Once, a devotee came to the temple every day. He worked there with devotion. He had visions of the Lord. One day, he said, "Lord, you stand here day and night. Please come and visit me wherever I stand."
At the devotee's repeated requests, the Lord said, "Okay, but you must stand here quietly. Any devotee may come and request anything, call out to him, or see anything, right or wrong, but you must remain silent. I have already made appropriate arrangements for every devotee who comes to the temple."
At the devotee's request, the Lord left the devotee standing there. After some time, a wealthy businessman came to the temple and said, "Lord, please bless me with a profitable business this time too." As he prayed to God and was about to leave, his purse full of money fell into the temple. The devotee standing in God's place thought of stopping him and telling him that his purse had fallen, but he remembered God's words: "You will only watch what is happening, you will not say anything."
After the wealthy businessman, a poor man whose wife was very ill came to the temple. He was praying to God, "Lord, I don't have money for my wife's treatment. Please perform a miracle so that I can arrange for the money."
At that very moment, his eyes fell on the wealthy businessman's fallen purse. The poor man picked up the purse and, seeing the money inside, exclaimed, "Lord, your miracles are infinite. While I prayed to you, you performed a miracle." The poor man thanked God and left the temple. This time too, the devotee standing in God's place tried to stop him, saying that the purse's fall was not a miracle from God, but rather that the businessman had accidentally dropped it. But remembering God's words, he remained silent.
Following the poor man, a businessman arrived at the temple, about to travel to another country by ship for business. He had come to pray to God for a successful journey. While the businessman was praying, the wealthy businessman arrived with the police, claiming that someone had stolen his purse from the temple.
He thought the businessman had found his purse after he left and had probably hidden it somewhere. As the police began to take the businessman away, the devotee standing in God's place exclaimed, "The poor man whose wife is ill had stolen the purse. This businessman is innocent." The police released him and went to arrest the poor man.

When God returned, the devotee recounted the entire incident. He thought God would praise him for his actions, but God said, "I told you to stand quietly where you are. But you ruined everything by telling the truth."
That wealthy businessman earned money by robbing people and using all sorts of illegal means. If that poor man's wife had been treated with his money, he would have earned the virtue, even if unknowingly. Secondly, losing so much money wouldn't have made any difference to his wealth. But for that poor man, that money was precious; it would have saved his wife and provided him with groceries for a few days. Because of you, that poor man will now be in jail, and his wife's treatment will be difficult.
That businessman was supposed to travel by ship today, but a storm is coming and the ship he was traveling on is going to sink. If he had gone to jail today, he wouldn't have been able to travel and he would have been saved from drowning. The police would have released him tomorrow due to lack of evidence. You messed everything up.
Now that devotee is regretting his mistake.
It's true that whatever God does is for good. Many times in our lives, when a difficult situation arises, we immediately start blaming God, "Oh God! Why did you do this to me?" But after some time, we realize that if God hadn't put us in such circumstances at that time, we wouldn't have been able to succeed.
