It is certain that if there is someone to hurt you on one side, there is also someone to help you on the other side. Just as you cannot see the one that hurts you, you also cannot see the one that helps you. If the one that hurts you cannot last more than four or five years, neither will the one that helps you.

The lesser the artadhyan (mournful contemplation hurting the self) and raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation hurting the self and others); lesser are the worldly difficulties.

Misery is an unpleasant painful experience (ashata vedaniya); result of misery is artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts the self).

Only when there is dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal state of being that hurts the self and others) in the body, there will be shukladhyan (Internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) in the Self (Soul).

If misery results within you, it is artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts one’s own self) and when someone suffers from painful result because of you, it is raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation that hurts the self and others). Giving happiness to someone is dharmadhyan. It is dharmadhyan when one is satisfied despite having less worldly comforts.

What stops artadhyan (mournful contemplation hurting the self) and raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation hurting the self and others) is dharma (Religion of the Self). What keeps them alive is adharma (Non-Religion of the Self).

It is artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts the self) to complain and cry about one’s own misery and it is raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation hurting the self and others) to give misery to others. It is dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation, giving happiness to others) to stop both of these. The tool that helps stop both of these is dharmadhyan.

When artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts the self) or raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation that hurts the self and others) does not occur; that is called sayyam (one’s strength without any inner weaknesses).

The fruit of practicing dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation, to not hurt anyone, to give happiness to others) is samyak darshan (enlightened vision).
