Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest. (Matt 11:28)

First let me explain you the meaning of the above verse.
Mathew 11:28-30: The yoke of the Lord is light where as the yoke of human beings is heavy. This means that the work of the Lord will never give misery, as there is no selfishness. But the worldly work of the human beings becomes heavy due to selfishness that create anxiety and misery since one is attached to the fruit of the work.
Realised soul means that soul who is fully aware of the unreality of this world drama and worldly relations. This world is real but your relations are unreal. All your worldly relations do not exists before this birth and it will not exists after this birth also. Hence all are temporary. For this temporary bonds you are becoming distressed. The real existing bond is only with God who is the only real relation to you. All other things in the world are temporary, hence you need to only fulfil your duties to them without any attachment.
Realization is the stage of determination in the knowledge. The liberation is its practical consequence. The realization should be based on the right knowledge so that the liberation is really attained as the immediate consequence of the right knowledge. Suppose you are bound by a rope. Suppose you find a knife very near to you, which can be taken by your mouth and the rope can be cut. Such right knowledge gives you the liberation. The determination to use the knife leads to implementation and the fruit is liberation.
Suppose the knife has no sharpness. In such case the determination, implementation cannot give the result. Suppose the knife is just made of a piece of pad, then also no liberation is possible. Thus if the right knowledge is not intensive or if the knowledge is twisted and wrong no liberation is possible. Therefore the most important thing for liberation is not the realization only but it should be the right intensive knowledge given by the Satguru.
If you are ignorant and not a completely realized soul about the God, the divine help comes to you through unimaginable way so that you will recognize God without any doubt. If the help from God comes to you in an imaginable way, you will not recognize the divine help and God in that incident. Suppose you are getting the monthly salary after doing the job in a month. You will think that the salary is the fruit of your work which is a natural way of getting the fruit. But suppose you have not done work in a month and some body not known to you comes suddenly and donates the exact amount of the salary to you and goes away.
Then you will recognize God?s help through that unknown person. Therefore, for ignorant people difficulties are necessary to recognize God, because only difficulties can accommodate the unimaginable events as proof for God, since they do not treat the imaginable events as works of God.
Hence, Jesus told ?Blessed are those who believe Me without proof?. Here proof means a miracle which is the unimaginable event. Therefore, proof always needs troubles for you. When you want proof from God, He will wait till you get problems according to your cycle of deeds. For the sake of giving proof, God will not create troubles. When the difficulties come, then He will help you through unimaginable way so that you will recognize God and get yourself uplifted. Therefore, the miracles which are unimaginable are needed for ignorant people only who are almost atheists. But certain rigid atheists treat even this unimaginable incident as imaginable only. Such atheist thinks that the person who gave that amount must have been mad and the exact amount of salary is just a co-incidence.
