It is very important. "I thought in that way. When my mother died, as the devotees of the Lord think, I also thought in that way. What is that? 'Oh, it is a grace of the Lord. My mother is now dead.' Because she is the, I mean to say, real cause of my nonfreedom. So she is now dead. Then I am free."
It is very contradiction from the materialistic point of view. It is said that bhaktanam śam abhīpsataḥ (SB 1.6.10). "As the devotees think, so I also in that way thought." What is that? Anugrahaṁ manyamānaḥ: "I thought it a special grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Anugrahaṁ manyamānaḥ pratiṣṭhāṁ disam uttaram (SB 1.6.10): "And I at once took leave of my so-called home and went away." So that is the difference between the devotees of the Lord and materialistic person.
When their materialistic relationship, comforts, are taken away, they think, "Oh, it is all grace." And the materialistic person, when their materialistic comforts are increased, they think, "It is grace." Yā niśā sarva-bhūtānāṁ tasyāṁ jāgarti saṁ . . . (BG 2.69). That is also stated in the Bhagavad-gītā. Just like . . . there is a crude example—I think I have cited this example many times—that a foolish patient thinks that increase of fever is very nice. Fever, so what should be the ideal? Fever should decrease. But those who are less intelligent, they think, "Yes, it must increase."
