Are Life’s Hardships Unjust?
Wheat should go through many stages before becoming bread that we can eat. If wheat is allowed to complain, it will go to a court and say:
1- I was with my mother, the earth, but man reaped me and separated me from her.
2- He crushed me and separated me from the home in which I was living.
3- He then used a millstone to grind me into flour.
4- He mixed me with water and bread yeast and started kneading me.
5- The baker hit me in the head and put me in the oven and baked me.
6- People crushed me with their teeth (when I became bread).
Yes, wheat goes through very difficult stages to become food for man. Naturally, in order to become part of man’s body and cells, different elements should go through various stages. But after these hardships, they are elevated.
We should accept the fact that the path of perfection and development for all beings goes through difficulties and hardships.
