Suffering
Why do we have
to pass through sad experiences such as suffering and
sorrow?
Why do we experience suffering? In this world, we are
always consciously or unconsciously making mistakes.
When we consciously make mistakes, we are quite aware
of it. But unfortunately, we do not realize how many
things we are doing wrong unconsciously. These unconscious
mistakes manifest themselves in the physical world,
and the results come to us as suffering. In the case
of ordinary, unaspiring human beings, after tremendous
suffering, sincerity dawns and the soul leads them to
knowledge and wisdom. If people who repeatedly make
mistakes have sincere aspiration and want to know why
they are suffering, then the soul's Light comes to the
fore and tells them. If we are spiritual people, consciously
we will try not to do anything wrong, but unconsciously
we do many things wrong. We can prevent unconscious
mistakes only through our aspiration, prayer and meditation.
If we aspire, then God's grace and compassion protect
us.
It is not necessary to go through suffering before we
enter into the kingdom of delight. Many people have
realized God through love. The Father has love for the
child and the child has love for the Father. This love
takes us to our goal. Our philosophy emphasizes the
positive way of approaching Truth. We have limited light.
Let us increase it. Let us progress from more Light
to abundant Light to infinite Light.
The highest discovery is this: We came from delight,
we grow in delight and at the end of our journey's close,
we retire into delight. Delight is now in the inner
world, while the outer world is all suffering. We see
people quarreling and fighting. Fear, doubt, anger,
jealousy and other undivine elements torture us. But
when we go deep within, on the strength of our highest
meditation, we discover that delight was our origin,
our Source. We see that in delight we play the Cosmic
Game and at the end of the Cosmic Game, we again retire
into delight.
