AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Why are people so much bothered about others?

Asked by 18 year old Girl

Q1. Is human suffering viewed by the Divine as ultimately illusionary and mainly evolutionary or corrective in nature? The mind, life, and body seem to suffer, while the psychic being assimilates experience for growth — as in Savitri, where the soul “drinks experience like a strengthening wine.” Is this broadly correct? 😊🙏🏻🌼🍂

Yes in a way. But that does not mean that the Divine is indifferent to our suffering. He knows it, knows its true cause and is offering the real cure. It is like a physician who empathises even when he gives a…
