Q: When an individual is suffering from his childhood – what can be the reasons behind it, and how and when these difficulties will come to an end?
ALOKDA: A very good question. To understand this we have to understand the field and the knower of the field. The field is the whole gamut and play of forces that comprises the world existence, more specifically the earth nature into which the soul enters. This rendezvous of soul and nature is a win-win situation for both if we see it in the larger perspective for each time nature comes in contact with the soul it receives an impetus to progress and evolve towards Light and Beauty. As to the soul it feels the burden of nature as a load but as it passes from life to life the soul grows stronger until one day it becomes her Lord.
In the first few lives the soul is like a slave held captive to Nature as in a prison. But as it grows it becomes more and more its master and lord. In the first few lives the soul is as if dragged helplessly by the forces of nature. During this phase when the soul is developing out of its infancy towards adulthood it may try unusual things such as take a leap cutting through layers of darkness and even go through a hell of outer suffering to hasten the purifying ordeal. Finally, it is out of the dense dark fields and enters a quieter zone, progressively moving towards freedom away from the school of ignorance and the law of suffering.
