BLISSLIFE

Let Everybody be Happy! and Let Everybody be Peaceful!

Today let us try to understand the analytics of Bliss life

How many of you always wants to be happy?Please raise your hand

Is there anyone who does not want to be happy? Please raise your hand

So it is understood that everyone of you always wants to be happy

(Exclude those who does not want to be happy if there are any)

Though all of you always want to be happy is there anybody who never had unhappiness?

Those who wants to say yes – Please raise your hand(exclude them)

Now it is understood that all of you had undergone unhappiness

though you did not like it

How many of you gave a thought about why? and how? You were undergoing unhappiness though you did not like it

Please raise your hand to say yes

We have two categories of people, namely, 1. those who never gave a thought and

2. those who gave thought about it and discovered causes related only to the other persons,

objects and unwanted goals

Is there anybody who gave a thought about one’s own self as responsible for one’s own unhappiness?

Please raise your hand

What made you not think about your own responsibility for your own unhappiness?

Let us now understand the analytics of our own self

Our self consists of

1. Five sense objects (gross)2. Physical body with five physical lobes (golakas) for five sense organs and Five physical lobes (golakas) for five organs of action (gross)3. Five sense organs (subtle)4. Five organs of action (subtle)5. Internal organ consists of a. mind, b. intellect, c. memory and d. ego ( subtle)6. Individual memory of likes and dislikes and process of desire (subtle)7. Action leading to happiness or unhappiness8. Ignorance of the underlying reality or the seer9. Great universal memory10.The seer in our body or the reality – the substratum

Our unhappiness is realized when things does not happen in our favor

and/or up to our expectation

Our happiness is realized when things do happen in our favor

and/or up to our expectation

We never wanted unhappiness and we always try to avoid the sameWhile we always pursue for happiness

The pursuit of happiness and chasing out unhappiness land us in a conflicting behavior

For example: in order to attain happiness we do the hardest work for long time.

That is, we always take pain to attain happiness though we innately never like pain and always chase the pain away. This is how our life falls under conflicting behavior.

We do something hard and painful in order to achieve happiness

Why is this so? Do we need to undergo this conflicting behavior in life and suffer?

Or Do we have any choice to alter it?

We do have a choice to get rid of suffering and let us understand the same

What is suffering that we never like?

Is unhappiness alone suffering?Those who think yes please raise your hand

Is happiness too suffering?Those who think no please raise your hand

In our general practice of achieving happiness we understand that we undergo conflicting behavior.

That is in order to achieve happiness we undergo pain and unhappiness.Thus in our conflicting behavioral practice we take pain for happiness and therefore, pain underlies the happiness.

Thus achieving happiness is also suffering

Then why do we always want to be happy and never be unhappy?Why don’t we accept unhappiness in our life?

When we accept pain and unhappiness in the process of achieving happiness (our goal)

then we consider pain as no pain and unhappiness as no unhappiness.

It is only when we don not accept the pain and unhappiness that comeswithout expectation we deny it. Thus we do not pursue such unhappiness.

We ought to undergo both happiness and unhappiness as long as we act with conflicting behavior.

Thus we need to understand that happiness and unhappiness and pursuing the both as suffering (duhkha)

Now let us understand the mechanics of suffering

The Science of Suffering

Suffering is experienced out of our own actions

We have three instruments of actions: They are

1. Mind2. Physical body3. Speech

We always act through either one of the three instruments.Some times our actions through them produce suffering

Suffering Analytics

Suffering can be either given or received

That is we can give suffering to others and at the same time we can also receive the same from others

Giving suffering happens through three instruments

1.Mind2.Physical body3.Speech

Receiving suffering happens through three instruments

1.Mind2.Physical body3.Speech

Factors behind suffering

1.Lust2.Anger3.Greed4.Passion5.Arrogance6.Jealousy

Supporting factors behind suffering

1. Self imaging or self evaluation2. Imaging about others or evaluation of others3. Comparison4. Pretension5. Imagination6. Expectation

With the exemption of professional and spiritual actions

All twelve factors of suffering hail from

1.Likes2.Dislikes

Liking is a memory of the knowledge of the object recognized as likingDisliking is a memory of the knowledge of the object recognized as disliking

1. Any knowledge of the object is recognized, either as liking or disliking,due to partial knowledge of the object

2. Likes and dislikes are temporary and changeable

3. Complete knowledge about the object that is,Liking side and disliking side of the same will not give rise either liking or disliking of the object and ultimately does not lead to desire and suffering
