God allows pain...........

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen...


A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."


"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?


If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.


Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."


"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."


If you think God exists, send this to other people---
If you think God does not exist, delete it!

Thank u ...yaha i know but not able to trace the problem


Thanks for sharing this wonderful story, Vandana Ji.

It's a feeing - the existence of God - that is almost impossible to describe or explain to others. Some live without it - one of my closest relatives does that.

And the whole thing is very confusing. At times I feel I'm a true believer. Still at other times I feel like Mr. Chetan Bhagat - an agnostic.

But I'm not comfortable with the idea of being an atheist. May be I'm weak and have too many things that I just cannot afford to lose.

Anyway, I find myself, as I would like myself to be, only when I wear the shoes of a devotee.

Sourav ji its true that you cannot explain the existence of GOD it is faith and beleives that proves GOD's existence... when you dont like being atheist that means you are beleiver....Sometimes it happens to that we are in confused state and dont know but we still have  strong beleive that GOD is there....Once you beleive that GOD is there you are in the shoes of a devotee

Very True Adityaji, instead of following the religous blindly, all should beleive and pray to GOD ...Prayers are answered very fast. But people follow rituals with blind faith and then say GOD is not answering or listening.


Thank  you very much for your sharing:)

very very good...one...
