Seminar on “Suffering is the Root and Results are Flowers”
1. Sri. B.Narasimhulu
Dear brothers and Sisters,
We must be wondering why there should be suffering when we have come from the center (Ultimate Reality) where bliss rains supreme. God is bliss. He is happiness. He is love.
Hence man is essentially of the nature of bliss, perfection, peace and freedom. Man is made in the image of God. Therefore godliness is the essence of his real inner being. The loss of his awareness of that oneness with the Infinite, All Perfect source of his being is the very cause of his involvement in this earthly process called life, which is full of defects and imperfections.
Besides, if God is love, why is there so much misery, so much violence, so much criminality, so much of everything, disease, warfare? Babuji said “ because they are not in the presence of God. So when we remove ourselves away from His presence and go farther and farther, it is impossible to feel the affinity of the lord. We will be away from the unceasing proximity to Him. All the divine virtues of the lord are lost to us”.
The reason why we are getting so hopelessly scorched and burnt by the world’s heat why everywhere we see nothing but the naked dance of destitution, fear, sorrow and destruction is that we see the world as void of God. Wherever God is imagined to be non-existent, it is there that destitution, fear, sorrow and destruction come marching along with all their terrible troops and establish their camp. We cannot get out of the ring of these enemies, unless knowing God to be present everywhere,
