" In a sense misery is your best friend, because it commences, you seeking God. When you begin to see clearly the imperfections of the world, you will begin to seek the Perfection of God.
The truth is that God is using evil, not to destroy us, but to make us disillusioned with His toys, with the playthings of this world, so that we might seek Him.
Trouble and sorrow have a lesson for us. Our painful experiences are not meant to break us, but to burn out our dross, to hurry us back Home.
No one is more anxious for our release than God."

Hi Krishna :)
A very interesting philosophical perspective on the hidden nature of things.
Namaste, peace and salaam to you

Dear Krishna,
I was just reading one of Paramahansa Yogananda's books and in it he says something that's from a slightly different perspective, but nevertheless relevant to what you posted above. So, here's what he says,
"To God, this colossal cosmos is a hobby only. His true children must not take the earthly drama to heart; it is only a temporary activity! Being potential gods, all human beings--no matter how long bound to rebirths through the ever-winding chain of evil karma--will sometime have to make conscious efforts to achieve liberation. So although cosmic delusion holds the majority of human beings in its fetters of physical attachments, desires, misery, and death, now and then the few who try hard do escape!"
God bless.
