There are some people in this world who say, "All my life I had bad luck. The bad luck was that never in my life my wish was granted." They can very easily imagine that a spirit was against them, or God was against them, or the stars, or that something was keeping back their wish. But it is not always so.

• In the first place God wishes the same that we wish; if God wished differently from our wish we could not worship that God who was always against us. It is not so!
• Besides, there is no benefit in opposing the wish of man; to God there is no advantage in doing so. No doubt there are planetary reasons, reasons of the universe at work, reasons of the cosmos that oppose the wish. As it is said, "Man proposes, God disposes." The name "God" is put in the place of the cosmic forces, but God with His mercy and compassion never has a desire to oppose anyone's wish.
• God apart, a good-hearted man would never like to oppose anybody's wish; he would do everything possible to make anybody's wish complete, to make a person's wish come true. A kindly person would do it.
