Have you ever wondered why good things happen in a world filled with chaos? In this episode of Charis Daily, Daniel Bennett challenges the common question of why bad things occur, diving deeper into the surprising reasons behind the good in our lives.
There is nothing more direct and personal that we can do than repeat Kṛṣṇa's names. He is completely present, 100%. In fact, Rūpa Goswāmī says the name is better than Kṛṣṇa personally. And therefore, out of all the practices we do, this is the most direct. We have complete, full access to Kṛṣṇa just by his name. So, it's very personal. You can remember that the name and the named—Kṛṣṇa and his name—are non-different, and that it's a very personal process of repeating somebody's name. If you love somebody and you say their name, then you become immediately connected in consciousness. But because Kṛṣṇa is an absolute person, He makes his avatār in his name specifically to lift us up. And Rūpa Goswāmī and all the ācāryas say, "Out of all the practices we do, this is the most important." Feel free to give your whole heart and mind to the process. Nothing else is needed, just this chanting with sincerity. And one other mood is that we're all going through a lot because we're in a human experience, and we're very vulnerable and exposed from all sides. We can use that to our advantage by just admitting to Kṛṣṇa how we're suffering in the material world and how we need a shelter, because no one else can help us, only Kṛṣṇa. Just take exclusive shelter of Kṛṣṇa through his name and chant with your heart. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #japajolt #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #chantharekrishnaandbehapy #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
In 45 years of ministry, I don't believe anyone has ever asked me, "why do good things happen to bad people?" The Psalmist asked it this way, "Why do the wicked prosper?" Have you ever wondered that?

Why do the wicked seem to prosper while the righteous suffer? In Psalm 73, Asaph wrestles with this same tension—until worship gives him an eternal perspective where God's nearness is his true good.

Have you ever asked yourself why good things happen to bad people? Why does it seem like the wicked get to experience and enjoy money, rewards and prosperity while the righteous suffer and always seem to be enduring some sort of hardship or struggle? Many people believe that once you become a Christian, your life is perfect and everything always goes well with you. That is just simply not the reality! Check out this episode of THE INDOUBT SHOW with host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with pastor and author Jim Osman where they unpack the realities of life and how worldly prosperity that the wicked enjoy could be a part of their very judgement!

I used to believe that for every good thing that happened to me, something bad had to happen as well to even it out, like a universal balancing system. Every time something good was going to happen, I always thought to myself, “What will the payback be?” In my years of experience working with and talking to women, I have learned that lots of women live with this fear, often for a long time.Listen in as I talk about why we have this fear, acknowledge that you're not crazy for having it, and how to shift out of this kind of thinking so you can live your life with freedom instead of fear. In this episode I discuss:How fear keeps you from taking risks - and how this protects and hinders usHow negativity bias is a symptom of adrenal overloadThe role of the amygdala in fearHow your brain remembers threatsHow negative emotions get attached to positive emotionsWhat happens when we go into fight or flight modeWhat intuition really isHow to get out of this fearThe power of neuroplasticityThe importance of being aware of your feelingsHow to use cognitive disruption to shift from fear to freedomWhy I love taking deep breathsThe value of journalingHow to practice forgivenessLooking for supplements for yourself and your family, including some of those I talk about in episodes?

Instead of asking, “Why do these things always happen to me?” when bad things happen to you, try saying, “Such good things always happen to me!” Focus on the good that happens to you. Focusing on the bad will lead to missing opportunities when they come.Joy Of Life [Full version] by MusicLFilesFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/9825-joy-of-life-full-versionLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist website: https://cemmusicproject.wixsite.com/musiclibraryfiles
Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and today I want to talk about a couple of very cool stories from our latest book about miracles.

I love sharing these stories, and the other 99 in our new book, because they just go to show that miracles are happening around us all the time! Learn more about your ad choices.
