The Lord creates hostile forces to
demonstrate the power of faith in
the Divine and to confer peace and
plenty on the believers.
Just as a mother provides toys
and sweets to a child for its pleasure,
though they are of no use to her,
God creates certain situations for
the sake of the devotee, to bring
out the depth of his devotion.
Even in small matters, we find that
their true nature is discovered only
by experiencing the elements opposed to them.
For instance, if one wants to develop physical strength,
he has to subject the body to strenuous exercises.
Even a diamond requires to be cut and polished
to enhance its brilliance and value.
