Why Suffering? - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 17 min

Why suffering exists if there is a God, framed as a riddle solved not by the left brain but by Raja Yoga work. Einstein's maxim that no problem is solved on its own level leads into NLP chunking down to specifics and up to the macro view, with Hafiz and Plato's cave pointing to meditation's expansion.
