We think we humans have it tough. Would be so much easier to be a God or Goddess, isn’t it?
But the rules don’t change, no matter what. Here are some examples:
- Lord Rama endured 14 years of harsh exile and waged a deadly war to rescue Sita.
- Goddess Sita was abducted, forced into exile, and had to prove her purity by walking through fire.
- Lord Hanuman had to cross a vast ocean and battle powerful demons, driven by unwavering devotion to Rama.
- Goddess Parvati subjected herself to intense years of severe penance to win Shiva’s love.
- Lord Krishna served as nothing more than Arjuna’s charioteer, guiding him through the bloodshed and chaos of Kurukshetra.
This is what the greatest of the great Gods had to endure. Who are we in comparison?!
