Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 D. If God is all, why does the individual suffer for his actions? Are not the actions prompted by Him ,for which the individual is made to suffer? M. He who thinks he is the doer is also the sufferer. D. But the actions are prompted by God and the individual is only His tool. M. This logic is applied only when one suffers, but not when one rejoices. If the conviction prevails always, there will be no suffering, either. D. When will the suffering cease? M. Not until individuality is lost. If both the good and bad actions are His , why should you think that the enjoyment and suffering are yours alone ? He who does good or bad also enjoys pleasure or suffers pain. Leave it there and do not superimpose suffering on yourself. ----------- taken from ------------------------------ Talks with Ramana Maharshi , InnerDirections Publishing , 2000 page 317 ----------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
