I asked for misery from God

[dattaswami]

I asked for misery from God

Kunti ( a female devotee) asked the Lord for difficulties so that her devotion to God improves more and more.  She was the first soul to recognize the difficulties as the real preachers of devotion to God.  The second soul was myself who asked God for creating problems.  You know I did long prayers to Lord Shiva to grant difficulties so that the divine knowledge and devotion improve more.  God was astonished in these two cases since no soul requested God for difficulties so far after the creation!  As a soul, My devotion to God improved tremendously during the difficulties.  As God I enjoyed the difficulties in this world, which are not at all possible in the upper world. You can take Me in whatever way you like.
