IS SUFFERING INEVITABLE?

Recently in Gujarat, India due to heavy rain & flooding many people & cattle died, many areas drowned & drenched , so much destruction...people have lost their loved one & their properties ...many tragic scenes. This kind of unthinkable tragic events continue in people's life throughout the Globe since time immemorial. IS SUFFERING INEVITABLE? 

Every life on Planet Earth wants to be happy & peaceful all the time. Unfortunately happy moments can not last for long time due to duality nature of the material world means everything rotates in cycle like.....Illness-Recovery, Obstacles-No obstacles, Birth-Death, Success-Failure, Victory-Defeat, Praise-Criticism, Winter-Summer, Monsoon-Drought, Happiness- Sorrowness....etc. People in general struggling or suffering from minor to major issue throughout the life. Everyone of us feels that happy moments are short lived and struggling or suffering moments last little longer ( in our mind ). All of us have some ability to resolve the matter but unfortunately many issues keep bothering us one after another....it is endless. Why we can not able to resolve all the issue permanently and live eternally happy & peaceful on Planet Earth ? Let's look into this matter. 

In Vedic Scriptures synonym for an University is called Vidyalayam means educational institute to get a abundance of knowledge.  Library is known as Grandhalayam means place where you find unlimited numbers of books of Knowledge. Similarly an Earth Planet is described as a Dukhalayam means place where you get endless miseries and Mrityuloka means place where people born to die. In short an Earth Planet is place where people are born for innumerable struggle or suffer and die. 

Vedic Scriptures SB 10.14.58 says padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām:  There is struggle & danger at every steps in our life. How to live & face challenges in this world? Philosophy & Spiritual practices will give us new perspective, understanding, strength, brighter outlook, purpose to live, a new look toward human life as a precious gift, reward, an honour......etc rather then sorrow, misery, punishment or chaotic life....etc.

If we observe this world carefully then realize that every problems of life surrounded by Birth-Death cycle. Once we realize that we are eternal Soul not a Body, WE & OUR LOVED ONE ALWAYS LIVE somewhere in some form with someone, we should don't be fearful and disturbed by changes surrounding us.

Bg 2.13 — As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

Bg 2.14 — O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.

Bg 15.7 — The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.

Bg 18.58 — If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost.

I am inspire to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly listening Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com (Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures). Hearing & reading SB daily is purifying to our senses, nourishing & satisfying to our heart ( Soul ) and transcendental to our consciousness.

I also hear and read discourses & articles on Vedic thoughts & other philosophy from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples (Rasamitra Swami, Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, Bhakticharu Swami,  Urmila Devi Dasi,  Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

I am posting some article based on Vedic scriptures and literature. Of course I use Google search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook for providing platform.

It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.

Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by grace of Guru & God (Absolute Truth).
