—manohar, India
Dear Manohar,
This is not really a question but the condition of life for all of us who are seeking love and happiness. We find that the world does not really give this to us and find that only by tuning into God can we have bliss.
Swami Kriyananda talks a great deal about karma and how it affects our current lives. What you are describing seems to be coming from your past karma, conditions you created in past lives. Only through following a guru, such as Paramhansa Yogananda, and through strongly following a spiritual path, can you finally burn up that old karma.
Until you do find your spiritual path and your guru, keep a strong affirmation of being loving and joyful to all. See the Divine in each person (and in yourself) so that no matter what happens to you, you will affirm that all comes from the Divine. See Him directing your life. Be kind to all you meet while conversing with God in your heart. You can only succeed in the end.
Joy to you,
Seva
