Why doesn’t He directly make everything good from the beginning rather than taking the world through Yugas, Avatars, where there is extreme suffering? You said that Rama & Sita parting is a Divine & Material Nature parting because of doubts in human mind, but same doubt were there & are there in human mind but Sri Aurobindo & the Mother managed to do things then why couldn’t Sri Rama & Sita do it, did God deliberately postponed Spiritual Evolution for later time, that he might come later in a later Avatar & play His famed, weird & apparently bad Lila..?
Spiritual evolution, for that matter, all evolution upon earth is based on and conditioned by matter, which is not easily responsive to the spiritual energy. There are, of course, worlds where, as you say, there is no effort and struggle. Man, when he evolves beyond a point, does have the choice to rest or dwell there forever. Or else, even quit the game completely. But that kind of creation is a very limited one. It is typical and static with no scope of improving upon itself. The material world, on the other hand, is very challenging but with immense possibilities. Hence the number of Avatars, sages and saints, heroes and martyrs and saviours. But these pioneers do it gladly despite taking the largest share of the burden because they feel it is worthwhile and out of immense love and compassion. Thanks to all these efforts, we have come a long long way from the original brute to the present rational creature with some spiritual seeking and even occasional glimpses. The spiritual is fairly close now, as evident from many things. It is this that will change the ways of mankind and its tendency towards evil by changing the psychological atmosphere of the earth. It is just as man’s coming changed earthly life, so too will it be by the coming of the spiritualised humanity that will deal with earth and life very differently.
