Devotee : Mota, Is suffering a kind of disharmony ?
Pujya Shree Mota : Yes. We do not analyze the cause of disharmony. If we do then it becomes apparent that the root cause lies within us. Most ordinary people believe that sorrow or suffering comes from other people and they are the reason for it. If we analyze and understand in our heart that the cause lies within us and sorrow has developed within us. Apparent reason may seem to be somebody else. If we sincerely think this way then we will develop this kind of understanding.
Happiness and suffering springs from within us. We need to dig deeper into this matter. We have impressions on our mind or psyche since our birth or from previous births if you believe in it. We have been slighted in past with painful impressions at the time. Suffering is experienced when these impressions are expressed. It is our false understanding that somebody else is the cause of our suffering. We do not have the strength to bear the result of this expression of our deeper impressions from our mind. Not only that we do not even have the desire or the will to wake up from this situation. If and when there is desire and will, it is possible to come out from this situation at a much faster pace. Life becomes very different after this understanding. So the suffering is from within us and it springs from our mind and psyche. Nobody else is responsible for it.
