One of the main mysteries in the philosophy of religion is the existence of evil and suffering in a universe that is supposed to be created and ruled by an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent God. How can this apparent paradox be explained? Assuming that evil and suffering are wrong, some conclude that God does not exist, while others postulates that evil is the outcome of humanity’s misuse of the free will given by God. Is there a Theosophical perspective?
