed his dilemma and wanted an answer. Lord Krishna asked, "What is your question?" Arjuna replied, "I want to know why bad things always happen to good people, while bad people appear happy." Hearing this from Arjuna, Lord Krishna smiled and said, "Man does not always experience what he thinks and feels; rather, due to ignorance, he is unable to understand the truth." Arjuna failed to understand this. What Krishna said next is known.
Krishna said to Arjuna, "Parth, I will tell you a story. After listening to it, you will understand that every creature receives the fruits of its actions. Nature gives everyone the opportunity to choose their own path; now it depends on the individual's will whether to choose the path of righteousness or unrighteousness." Beginning the story, Krishna said, "Two men lived in a city. One was a merchant who held religion in high regard. He believed in worship and prayers. He visited the temple every day, gave charity, and worshipped God daily. The other man was the complete opposite. He went to the temple every day, not to worship, but to steal shoes and slippers from outside the temple. He had nothing to do with charity or religion. Time passed, and one day it was raining heavily, so there was no one in the temple except the priest. When the other man learned of this, he said, 'This is the perfect opportunity to steal the temple's wealth.' He stole all the temple's money, avoiding the priest's gaze. At the same time, a man with religious beliefs arrived. Unfortunately, the priest mistook him for the thief and began shouting. People gathered and beat him severely. He somehow managed to escape, but misfortune followed him even there. Outside the temple, he was hit by a car and injured. Then, limping home, the merchant met the man who had stolen the money. He exclaimed, "My luck has shined today! I've found so much money all at once." He was deeply saddened by this and removed all images of God from his house. A few years later, both men died. Upon their deaths, when the good man arrived at Yama's court, and the man saw the other man, he became furious. Enraged, he asked Yama, "I always did good deeds and believed in charity. In return, I received only humiliation and pain throughout my life, while this man received a bag full of notes. Why such discrimination?" Yamaraj replied, "Son, you're misunderstanding. The day your car collided was the last day of your life. But because of your good deeds, your death was reduced to just a small injury. You want to know about this evil man. He was destined for Raja Yoga, but because of his misdeeds and unrighteousness, it was reduced to just a small bundle of money."
After narrating the story, Lord Krishna said to Arjun, "Parth, have you now found the answer to your question?"
So, friends! Thinking that God is ignoring your actions is completely untrue. Humans don't understand what God gives us and when. But if you continue to do good deeds, God's blessings remain forever. Therefore, you shouldn't change your good deeds, because we receive their rewards in this very life. Therefore, it is a human duty to always continue doing good deeds, because Lord Krishna also explained in the Gita that no action goes in vain, whether good or bad.
