Re: Respect of Women

I asked you this question earlier:
to which you answered …
Please hear my story and tell me what you make of it …
There was a vizier who advised a very short termpered king. The king loved to go on the hunt for game animals with his knights. But one day he fell ill and told his vizier about his illness and that he was too ill to go hunting with his knights. The vizier said don’t be sad may be it is a blessing that you are ill … the king became so angry that he locked the vizier up in the jail. And then reclined to his room and shut his door.
In the meantime the knights were out and a vicious wild beast attacked them and killed all but one who it injured. The injured knight came back to the castle and the wild beast followed him. The wild beast killed all the people in castle and the injured knight and went away without killing the king who was sick in bed behind a locked door and the vizier who was locked away in prison.
After a day the king awoke perfectly well and walked out and saw that all had been killed. He checked his whole castle but only found the vizier alive. He asked the vizier and the vizier said that he heard one of the knight warn about a crazy beast on the loose. The king realised that the vizier was correct the illness was a blessing for him and indeed locking up the vizier in the prison was a blessing for him too.
The moral of the story is that suffering and not getting what you want is not always a bad thing … it may a blessing in disguise.
Do you think this concept is compatible with karma? If so … is going to prison a result of good or bad karma?
