About this listen
Why God permits suffering is answered here in Why God Permits Evil and How to Rise Above It.
The sage words of spiritual teacher Paramahansa Yogananda provide strength and solace for times of adversity by explaining the mysteries of God's divine drama.
For centuries, philosophers and religious scholars worldwide have sought to answer the question of why a loving God would allow the world sorrows and tragedies.
Here, listeners will come to understand the reason for the dualistic nature of creation, inspired insights on this back-and-forth between good and evil, and receive guidance on how to rise above even the most challenging circumstances.

Story
I have tried to show in this audiobook that as God is one, necessary for all of us, so religion is one, necessary and universal. Only the roads to it may differ in some respects at the beginning. As a matter of fact, it is ludicrous to say that there are two religions, when there is but one God. There may be two denominations or sects, but there is only one religion. What we now call different religions should be known as different denominations or sects under that one universal religion.

Spiritual Power of Man's Word Man's word is Spirit in man. Words are sounds occasioned by the vibrations of thoughts. Thoughts are vibrations sent forth by the Ego or Soul. Every word that leaves your mouth ought to be potent with your genuine soul vibration. Words in most people are lifeless because they are automatically put forth into the ether, without being impregnated with soul force. Too much talking, exaggeration or falsehood used in connection with words is just like shooting bullets out of a toy gun, without the gun powder.

Here Osho deals with the difference between the intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit or intuition. Mind knows reality through logic while intuition is how the spirit experiences reality. Osho describes the three different levels of the ladder of consciousness: the lowest and the first is instinct; the second, the middle, is intellect; and the third, the highest and most subtle, intuition.
