In the ans. it was written that we have options to choose but still it is destined. God has written everything for everyone. Then why God has written bad things for someone. Now some people say Poorva janam. Now again why he has done bad in last birth. If human do on their own then i will say nothing is predestined. I am looking for more clarifications? I am not satisfied with the ans. posted.

Sat Siri Akal.

There is this great line in the Guru and you'll have to forgive me because i have forgotten the page number, but the line goes something like this:

"God, Himself, leads the man astray. And by leading him astray, He instructs him."

Why do some people received good things and some people receive bad things? Because this is just a play, just God's fun, and God is instructing us to that we grow in the awareness of the truth that He lives within us. Sometimes, you can have a very happy, simple life and nothing goes wrong. It's pleseant. But it doesn't push you to grow in your own awareness. Sometimes, life can be very difficult. Everything falls apart. Nothing makes sense. And in that experience, you begin to search for something more, something deeper and then you begin to connect with an experience of the Infinite. So - our lives are arranged by God so that we learn the lessons He wants us to learn in order to grow in our awareness and experience of Him.


I hope this helps with your questions.

All love.
