How can we explain the suffering in the world today? Why can’t God who created man stop these sufferings? In the one of Heaven’s Truth (Tenrikyo) sacred books is the following:

If I say “causality,” you probably do not understand it. The entire world is a mirror. Although all human beings go through births and rebirths, each way you have used your mind is accurately reflected to your body. Understand this well.                              Osashizu  February 15, 1888

Summary: What we sow, we reap. By our good thoughts and behavior today, we have the ability to create a joyous future. We control our own destiny. What occurs in the world, is a reflection of all of our minds.
