Trials of Faith
I was reminded this morning, upon reading Srimad Bhagavatam, of the trials of the Pandavas, especially their exile to the forest--they were in the Royal Order, and accustomed to living very well--soft beds, fine food, etc. and now they were forced to make do in the forest, with a bed of leaves and whatever they could find to eat--I believe this lasted 7 years--I also have no money and no food, but this situation will not last 7 years--I suspect having made some considerable spiritual progress, I am being tried--Job came to mind, but not quite so badly; will my faith see through the unreality of this to the Goodness of God manifest?
