Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Sri Ramana Maharshi while replying to certain questions of Swami Yogananda has pointed out that suffering is inevitable on the spiritual path: Yogananda : Why does God permit suffering in the world ? Should He not with His omnipotence do away with it at one stroke and ordain the universal realisation of God ? Maharshi : Suffering is the way for Realisation of God. Yogananda : Should He not ordain differently ? Maharshi : It is the way. Yogananda : Are yoga , religion , etc ., antidotes to suffering ? Maharshi : They help you to overcome suffering. Yogananda : Why should there be suffering ? Maharshi : Who suffers ? What is suffering ? ( There was no reply from Swami Yogananda) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
