Pain
is real, Suffering is illusion. Pain is physical, suffering is psychological. Pain
is caused by external realities, suffering in
produced internally by the mind. Pain is healed by medicine; suffering is cured
by understanding and acceptance.
People
say, the world is going to end. It is an old Joke repeated periodically to entertain
the idle Mind. Hollywood has made enough money
by making movies on this topic. Sometimes super intelligent being come from Mars
to destroy the earth, Other times it is the prediction the Mayan Calendar or by some mad
Scientist. As long as USSR Was powerful Nuclear
War was another threat projected for the end of the world. It looks like the
world was us to live in a state of fear.
Religious
leaders too cited Scriptures time and again to frighten the common people regarding
this issue and it was good for their business and invariably made lots of money.
But
why are we afraid of the world coming to an end? In fact we should feel happy about
it. When death comes to an individual person, he or she has nothing more to
lose, so he or she neither has pain nor Suffering,
but it creates lots of suffering among that person's
near and dear ones. Though it sounds ridicules, we have got used to it. We show
our love for the dead by crying thus creating lots of noise pollution. This suffering
is unwarranted but since culture demands it, and not much harm is done by
crying and beating our chest.
But
think about a day, where everyone is dead. Nobody is going to feel pain or
suffering. It will be the day of peace and harmony, a day when the classless
society is finally established.
When
a tragedy occurs to an Individual, he invariably feels it is not fair, and
asks the question: "Why me?", though he does not spells it out, his whole being echos the question: "Why not others?". And it brings in mental turmoil
and sufferings into his life. But if everyone
is affected by a tragedy, it means nothing; there will be pain but not suffering.
If
everyone fails, then no one minds it. It becomes a joke. So end of the world
means equal distribution of tragedy. It is an
occasion of pain without any Suffering. Pain without Suffering is a time to
rejoice, a Sign of enlightenment and an absolute liberation.
