DESCRIPTION:
Actually all of life is happiness. It’s only due to the identification with the false ego that we get implicated in suffering.

Enlightened people are para dukhi dukhi. That means the happiness of others is their happiness and the sufferings of another is their suffering.

The greatest charity is not just to give someone food. We do have to do to take care of people’s bodies, and try to give people encouragement and emotional support is very important as well.

While we are doing these things we need to help people connect to their eternal soul with the all beautiful love of God. That is the greatest compassion.

We see the sufferings of this world. They come and they go like the seasons. We know the both the winter snow storms and the summer heat is coming.

These changes are always coming. Suffering comes when we try to find our happiness in the ever in the ever changing experience.

We all ultimately enter old age, and experience disease and . And if you talk to old people it can really be a good lesson.

The sufferings of this world can be seen as an impetus to open the doors to realize the real happiness we are looking for, and that is in spiritual truth. That is in loving devotional service.

The laws of karma are very intricate, inconceivable and difficult to understand the details of although the principles are pretty simple.

What goes around comes around. If we are kind to someone that kindness will come back to us. If I cause pain to someone then that pain is going to come back to me sometime. Maybe in this life, maybe in a future life.

We are responsible for our worlds and actions as human beings. But even if we are the most pious person, still we have to grow old and die.

So Bhakti is to live with piety but also to live beyond piety. To live a pious life in the spirit of devotion is transcendental. In such a state of living in Bhakti we are beyond karma.

We are actually investing into our true spiritual nature. So when we see the sufferings of this world and we experience them ourselves, if we are equipped with the perception of truth, instead of getting bewildered by it, we can make it a positive experience.

We want to find that higher power, that grace that can liberate us from this situation so that we have the power to inspire that same liberation in others.
