Re: Pain and Suffering
Pranam Atanu ji
If you knew Gujrati I would sing this (prabhatiu) morning bhajan
Sukh Dukh manMa nav aniye ghat sathe re ghdiya
Meaning roughly, oh mind do not let happiness and distress affect you for it is in built in this material body.
Infect there is no real happiness in this world, all we perceive as pleasure is mere relief from pain
In Bhagvat Gita Shree Krishna describes this world as Dukhaliyam ashvastha, full of pain and temporary.
Just as sure as the day follows the night the our condition never remain the same, one minute we are happy, sad the next.
Hang in there my friend what ever it is, it will pass, accept every situation as Bhagvat prasad
A few word of comfort and support goes a long way in sharing the pain, what is that saying goes a problem shared is a problem halved.
A guru self realised or otherwise, any way how do we know who is realised? Can surely help but his help would and should always be a permanent solution I think you know this very well.
This does not mean we do nothing to alleviate the present condition we may be suffering if it is at all in our hands.
If nothing works just put the hands up and submit to the will of god. Prayers are very powerful tools.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
