Hello friends,

 

I have a small question and I would really appreciate if someone

could help me out with it.

 

I understand that we are bound by maya and are ignorant. I

constantly feel the need to extricate myself from this bondage. But

my question is why did we have to take birth in this world of maya.

If God is all powerful then he must have surely seen how people

would misuse the free will he has given to them and cause harm to

others and themselves. How can this world be a playground to him and

the workings of this world a game with so much evil/suffering in it.

First bonding us in maya and then requiring us to suffer through a

series of rebirths, before finally uniting with Him because it is a

game for Him doesn't sound like what a kind and merciful God would

do.

I know these views open up a lot of questions, some of which

probably have been already discussed on this group but my only doubt

is that I see I am suffering but I don't see a need of God to get

rid of this suffering. At present Bhuddhist ideology is making more

sense to me ( which seeks to end suffering without any belief in

God) but I find myself absolutely incapable of giving up the belief

in God, that I have grown up with and is so dear to me. I would

really appreciate if someone could show me the direction of where I

will find the right answer for this question. I also apologize if I

have offended someone with my views.
