Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the common grievance regarding why a benevolent and omnipotent God does not intervene to prevent terrible crimes like rape, murder, or lynching. He explains that the truth is always at one's service, but people receive what they seek; a rapist seeks flesh and gets it, while a murderer seeks revenge and gets it. He clarifies that godliness provides no guarantee against physical suffering or violent death, as evidenced by the lives of many spiritual figures and the crucifixion of Shri Christ. However, for a truly godly person, such external events mean nothing because they have attained a state of immortality and inner peace that transcends physical circumstances.
