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

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.

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.

To believe happiness-misery in circumstances is artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts the self). One becomes unhappy when he loses what he likes and one becomes happy when he comes across what he likes; that is all considered as artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts the self).

Misery will not come to the one who does not deceive his own Self. Miseries arise because one deceives one’s own Self.

When one becomes engrossed with the mind, there will be happiness and there will be misery too. And when there is no engrossment in either of the two, there will be ultimate bliss.

You have endured so much misery. If you take note of that, even then moha (infatuation due to illusion) will go away. And yet it does not go away, and keeps making you endure the misery.

It is vikalp (I with wrong belief that ‘I am Chandubhai’) when one gives rise to entanglements himself is vikalp, and sankalp (this is mine) is to dwell in that entanglement.

What are the miseries in this world, due to? They exist because one’s “vision” is not “clear”.
