Opis

If there is an omnipresent,all-knowing,compassionate God,why is there so much suffering in this world?" First Chapter deals with Arun Shourie's personal struggle with such suffering:His son,now 34 years old has been suffering from Cerebral Palsy from infant hood.His wife is also a Parkinson's Disease patient.The chapter is heart-wrenching. Subsequent chapters analyze various Religions and the "rationalisations" these religions and their scriptures give for suffering.Shourie bursts such "rationalisations" with his characteristic analysis. Towards the end of the book,Shourie attempts to draw a conclusion that there is NO COSMIC PURPOSE SURVED by a person's suffering. The book is a MUST READ for all of us because all of us will have to sometimes in their lives deal with such questions.
