Hinduism: The Importance Of Suffering In Hinduism

Hinduism teaches that ghosts are people without physical bodies, the souls of people who died before their time, typically by tragedy. Many Hindus believe human beings have two bodies. When the physical life ends prematurely, the person will remain in an ethereal state in the second body until the remaining time of the life is complete and an entirely new body can be inhabited. Ghosts experience great suffering due to the senses remaining intact, but without a physical body to interact with our world through. Therefore, it is impossible to satisfy the ghost's desires and a hell-like state of existence is suffered for the set period of time
