Our material body is at the origin of all our suffering.
We are all, in truth, immortal, eternal spiritual souls, and not the dense material body in which we are incarnated, and to which we mistakenly identify.
The spiritual soul that each of us really is, is unborn, immortal, eternal, original and unchanging. It is imperishable, indestructible and without measure. It does not kill, nor can it be killed. It is not born, does not die, has never had a beginning, and will never have an end. It does not die with the body. No weapon can crack, pierce or kill it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, nor can the wind dry it out. It is indivisible and insoluble. Omnipresent, unalterable and fixed. It is not possible to hurt her, and therefore nothing can make her suffer.
In that case, you ask me, why do we suffer?
Because of the guilty acts committed during his last incarnations, and the consequences of his karma, the soul was forced to incarnate, and therefore to put on a material bodily envelope. It is because it must clothe a body of dense matter that it is born. The soul is at the origin of the existence of the material body. It has no past, present or future, nor does it age like the body. Body changes do not affect it. It is through it that the body can develop and remain alive.
The soul is always fully conscious and full of knowledge. Now, consciousness is the perceptible manifestation of the soul, and the energy of the soul. The soul manifests its omnipresence by spreading its consciousness throughout the body, and it is therefore thanks to the latter that it perceives all bodily anomalies, feels all contacts such as touching, stings, inflammations, various wounds, etc., and therefore the resulting suffering. Consciousness is the proof of the existence of the soul in the body.
The sufferings that the incarnate soul experiences actually come from the bodily anomalies mentioned above. It is because she wrongly identifies with her body that she makes her own the pains expressed by the latter. It is the body that expresses all bodily anomalies in order to provide the necessary care, so it is the body that suffers, not the soul.
The sufferings of the incarnate soul conditioned by the material nature and the energy of illusion are only superficial, they have no intrinsic reality. All who live according to God’s teaching abandon the erroneous bodily conception of existence, according to which the soul suffers from the evils inflicted by matter, the body of dense matter.
The origin of all the sufferings of the soul is indeed the body of dense matter in which it was incarnated, the body that covers it. The sufferings that the soul feels are those of the body, not its own, since it does not suffer.
To put an end to our suffering, it is enough to abandon ourselves to God and live according to his teaching. Let us leave our material body, as well as this world of suffering, and return to the spiritual world, this is God’s wish for us, so let us listen to him.
