Story:Suffering and God's Existence

A man went to barber to get his hair cut. The barber and the man got into a discussion about the existence of God. The barber argued that there is no God, because there is so much pain and suffering in the world. The man tried to tell him that there is a God, that is loving and forgiving and everything good, but barber would not hear it, still he stuck to his belief that there is no God. The man dropped it, and plus (Swamiji said) you don't want to argue with a barber that is cutting your hair. When this man left the barber he saw a man with long, dirty, matted, shabby hair, and he brought this man to the barber. He said to the barber, "you know there are no barbers in the world" and the barber said : "what are you talking about i'm right here i'm a barber." The man kept on" no, there are absolutely no barbers in the world" and the barber said, "that is not true I AM A BARBER and I am standing right here..." So the man went and got the person with shabby hair and said "look if any barbers existed, this man would not have this shabby, dirty hair!!" And he proved his point to the barber that just because this man doesn't actually go to the barber doesn't mean that barbers do not exist. Similarly just because we don't seek God, doesn't mean he does not exist.
