Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “In the previous lesson, it was shown that bliss is natural for the Jeevis. ‘How then does unhappiness afflict the Jeevis’? We had stopped at this question. How is unhappiness caused? To get the answer to this question, one should try to understand as to when is unhappiness caused. Our experience says that there will be no unhappiness at all during Sushupti. It is only during Jagrat and Svapna that there will be unhappiness. What is the difference between Sushupti and the other two states? There is only one major difference. During Sushupti, the Jeeva will not have any contact with the body and the sense organs. In other words, the feeling that ‘I am the body’ is not there. In the other two states, the Jeeva will enter a body and will think ‘I am the body’. Therefore, it can be said that wherever the Jeeva adopts a body, there is bound to be unhappiness. Wherever the Jeeva does not accept a body, there will be no unhappiness."
