When trouble strikes and our hearts grow faint we so often forget the great love Shiva has for us and we begin to doubt his goodness toward us.

मेरे जिस्म ओ जान में भोलेनाथ नाम तुम्हारा है, आज अगर मैं खुश हूँ तो यह एहसान भी तुम्हारा है! 
थामा हुआ है हाथ मेरा आपने मुझको मालूम है, मेरे हर पल हर लम्हे में मेरे भोलेनाथ, प्यार तुम्हारा है!!!
जय जय भोलेनाथ!!

When trouble strikes and our hearts grow faint we so often forget the great love Shiva has for us and we begin to doubt his goodness toward us. We begin to be consumed by our stress and our fears and begin to blame HIM.  But why not remember his compassion and Kindness towards us in tough times so that our strength is renewed. When the Halahal came out during the churning of the ocean, neither the demons or deities were willing to consume it. It would have destroyed the world. Only Shiva came forward to save the mankind. He for the sake of humanity swallowed the poison which emerged from the ocean. Because he loves us, he can't see us suffer. He is Ashutosh, he is kind, he is benevolent. Shiva knows our daily needs, we have to remember His kindness toward us in the middle of our unkind circumstances. When the poison emerges anywhere in our lives, and we think we will die if we consume it, we should accept it cheerfully. Secret is to drink it, for if we don’t drink it the fight will continue. Poison always comes; obstacles always come. When we work for good causes, the poison always comes before the nectar. However, we must never get discouraged. We must never give up. If the devas and demons had forfeited the churning at the sign of poison, the nectar of immortality would never have emerged, and it would have been a tragedy for the world. Similarly, we must always have faith that the nectar will come. It is only a matter of time. We must be willing to churn and churn, no matter what comes, be it poison or nectar. So Never doubt the love and the goodness of God to you. He doesn’t promise a storm free life but He does promise to be the anchor in the storm to help you sail smoothly. Trust Him today. Trust Him hourly and learn to trust Him moment by moment, and he won't let you down!!!! Jai Bholenath!!
