Manjunath Ram's Insights on Suffering and the Existence of God

“Why does pain still exist if God is real?” 

It's a much timeless question, and Manjunath Ram offers an answer that's as much bold as it is beautiful.

In one of his most-watched reels, Manjunath draws a striking parallel between the life and cinema. He deeply compares the drama that we enjoy in gangster films to the struggles which we face in life. 

Why do we love gangster movies which are full of violence and chaos? Because we know that it's fiction, and we want to feel all the emotions without the actual consequence.

Life is Not Random. It's Drama-

Manjunath suggests that suffering is part of a very larger cosmic play. In his own words, if everything began with God- eternal, powerful, and alone, then the only way to experience something new was to forget that He was God. So, God created this perfect simulation, this world, this katha (story), to experience the joy, pain, confusion, and the discovery as a human.

Simulation or Reality?-

Ram poses a very philosophical challenge: Are we living in a deep reality, or are we all in God's dream? This deep shift in perspective changes how we perceive pain, not as a punishment, but as part of a divine journey toward actually remembering who we truly are.

Key Points-

Life as a Divine Drama: Like films, life includes suffering for a narrative depth.
God Playing All Roles: The universe is a simulation created by God to deeply explore Himself.
Suffering as a Clue: Pain isn't always random, it's a dramatic tool in a story of deep awakening.

Manjunath Ram doesn't offer the clichés, he offers clarity. 

If suffering really exists, it's not because God is absent. It's because we're playing the God's game, wrapped in a deep story that teaches us how to feel, grow, and finally remember who we actually really are.
