Why did God create a world which gives me misery in the first place?

[Ms Bhanu Samaikya asked: Pādanamaskāram Swami, In miserable situations, I can see You helping me in all ways possible and I understand that God is the only real saviour and it feels so sweet. But, immediately I get this opposing poisonous thought of why did God create such a world which gives me misery in the first place. Why God should create me, let me suffer for my mistakes done by my free will and then save and reform me? Is this some kind of a play for Him when I'm so serious about my life? I deeply regret for entertaining these poisonous thoughts frequently even after knowing that my goal is to love God and serve God. It is definitely due to my misunderstanding and ego only. Swami, please help me overcome this.]

Swami Replied:- Everything is created by the soul only that gives happiness or misery or even divine bliss. God has given freedom to all the souls to choose the direction and meet the result of the goal. If your direction is God, you will meet bliss. If your direction is justice in the world, you will meet happiness. If your direction is injustice of the world associated with ego and rigidity, you will meet misery. The direction selected by you is done by your analysis of intelligence. The soul is the owner and the intelligence doing analysis to arrive at the decision is your driver of your self-car. Always you shall verify your decision with the elders called Gurus so that you can be sure that your driver is properly trained. You should never implement your decision with rigidity without verification of it with Sadguru, who is the best among Gurus.
