All the sufferings of Men come from ignorance. And ignorance begins with the lack of understanding of one's real nature.

Man identifies himself with his body, his mind, in other words his ego.
However this latter represents only our ephemeral and changing dimension. And this identification with our unsteady nature is the starting point of all our sufferings.
For Man in his innermost being longs for reaching lasting aims such as eternal peace, love and happiness, that his temporal dimension can not give him access to.
And this attraction is due to our soul which is eternal, everlasting. But Man ignores it as long as his consciousness is not awaken.
Consequently he continues his unceasing quest to reach in the ephemeral world what can only be found in the eternal world.

To reach his goal, Man must transcend his ego so as to free his consciousness and by this way reveal his unchanging and eternal nature. This is the way, by the knowledge of his divine nature, Man stops suffering while being incarnate. He is free and remains in the fulfillment of his awaken consciousness. He no longer identifies himself with his ego, he knows he is united to God, to the Universal Consciousness. He knows that leaving his mortal frame won't be the end but he will carry on living. He knows that his true nature is eternal. He has become aware that only the illusion created by his ego had had set him apart from God.

Once illusion has disappeared, only God remains.
