Lord Buddha was aghast at the pain and suffering of this world. He turned his ire on the Lord and asked an important questions. How can the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate create such a miserable world ?
How can it be that Brahm
Could make a world so miserable
And if All Powerful, leave it so; He is not good
And if not All-powerful, He is not God !
Aurobindo answered
"A universe, eternally perfect, eternally manifesting the eternal perfection, will miss the joy of progress".
If everything is perfect, Man, Earth, everything and was created as such initially, will we not miss the joy of progress? So then there were reasons why the Almighty created such an area of Evil & Chaos, deliberately flawing the perfection of His own material creation !
