We have talked about what suffering is quite a bit. But we haven't answered WHY we suffer. How does the experience of suffering fit into the cosmic picture of creation? Why did Brahman get confused by Maya? Who created the Matrix? Hint, Neo: YOU did. But why? We explore 7 different schools of South Asian philosophy (The Materialist Charvaka school,  Buddhism, Jainism, Vaishnava Dualism, Samkhya/Yoga, Advaita Vedanta and Kashmiri Shaivism) to find out how each of them account for suffering.
