49. The Suffering-Exchange Offer!
A man was feeling very burdened by his suffering. Every day he would pray to God, 'Everybody is so happy, why do only I have to suffer?' One day, he was really depressed and prayed. 'I am not able to bear my pain anymore. Please take it away! Even if I have to take someone else's pain in exchange. I am ready to do that.'
That night he had a dream where he saw God telling everyone in his village to bring all their sufferings to Him. So everybody gathered their sufferings in big bags and they all rushed to God. Then God said, 'Now you can keep your bags around me.' Everybody was very happy to get rid of their sufferings and dropped off their bags. Then, as they had asked in their prayers, God said, 'Ok now you can pick up any bag you want.'
Suddenly, everybody including this man, rushed to take his own bag! Not only he, but all the others were also doing the same thing.
For the first time, each one had seen others' sufferings and they were glad their bag was not as big as those around them. Also, each person had become used to his own sufferings. Nobody wanted to risk taking somebody else's unknown sufferings instead of their own known ones!
The man suddenly woke up and prayed to God. 'Thank you for opening my eyes! I know what I have is what is necessary for me. That is why you have given my circumstances to me!'
