Punishment can be a blessing

Punishment is a blessing

Whenever paramAtma gives punishment, if one still thinks of it with devotion as a blessing (to improve) then only good accrues. There too, if one were to hate paramAtma, the same punishment leads to andhantamas (Eternal darkness).

Greatness of Anu Bhashya – I

The founder of every school of Vedantic philosophy has, naturally, interpreted the brahmasutras to show that it conveys the meaning as propounded by their own school of thought. Prior to the bhashya, or commentary, of Shri Madhwacharya, there were at least 21 main interpretations of the brahmasutras already in vogue. Needless to say, each of those commentaries had superimposed their own philosophy on to the sutras, leading to their distortion and misinterpretation.
