Question: If one has been in a situation which was surcharged with contempt, which filled one with anger, and which one could not overcome, is there a reason why someone would be put into that same situation? Would this be some kind of a test?
Answer by Romapada Swami: If one is a devotee, then such a situation can be seen as a test, or as a way for Krishna to glorify His devotee, like Prahlad Maharaja. Otherwise, such a situation is but the fruit of one’s past misdeeds.
