Aim of Human Life

||  Shree Hari  || 
(Manushya Jeevan ka Uddeshya)
treatment of sorrow is better than depression


There is one main point and it is worth paying attention to, that this human body has been received only for attaining our salvation (Kalyaan).  Earning money and enjoying pleasures – is not the purpose of this human body at all.   Enjoyment of sense pleasures takes place in all the various different forms of birth. From the demi-gods (devatas) to those creatures lying in hell, they all get sense pleasures.   The pleasures gained by the senses, is also obtained in heaven and in hell.   In hell, where there is severe torture,  where one is thrown in boiling oil,  where the body is cut into many pieces, then too the creatures living in hell, do not die.   When they are pulled out of the boiling oil, at that time they experience a certain relief, a comfort.  When the body is torn to pieces then one suffers, but on getting the body, one experience a certain pleasure.  In this manner, one can get all the sense pleasures even in hell; dog, donkey, pig etc. also get pleasure.  But human body is not for sense enjoyment, not for rest and relaxation at all.  This human body is also not for experiencing suffering and sorrow.    The majority of pleasure lies in heaven, and majority of suffering lies in hell.   In human body both pleasure and pain come,  But the human body has been received to rise above both pleasure and pain, and to attain one's salvation
 
There is one extra-ordinary point.   The number of gratifying things that a human being receives, it is received only for doing something beneficial (hit) to others.  Also the gratifying things that one gets, are only for removing the sense of pleasure from them.   One must think deeply about these two points.    What is worldly pleasure?   The things that we desire,  if we acquire them then we get pleasure from it.  Just as if we long for money,  then on getting money we are pleased.  If we are desperately hungry, then on getting food we are gratified.  And if we are terribly thirsty, then on getting water, we feel delighted as our thirst is quenched.  In this way, on the fulfillment of a desire there is a pleasant feeling.  The pleasure is dependent on desire.  If there is no intense hunger, then even if you get the best of foods, then too, you will not be gratified.   If there is no greed in the mind, then even on getting a lot of money, you will not become delighted.  The point is that - Only a man who is unhappy due to not having a thing, becomes happy on getting that thing.  All the unions that are there in this world, in them at first there was pain, then only one can get pleasure from the union.  If there is no pain, then worldly objects will not give pleasure.   Thus the reason for that pleasure  is pain, and after that pleasure also there will surely be pain.   Just as on getting wealth one becomes happy, and when the wealth goes away, then one becomes unhappy.   On getting favorable things, one becomes pleased, and when it goes away, then on becomes displeased.   When pleasure comes then one feels good, and when it goes away, then one feels bad.   Similarly when pain comes then one feels bad,  and when it goes away,  then one feels good.   Feeling good and feeling bad is in both. On one side, one enjoys pleasures and another side one suffers pain, but if one weighs both, then there is no difference in the two! (to be continued)
