In the worldly life, what is misery? It is the pain created from wrong suspicions.

Soul is endowed with resultant bliss! One himself is Soul, no one else can take its happiness away from him. One is free of all pain and suffering by nature. He has tremendous (powerful) grandeur (splendor)! How can any misery affect him?

What is the definition of ‘remaining untouched in the worldly life’? It means that one finds pleasure upon seeing something nice, but he is not to stuck there; he should move on. Then a cactus will appeal to him and a rose will appeal to him. But the world gets stuck there. Getting stuck itself is the pain!

When it becomes above normal, material happiness will feel like misery.

Absence of worldly misery - that is called eternal bliss.

Where there is not the slightest of misery; that is where the Soul is.

That which cures all worldly miseries, is called ‘Scientific’ Knowledge.

Maintaining equanimity in misery is called penance (tapa).
