ATTITUDE OF THE SADHAK TOWARDS MISERY (DUKKHA)

 There will be always dualities like sins-credit, happiness-dukkha, morality-immorality, justice-injustice, etc., in the world and worldly affairs. We will have lot more harassment, regrets, Dukkha, troubles and difficulties if the we try to behave like them; we will never get peace and happiness. There will be no benefit to us if we face them with Jiva-nature. We will sink deeper in the Jiva-nature and seized by the duality of attachment and hate. At that time the remedy is not to act with Jiva-nature; but acting with another way to face them. Injustice should be faced with generosity and open mind. We must have perceptible knowledge and awareness that incidents of injustice, Dukkha and harassment, etc., are given to us by the holy Grace to build our lives. We will benefit a lot if we realize that in every incident there is a purpose of development of certain virtues like patience, generosity, compassion and tolerance. There will be genuine happiness (આનંદ) within us from such realization.
