[Question raised in internet discussion forum through Shri Anil]
[Being a very powerful God, Lord Śiva Himself suffered a lot when His beloved wife Satī passed away. Does Śiva's life justify Buddha's teaching that "One who has born, can't avoid suffering"?]
Swāmi Replied:- There is again a lot of deep analysis about this story of God Śiva and Satī. Satī knows that Śiva is God. Śiva objected Satī from going to her father’s house. Satī refused God and went to her father’s house. Shall a devotee not hear the word of God? Of course, in this incident, the climax devotion of Satī towards God Śiva is expressed because she committed suicide on hearing abuses of God Śiva. There may be suffering, but, there is lot of preaching for humanity. The stories of God are always for preaching the humanity only.
