SUFFERING
Life is suffering. Religions call it the overall result of
actions in previous births. To stop this situation you have to become a Buddha,
an elightened one by following the path of right thinking, right intending,
right acting, right living, right speaking, right acting, right planning and
right meditating. To be brief, your means as well as ends should be noble. They
should be un-punishable by physical, mental, emotional and spiritual suffering.
Suffering
is pain, agony, torment, torture, anguish, discomfort, hardship, distress, affliction,
misery, misfortune, and all those physical, mental and spiritual situations which
make people uneasy and unhappy and lead them to medical treatments, religious
aids, prayers, atonement, abandonment of desires and pleasures and resort to begging for pardon.
The best way to deal with suffering is
change in life style. Adopt physical simplicity , mental uprightness and spiritual
purity.
Those who have suffered and in a way
understood the causes of suffering become humble, sympathetic, helpful,
kind-hearted, law-abiding, God-fearing and as much virtuous as they can wherever
they work or spend their life time.
A man of God undergoes suffering
silently. He does not complain or grumble. What he prays for is his
regeneration and inability to repeat the causes of his present suffering.
Let suffering make you noble ----- a
loveable child of God.
Finally, this famous and quite relevant quote :
“We must learn to suffer what we cannot evade; our life, like the harmony of
the world, is composed of contrary things, and one part is no less necessary
than the other.”
