Way to be Free of Sorrow

Way to be Free of Sorrow
(दुःख-नाशका उपाय)




 

I have received such insights from saints and holy text, whereby in this present life, all men can attain immense bliss. In this there is no doubt whatsoever. Whether someone is virtuous, or sinful, whether someone is intelligent, or has less intelligence, whether someone is educated or uneducated, whether someone is a brother, or sister. Whether he is following Sanatana Dharma, or is a Buddhist, or a Muslim or an Englishman whoever it may be, he can attain eternal bliss in this very life. Of those talks, today I am sharing one point in detail.
We become pleased and displeased, this is our mistake. What is the mistake in this? In Adhyatma Ramayan, Lakshmanji said to Nishaadraj Guha -
Sukhasya dukhasya na kodapi daataa
Paro dadaateeti kubuddhireshaa |
aham karomeeti vruthaabhimaanah
swakarmasootre grathito hi lokah || (2/6/6)
“There is none other who gives happiness and sorrow - this is the main “sootra”. It is ignorance, it is false notion, it is poor intellect that someone else gives sorrow to us. From the view of principles , it is false that
some person gives us unhappiness. There is one point on the subject that God is eternally compassionate, He is an eternal well-wisher, He is all knowing, and all capable. When such a God is present, and knows all that is happening, then can anyone give someone unhappiness? The second point is that if someone else gives sorrow, then the sorrow will never come to an end; because that someone will remain at all times. Wherever you go, in whatever form of birth, whether you become a demi-god, or a devil, or a demon, or a ghost, whether you become a man, the other will inevitably remain. Then how will sorrow end? These two points are preponderant.
Pleasure and pain both come in front of us. There is no one who can you happiness and sorrow. All are only experiencing the fruits of their past actions. It is written in Patanjali Yog Darshan - “Sati moole tadvipaako jaatyaa yurbhogaah” (2/13). In other word, birth, age and sense enjoyments are the fruits of past actions. What is the name of “bhog” - sense enjoyments? “Abukool vedaneeyan sukham”, “Pratikoolvedaneeyam dukham” and “sukhadukh anyatarah saakshaatkaaro bhogah” i.e. pleasurable and unpleasurable situation come in front of you and you experience the
pleasure and pain, and you believe it to be pleasurable or painful, this is the what is called ‘bhog’. Now one point is of great secrecy, it is very important, and very useful. Now pay attention. If you have done good work, then pleasurable situations come in front of you and if you have done bad work, then unpleasurable situations will come in front of you. This is all about “karma.” Now taking those situations and becoming happy or sad, is nothing but foolishness. These situations are ordained by God, for destroying our “karmas” and have come for our purification. That God, how can He give suffering to anyone? (to be continued)
