WHY DO HUMAN BEINGS SUFFER MORE THAN ANIMALS?
👀👀
👉👀❤
ANS : YOUR CONCERN IS ONLY ABOUT HUMAN SUFFERING AND HUMAN WELLBEING, SO YOU NOTICE ONLY THAT. YOU DO NOT NOTICE THE SUFFERING THAT ANIMALS ARE GOING THROUGH. PEOPLE THINK IT IS ONLY THEY WHO ARE SUFFERING, BUT THE WAY HUMAN BEINGS ARE LIVING, THEY ARE MAKING EVERYTHING IN THE EXISTENCE SUFFER. EVERY DAY AS YOU WALK AROUND, YOU PROBABLY STEP ON A HUDRED ANTS. SOME OF THEM DIE, SOME OF THEM STRUGGLE - THEY ARE SUFFERING, BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW THEIR SUFFERING. YOUR SUFFERING IS ONLY THAT YOUR LEGS ARE ACHING FROM HAVING TO WALK AROUND. IT IS ALWAYS A RELATIVE PERCEPTION.
YOUR SUFFERING, YOUR ENJOYMENT, AND YOUR WELLBEING ARE ALWAYS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE YOUR EXPERIENCE OF LIFE IS THROUGH YOU. THE SEAT OF YOUR EXPERIENCE IS WITHIN YOU, SO YOU SEE EVERYTHING ONLY FROM YOUR CONTEXT. IN THAT CONTEXT YOU ARE SAYING HUMANS SUFFER MORE THAN ANIMALS. IF YOU WERE TO GO AND TALK TO THE ANTS, THEY WOULD HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOU AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD. THE ANTS ARE SUFFERING MUCH MORE THAN HUMAN BEINGS ARE BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE IN NUMBER.

BUT THE THING IS, ANIMALS ONLY SUFFER PHYSICALLY, IF THINGS GO WRONG. HUMAN BEINGS SUFFER MUCH MORE THAN OTHER CREATURES BECAUSE WE HAVE A DISCRETIONARY INTELLECT. MOST OF A HUMAN BEING'S SUFFERING IS MENTAL, AND MENTAL SUFFERING IS SELF-CREATED. A HUMAN BEING IS AN EXPERT AT CREATING SUFFERING FOR HIMSELF AND FOR OTHERS. THIS IS BECAUSEHE HAS A DISCRETIONARY MIND - HE CAN CHOOSE TO BE ANY WAY HE WANTS RIGHT NOW. HE CAN MAKE HIMSELF JOYFUL OR MAKE HIMSELF MISERABLE. YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF YOUR MIN. THIS CHOICE IS THERE AT EVERY MOMENT.
YOUR MIND IS NOT A SOLID STATE, IT IS A FLUID, YOU CAN MAKE IT TAKE ON ANY SHAPE. YOU COULD LOOK AT A TREE AND SAY, "OH! GOD IS LIVING THERE. HOW WONDERFUL! OR YOU COULD LOOK AT THE TREE IN TERROR AND SAY, "MAYBE DEVILS ARE HANGING AROUND THERE". THERE IS NO END TO THE MIND. YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BECOMING ANYTHING AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MISERY OUT OF THEMSELVES. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

AT ANIMAL DOES NOT HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. IF YOU HAD COME HERE AS ANY OTHER CREATURE, LIFE WOULD BE VERY SIMPLE FOR YOU. WHEN A TIGER IS BORN, HE DOES NOT SIT AND WORRY, "HOW SHOULD I BECOME A GOOD TIGER? WHICH GOD SHOULD I WORSHIP? WHAT UNIVERSITY SHOULD I GO TO? HE HAS NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS. IF HE JUST FINDS ENOUGH FOOD, HE WILL BECOME A GOOD TIGER? WHAT IF I END UP AS A HOUSECAT? THESE KINDS OF STRUGGLES ARE NOT THERE IS HIM. BUT YOU WERE BORN AS A HUMAN BEING. TO BECOME A GOOD HUMAN BEING, LOOK AT HOW MANY THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO. AND EVEN AFTER DOING ALL THESE THINGS, YOU STILL DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU BELONG. ONLY IN COMPARISON WITH SOMEONE ELSE CAN YOU SAY, "I AM A BETTER MAN, BUT BY YOURSELF, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU STAND.
IT IS THIS FREEDOM WHICH IS CAUSING ALL THE PAIN AND STRUGGLE FOR A HUMAN BEING. HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOT SUFFERING THEIR BONDAGE, THEY ARE SUFFERING THEIR FREEDOM, AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST TRAGEDY. IF BONDAGE WAS THE SOURCE OF MISERY, IT IS BAD ENOUGH, BUT WE COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BREAK THAT ONE BONDAGE THAT IS HOLDING YOU DOWN. BUT IF FREEDOM BECOMES THE SOURCE OF MISERY, WHAT KIND OF SOLUTION CAN WE FIND?
👉👀❤
THAT WHICH COULD BE A WAY TO BEING UNLIMITED HAS BECOME A WAY TO SUFFERING SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE UNCONSCIOUS. FREEDOM IS ONLY A PROBLEM WHEN YOU ARE UNAWARE. IF YOU WERE AWARE, THE SAME FREEDOM WOULD BE YOUR BENEDICTION. WHY MEDITATION HAS BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH IMPORTANCE IS BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT MAKING YOU AS CONSCIOUS AS POSSIBLE, SO THAT YOU DON'T SUFFER YOUR FREEDOM - YOU MAKE USE OF YOUR FREEDOM TO FLOWER INTO A LARGER DIMENSION OF WHO YOU ARE. EVERY HUMAN BEING IS BORN WITH THE SAME POSSIBILITY, BUT ALL OF THEM DO NOT MAKE THEMSELVES INTO THE SAME THINGS EVEN IF THEY ARE GIVEN THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES - BECAUSE IT IS CONSCIOUS, YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF WHAT YOU WANT - THIS MOMENT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE INTO HEAVEN, OR YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE INTO HELL. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
THERE IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL STORY. THERE WAS A YOGI WHO WAS OLD AND NEARING THE END OF HIS LIFE. HE WENT ABOUT TELLING EVERYONE THAT HE WAS GOING TO HEAVEN. ALL THE OTHER YOGIS LOOKED AT HIM AND WONDERED, " HOW DOES HE KNOW IS GOING TO HEAVEN? BUT THE .YOGI VERY CONFIDENTLY WENT ABOUT TELLING THIS TO EVERYONE IN TOWN.

ONE DAY, ALL OF THEM GATHERED AND ASKED THE YOGI, "HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN? YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S ON GOD'S MIND, WHETHER HE WANTS TO SEND YOU TO HEAVEN OR HELL.
THE YOGI SAID, "I DON'T CARE WHAT'S ON GOD'S MIND. I KNOW WHAT'S ON MY MIND. I AM GOING TO HEAVEN AND THAT'S ALL.
AND THAT IS ALL IT IS.❤❤

"IF YOU ARE GENUINELY HALLUCINATING , IT MEANS YOU ARE MAKING UP THINGS SO POWERFUL IN YOUR MIND THAT IT SEEMS REAL. IF YOU CREATE IT IN YOUR MIND AND EMPOWER IT WITH YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS, IT CAN BECOME A LIVE PROCESS".
