The Metaphysical Basis of Suffering

The root cause of all miseries and sufferings is karma body which contains coded records of one’s past deeds

Taijjas body decodes messages and sends to physical body

Physical body is the medium for the manifestation of miseries and sufferings

Physical body is just a scapegoat who has to bear the burden
