How else can you call the father compassionate?

If the elder son keeps on hitting the younger one, will the
‘kind’ mother still pamper the elder one?

What is your calculation of kindness? All living organisms are
the Almighty Lord’s dear children. By way of our reckless
activities, we keep on troubling and killing them, we do not
bother to save and protect them. In spite of this the Lord

showers us with His compassion and keeps us happy. How
can we expect this? Is this justice?

When we remember God in adverse times, we really do not
want to improve our life, do not wish to sacrifice or give up
anything. We want to remain lazy and selfish and still desire
that He eradicates all our miseries and bestows happiness.
But if that is really possible, no one in this world would ever

be sad and dejected.

We were talking about Adeya Namakarma and Saubhagya
Namakarma. In spite of trying to be favourable to everyone,
it may happen that people do not like your presence, your
words and deeds. Here, no one except our Dourbhagya
Namakarma is to blame. Because of it we do not get the love
and respect of others. It is all a result of the sins that we have
committed in the past.

1) We had disrespected Arihanta Lords,

2) We had not respected and honoured them.

3) We had humiliated Jain monks and nuns.
