Description

Acharya Prashant explains the concept of the three types of suffering mentioned in spiritual texts like the Jaap Sahib: Adhibhautika, Adhidaivika, and Adhyatmika. Adhibhautika suffering arises from physical or worldly efforts, such as business failures or educational struggles. Adhidaivika suffering is linked to fate or natural calamities beyond human control, like being born with a disability or facing an earthquake. Adhyatmika suffering is the ultimate and most subtle form of distress, rooted in the fundamental sense of incompleteness of the individual self. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that while people often misattribute their inner restlessness to worldly or divine causes, true spiritual suffering persists even when all material and fated desires are fulfilled. He uses the example of King Janaka, who realized that despite having no worldly or fated lack, he still felt a deep void, leading him to seek spiritual truth. The speaker further clarifies the nature of the Divine as the 'complete enjoyer' (Bhokta). Unlike humans, who experience partial enjoyment and are affected by external qualities, the Divine enjoys itself because nothing exists outside of it. Therefore, no worldly attributes or defects can enter the Divine. He explains that spiritual union (Yoga) is not a merger of two entities but the dissolution of the false self into the Truth. Acharya Prashant advises that the goal of spiritual practice is not just the remembrance of the Divine but the simultaneous forgetting of the illusory world. If one remembers God but remains equally attached to worldly memories, the spirituality is superficial. True spiritual progress involves the 'unlearning' or forgetting of worldly attachments as one moves toward the original state of being.
