Why does God snatch something that we hold so dear to us? How can I understand God?🙄

God does not snatch anything nor does He want to play a spoilsport and make us unhappy. Suffering comes to everyone because we do not know the right way to live. We are attached to things and people which by their nature do not last or even if they remain, the joy we get from them passes away. This is the fate of all earthly life until we turn away from transient joys and seek lasting truths and permanent source of joy. Pain and suffering invariably come to remind us that the joys we are experiencing is limited and imperfect. This is meant to spur us to seek the Permanent. Indeed suffering comes to open an inner door for us and if we use the moment and the opportunity then we can discover the permanent Source and Joy within us.

One should not worry about others at all. Each person and each creature follows his own law and way of being. A snake does not stop releasing poison because it is biting a good person. It is its nature. So too the cow does not …

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother often refer to the Bible, so is Christ considered an Avatar like Krishna? If so, why doesn’t He speak of Rebirth? Many sincere Christians believe Christ is the sole path to salvation attainable in just one lifetime. ✝️🦚😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

The stories recounted in the Scriptures are generally symbolic. Most interpreters take them literally and then convert it into irrefutable dogmas that are based on personal beliefs. But while beliefs may be comforting they …
