You must realize the logic of the necessity of misery in this world. Without misery the world will bore you with continuous happiness like a cinema without tragic scenes and like sweet meals without any hot dish. In KrutaYuga, God created only happiness. The continuous happiness bored the souls. The very boring process itself is misery. Thus, the birth of first misery is only from continuous happiness. In KrutaYuga, the justice in the form of cow was having all the four legs, which means all good deeds are only done due to predomination of Sattvam. Afterwards, since misery was required to avoid continuous happiness, the legs of the cow were broken gradually in the subsequent Yugas. This means that subsequently Rajas and Tamas predominated gradually. If you learn to enjoy the misery in the life, it is the philosophy of life. Such philosophy can be achieved if you realize the unreality of Maya with respect to yourself and matter. By the grace and the divine knowledge of Sadguru you can achieve such divine state of God. Sadguru is God in human form who came down to guide you by preaching this concept.
I believe that this sort of thinking is actually detrimental to the Spiritual Path. We are here in God's wonderful Creation only to find happiness and peace, not to find misery. There is no logic in the necessity of misery in this world. This is a misconception amongst people seeking Truth, that there cannot be any spiritual life without suffering. It is also a wrong thing to think that Jesus carried the cross because God willled it thus.
In the book "From India to the Truth" (of
www.sphatik.net), one finds the following words:
"But Jesus need not have suffered if not for the free will of man. For it was not willed by God that He should suffer. It was the result of our own free will, which Jesus Himself accepted, that He was murdered. Simply put – we murdered Him! ... God wills no suffering for anyone, not even for His own Envoy. Yet out of His Purest Love, His Son would not hesitate to accept suffering, even if it meant that only just one sinner could be saved. That is truly an infinite Love!"
Also, another misleading belief is that this period of Kali Yuga was by Divine design. Again from the book "From India to the Truth" of Sphatik.net website, we read on page 193:
"However, it is wrong to believe that the cycle of the Yugas repeats itself constantly as is propounded in certain quarters. It is expected by some schools of thought that after the next Satya Yuga has come to an end, there will again be a spiritual falling off which will bring about a Treta Yuga, followed by a Dvapara Yuga and eventually another Kali Yuga. This cycle of Yugas does not have to recur according to The Laws of Creation! It will not recur unless human beings endowed with their free will decide to go down the wrong path once again. The period of Satya Yuga can be extended for all eternity if only human beings keep to the Luminous Path and do not allow themselves to be deceived onto dark paths as hitherto. There need never be a sinking or falling away as long as we realise the value of our free will and put it to good use."
Here the key word is that we have our free will. We can choose whether or not to bring about a Kaliyug or a Satyug/Kritayug. This lies completely in our hands. We make the choice, it will not be pushed upon us. Today I can choose to live the rest of my life as God wills, and establish peace in my household or I can decide to be a tyrant and cause grief to my fellow human beings. One way will lead upwards to Satyug, the other downwards to Kaliyug.
I hope this made sense.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to post.
