Reasons of Life's Sorrow And their Solutions

Quote - “The happiness of the world is the sorrow of the future.”

                       “संसार का सुख ही तो आने वाले भविष्य का दुख है।“

Ignorant men and women, the more they go on collecting, more unhappy they will become.

In the 65th verse of the 17th chapter of the first part of Vishnupuran, Bhakt Prahlad, while explaining the cause of sorrow to all the demonic children in the Gurukul, said that

करोति हे दैत्यसुता यावन्मात्र परिग्रहम्।

तावन्मात्रं स एवास्य दु:खं चेतसि यच्छति।।

Bhakta Prahlad said that O sons of demons! In this entire Triloki Naam, the world, the reason for the sorrow of ignorant men and women is the same, and the reason for happiness is also the same. Whoever has accumulated with the desire to enjoy happiness, he gets that much mental pain. The more things are collected, the more people are collected, then in the mind of the collector, man, woman, sorrow is received from the same number of things, sorrow is received from the same number of persons.

That's why, if it is collected with judicious intelligence only for life's operation, then it also causes less sorrow. The mind is also not much preoccupied with protecting things. There is no excruciating pain when it is destroyed.

The human body is an intelligent body. From humans to deities, there is a progressive increase in intelligence and strength in all species.

In the land of death, humans are the only ones who can even think about the cause of their suffering.

There is sorrow in heaven also. There is sorrow in Brahmalok as well.

Where there is sorrow, there are reasons for sorrow.

Come! Let the cause of sorrow be considered! 

करोति हे दैत्यसुता यावन्मात्र परिग्रहम्।

Hey demon children! Collect as much as you can.

Prahlad ji alerted all the men and women of the world by making all the demonic children the instruments, the way to remove the sorrows, and the reason for the sorrows and said that -

All the living beings with a body in this world have a strong desire for life. Everyone has affinity towards their body. Everyone has a strong

desire to get physical pleasure from the senses.

But God has naturally endowed man with such capability that he can destroy his sorrows as well. By generating the means of happiness, we can enjoy different types of happiness.

A person who creates the means of happiness, has another unique ability that, after getting anything, he can also sacrifice it.

The ability to sacrifice, and the ability to accumulate, both these abilities, the human race gets automatically from birth till death.

Prahlad ji said that children! You are still a child. The kind of understanding that is achieved in childhood, the same understanding appears in the form of action in youth.

If this knowledge becomes stable in childhood itself that what is the cause of sorrow and what is the means of happiness, then whenever sorrow is received from youth to old age, then you will be able to experience happiness by renouncing the painful thing.

Without renouncing the means of suffering, there is no possibility of happiness.

The person from whom sorrow is received, until that person is not abandoned, then the sorrow will not end.

The place where living brings sorrow, until we leave that place, the sorrow will not end.

The nature that causes sorrow, until we renounce that nature, the flow of sorrow will continue.

That is, renunciation of painful things, and renunciation of painful persons, and renunciation of painful place, and renunciation of painful nature can make you happy. Peace is attained only by renunciation. There is no other solution either.

Similarly, the more one accumulates things of happiness, the more sorrows and worries will increase. The stored items also have to be protected. There will be sorrow when things are distorted, and even when they are destroyed.

If it becomes the nature of consuming pleasurable things, then even when those things are not received, physical mental pain will be received. That's for sure.

तावन्मात्रं स एवास्य दु:खं चेतसि यच्छति। 

Every woman and man, their stored things cause sorrow in their mind. The happiness of the world is the sorrow of the future.

That's why, worldly means should be used only with a sacrificial attitude, in the company of Sadguru. For life, as much as is necessary, that many things must be collected. But with the power of satsang and with the power of devotion to God, with the power of disinterest and knowledge, one should also have the ability to renounce it. Only then the greed for the pleasures of this world and the greed for physical pleasures are destroyed.

The person whose greed for physical pleasure is destroyed, no object, no one, no person and no harm in the world can cause mental pain.

If you want happiness, you should give up the greed of happiness.
