Devotee: Why does God permit suffering in the world? Should He not with His omnipotence do away with it at one stroke and ordain the universal realisation of God?

Bhagavān: Suffering is the way for Realisation of God.

"Easy to spot a yellow car when you are always thinking of a yellow car. Easy to spot opportunity when you are always thinking of opportunity. Easy to spot reasons to be mad when you are always thinking of being mad. You become what you constantly think about. Watch yourself."

OF NEUTRINOS

The probability of being struck by lighting is 1 in a million. But have we ever observed a scientific event happening with an even lower probability?

To be sure.

First, I don’t know if the probability of being struck by lightning is exactly 1 in 1 million, but let’s say it is. Fine: that’s the probability of you being struck by lightning. When you consider that there are 8 billion (and growing) people on Earth, the worldwide probability that somebody will be struck by lightning is much, much higher.

Given enough chances to occur, even improbable events become commonplace.

But you wanted to know if we have observed scientific events with an even lower probability. Yes we have.

Neutrinos are subatomic particles that interact with matter so weakly that they could pass through a meter-thick wall of lead without breaking a sweat. In any given second, about 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body, and you are completely unaware of it because the vast majority of them never interact with your atoms.

In fact, if you even want to detect a neutrino, it’s fiendishly difficult.

Behold the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector, located about 1000 meters (3300 feet) underground near the city of Hida, Japan.

This dedicated neutrino detector was completed in 1996 and filled with 50,000 tons of pure water. The 13,000 photodetectors along the wall are meant to capture the fleeting evidence of neutrinos passing through the tank.

Remember when I said that about 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body every second? How many neutrinos do you think pass through the Super-Kamiokande? I’ll give you a hint… it’s a lot more than 100 trillion.

And yet, the detector measures only about 30 neutrinos per day. Neutrinos are so difficult to detect that out of the untold zillions that pass through the detector in a 24-hour period, it only manages to snag a few dozen.

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. (Ludwig Wittgenstein)

As we can see, he says that he does not share the view that Consciousness is the fundamental reality of Universe i.e in other worlds soul exists post death. His view is that Consciousness cannot be explained using prevailing science. 

I think some of the views held by some prominent scientists like Sir Roger Penrose, Fritjof Capra, Erwin Scrondinger, etc come close to what is expressed by Vedanta.
