There are many obstacles along the path of devotion. Difficulties are meant for cleansing the heart and rendering it clean and pure. Some people accuse, criticise and scorn or condemn God when they are going through difficulties. Each one has to face the consequences of their own actions. God remains unaffected. God is pure, unsullied and sacred. Let people say anything, be cool and calm. Do not enter into unnecessary arguments with anyone. Arguments breeds only enmity. Always speak softly and sweetly with a smiling face. That will silence the critics. Smile is the best answer to criticism. When Paul went on accusing Jesus, He lovingly went up to him and gave a pleasing smile. The sweetness in the nectarous smile of Jesus transformed the poisonous heart of Paul. Hence, be always cheerful, even in times of adversities. Always put up a smiling face, never walk around with a ‘castor-oil face’. Happiness lies only in union with God.
