Bad things happen to good people and that too to devotees why .. arre Why????

We often hear this..
why did this bad things happen to good people??
Well for normal good people (thats the way i call pious people) , we link it to their Karma..
"its their Karma you see.. " and devotees can give their own purport and sometimes they can defeat each other the way they refer to Srila Prabhupada.. we will leave this for discussion for a later day :)
but we sometimes are perplexed.. let me put it i sometimes get perplexed as to why bad things happen to devotees and that too to Pure devotees..
Got a wonderful purport by Srila Prabhupada in SB 3.16.37. Yes its in the chapter dealing with "Jaya and Vijaya Cursed by the Sages"
When something is arranged by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one should not be disturbed by it, even if it appears to be a reverse according to one's calculations. For example, sometimes we see that a powerful preacher is killed, or sometimes he is put into difficulty, just as Haridasa Thakura was. He was a great devotee who came into this material world to execute the will of the Lord by preaching the Lord's glories. But Haridasa was punished at the hands of the Kazi by being beaten in twenty-two marketplaces.Similarly, Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, and Prahlada Maharaja was put through so many tribulations. The Pandavas, who were direct friends of Krsna, lost their kingdom, their wife was insulted, and they had to undergo many severe tribulations. Seeing all these reverses affect devotees, one should not be disturbed; one should simply understand that in these matters there must be some plan of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Bhagavatam's conclusion is that a devotee is never disturbed by such reverses. He accepts even reverse conditions as the grace of the Lord. One who continues to serve the Lord even in reverse conditions is assured that he will go back to Godhead, back to the Vaikuntha planets.
Hope you had the patience to go through the total stuff and didn't skip it.
