Bhagawan lovingly explains that God takes many actions to protect His devotees. Devotees unable to understand God's inner perspective may see these actions as giving unnecessary difficulties. God has inner vision and always cares for people's well-being. Like a mother correcting her son with affection even after caring for him, God may punish devotees when needed out of love, not a desire to punish. We should see both happiness and sorrow as gifts from God.

Why should we accept every happening to us as a gift of His Grace? Bhagawan
lovingly explains to us today.
In order to save His devotees, God takes many different actions in
several ways. Devotees, unable to recognise and understand the inner meaning of such actions, think that God is giving them unnecessary difficulties. People only have external vision. God has inner vision. Paramatma is always caring for the well-being of His people. Even if a son, who has been brought up with much care by the mother, makes a mistake, the mother will correct the son and punish if appropriate. When we see this, we feel that a mother who has brought up the son with such care, love, and tenderness is harsh in punishing the child; but the mother does so with affection. In the same mannerGod, the universal father, will punish His devotees, when needed, with love. Do not mistake it to be God desiring to punish people. God is always full of grace. - Summer Showers in Brindavan, 1976, Ch 3.
Sorrow and happiness should be treated alike as gifts of God. Baba
