Why is there pain on the Spiritual Path


You know it’s there for a purpose. See many people come to the path because they have some pain but not all. Some people come to the path out of curiosity. Some come seeking knowledge. 

Quite a bit of the population wants relief from pain so they come to the path. And then they are on the path and realise, 'Wow! Life is much more than I thought it was'. Do you see what I’m saying? It opens new doors.


Mediation and all these courses and satsangs and everything we do is reducing pain and suffering in the world. We are already doing that.


You want me to with a magic wand remove everybody’s pain then it is not fair. They have to do something in their life to clean up, yes. There is purpose.
