We have to understand that the Goal of Life is Self-Actulisation and that everything happens for the best.
All is best
Though we oft doubt
Of the unsearchable dispose
Of Highest Wisdom brings about ! ( Milton )
There is a story regarding this principle.
Once there was a king and a minister. The minister was full of Wisdom and used to say that all is best. Once the King lost his finger, when he was cutting fruits with a knife. The minister then said all is best. The King was infurious and put the minister in jail.
The King went out for hunting. Some aborigines caught him and they were about to sacrifice him before their Deity. Then they noted that he was fingerless. They let him go, saying that it is against their rule to sacrifice a fingerless man.
The King thought about what the minister said. He went to his kingdom and let the minister out of jail.
The minister then told him that it was good that he was jailed. If not, he would have gone with the King for hunting and he would have been sacrificed.
Both the King and the minister became renunciants later on and attained to Self Actulisation !
All is best !
