Generally the distressed, the needy, the intelligent and the inquisitive persons who have some pious activities behind, do worship or begin to worship the Lord. Others who are thriving on misdeeds only never mind whatsoever one may be, cannot approach the Supreme on account of being misled by the illusory energy. Therefore, for a pious person if there is some calamity there is no other alternative than to take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord. Constantly remembring the Lotus feet of the Lord means preparing the way of not experiencing repetition of birth and death. Therefore, even though there are so called calamities they are welcome because that give us opportunity to remember the Lord which means no more repetition of birth and death.
One who has taken the shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord which are accepted as the most suitable boat for crossing over the ocean of nescience, can do so as easily as one leaps over the hole made by the hoops of a calf. Such persons are meant for residing in the abode of the Lord and they have nothing to do with a place where there is danger in every step.
#$p#This material world is certified by the Lord in the Bhagwat Geeta as the dangerous place full of calamities. Less intelligent persons prepare plans for adjusting those calamities without knowing that the nature of this place is itself full of calamities. They have no information of the abode of the Lord which is full of bliss without any trace of calamity. The duty of the same person is therefore not to be disturbed by the worldly calamities which are sure to happen in all circumstances, but suffering all sorts of unavoidable calamities one should make progress in the matter of spiritual realisation because that is the end of the mission of human life. The spirit soul is transcendental to all material calamities and therefore the so called calamities are sometimes said as false exactly in the sense that a man sees a tiger swallowing him in dream and crying for this calamity. Actually there is no tiger and there is no suffering but it is simply a case of hallucination to the suffering men. In the same way all calamities of our life are as to say hallucination of a sleeping man but in exchange of such hallicinative phenomenon if somebody is lucky to get contact of the Lord by devotional service it is all the tangible gain in life. Because contact of the Lord by anyone of the nine devotional devices, is always a forward step on the path of going back to Godhead.

Teachings of Queen Kuntī, 8 Let There Be Calamities
#$p#Generally the distressed, the needy, the intelligent and the inquisitive, who have performed some pious activities, worship or begin to worship the Lord. Others, who are thriving on misdeeds only, regardless of status, cannot approach the Supreme due to being misled by the illusory energy. Therefore, for a pious person, if there is some calamity there is no other alternative than to take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord. Constantly remembering the lotus feet of the Lord means preparing for liberation from birth and death. Therefore, even though there are so-called calamities, they are welcome because they give us an opportunity to remember the Lord, which means liberation.
#$p#One who has taken shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord, which are accepted as the most suitable boat for crossing the ocean of nescience, can achieve liberation as easily as one leaps over the holes made by the hoofs of a calf. Such persons are meant to reside in the abode of the Lord, and they have nothing to do with a place where there is danger in every step.
#$p#This material world is certified by the Lord in the #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i# as a dangerous place full of calamities. Less intelligent persons prepare plans to adjust to those calamities without knowing that the nature of this place is itself full of calamities. They have no information of the abode of the Lord, which is full of bliss and without trace of calamity. The duty of the sane person, therefore, is to be undisturbed by worldly calamities, which are sure to happen in all circumstances. Suffering all sorts of unavoidable misfortunes, one should make progress in spiritual realization because that is the mission of human life. The spirit soul is transcendental to all material calamities; therefore, the so-called calamities are called false. A man may see a tiger swallowing him in a dream, and he may cry for this calamity. Actually there is no tiger and there is no suffering; it is simply a case of dreams. In the same way, all calamities of life are said to be dreams. If someone is lucky enough to get in contact with the Lord by devotional service, it is all gain. Contact with the Lord by any one of the nine devotional services is always a forward step on the path going back to Godhead.
