Gadhada Last Section Vach. 13 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

That God is the controller of this body. If it is His will, He will give a person the honour of riding on an elephant; if it His will, He will imprison the person; and if He wishes, He will inflict that person with a serious illness. We must never pray to God, ‘Oh Maharaj! Eliminate the misery that I am facing.’ Why? The reason is that we want this body to behave in accordance with the will of God. We like whatever God likes. We do not want there to be even a slight difference between what we like and what God likes. When we have dedicated our body, mind and wealth to God, the will of God then becomes our destiny; no other destiny apart from that is valid for us. Therefore, regardless of the kinds of pleasures and pains that are encountered due to the will of God, we must never become distressed. We should remain contented about remaining in the manner which pleases God.” In this way, using His own pretext, Shreejimaharaj explained the kind of understanding that should exist in an extremely staunch disciple of God, and the kind of firm affection that should be developed for God.
