How can God allow such tragedies?

[Guest guest]

There is a different perspective you can use to look

at sufferng. According to Advaita Philosophy, all

pleasures and pains relate only to body and mind and

we are not the body or the mind. The soul is beyond

pain and pleasures. In Bhagvadgeetha , Krishna says:

No weapon can hurt the self; neither fire nor water

can destroy it. Pure happiness comes only when we

realize our true nature and until then, we will have

both pains and pleasures. We need to face both with

equanimity, but it is easier said than done; it does

not mean that we should not try to practice it.

Om Namah Sivaya

 

Sri Ramakrishna’s saying: “Water poured into an empty

vessel makes a bubbling noise, but when the vessel is

full, no sound is heard. Similarly, the man who has

not found God is full of vain disputation about His

existence and nature. But he who has seen Him,

silently enjoys the bliss Divine.”

" So long as the bee is outside the petals of the

flower and has not tasted the sweetness of the nectar

within, it hovers round humming; but when it gets into

flower, it drinks the nector noiselessly. So long as a

man disputes about doctrines and dogmas, he has not

tasted the nectar of true faith. Once he tastes that,

he becomes silent. "

 

Tirumantiram: verse 762

Treasure Within is Imperisable

They who do not see the Treature that surpasses all,

But seek the treature that perishes,

If within their melting heart they seek inside

They will see the Treasure that dies not.

(Seek the treasure within. It is imperishable. If you

but seek, you can attain the imperishable Siva state)

 

Tirumantiram: verse 143

Dust Into Dust- That is Body's Way

At first it was clay, then it divided into two,

It was keeping well when evil entered,

Even as clear water falling from the skies,

Mixed with the mud becomes muddy,

Men degenerated and become subject to birth and death.

(The body of motal clay is driven by twain Karmas,

good and bad. When the rains pour incessantly the mud

pot turns to mud again. So, too death brings

destruction; and when the body-roof in time caves in,

neither wife or children accompany it. Only the

austerities and knowledge the man acquired go with

him).

 

Sri Ramakrishnaya Namah
