Ranchhod Bhakta said, “When adverse conditions of place and time arise, then God is not remembered and worries arise. So, how should we understand that?” Swami replied, “God is the all-doer. In adverse place and time nobody ever remembers God. But do not become attached to this world. If one develops detachment from the world, one will not become attached. For this reason, God has kept us in misery (so that we develop detachment). Therefore, understand God to be the all-doer.” In this way, he talked a lot about adverse conditions of place and time.
