Why in life you are always tested and challenged when God wants to make us happy?

We are people, not programmed devices

Speech by RATAN TATA given Symbiosis, Pune....

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions. Don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a prepaid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? …It's OK, Bunk few classes, score low in couple of papers, take leave from work, fall in love, fight a little with ur spouse... It's ok... We are people, not programmed devices..!

Q: Why in life you are always tested and challenged when God wants to make us happy?

Guruji: Know that every test in an opportunity for you to grow. Don't take it as a test!

A test is not to know whether you are strong or not, but it for you to realize that 'Yes, I am strong'. God is not ignorant that he needs to check and see whether you have the strength or not. God already knows your capacity; nature knows your capacity. The tests are for you to realize that you are strong. If you find that you are going through testing times, it is for you to realize that you are much bigger and you can overcome that. It is for your own knowledge.

========================

True education is that by which the individual is strengthened and can be away from sorrow.
