Although human body is rare, why do human beings suffer so much?

- Guftego - Dr. Chandrakant Mehta

- Difficulty can awaken a man, if there is no ego and luxury in it, then to suffer only to make oneself happy is infatuation with the body. Trying to make the world happy is the meaning of the rare body

* Even though the human body is rare, why do human beings make the body suffer due to many tortures?

According to scriptural beliefs, after wandering in 3 lakh vaginas, a rare human body is obtained. It is our good fortune that we have received the human body. The body is not only a Bhogalaya but also a Devalaya because Paramatma resides in it in the form of Chaitanya. The body has been compared to a chariot. The senses of the bodily chariot are the horses of the form. Intelligence is the essence of it. The mind is its reins.

The Yajurveda says: There are seven sages in each body: seven eyes, two ears, two nostrils, and one mouth. The Atharva Veda believes that the body with eight chakras and nine gates is the Ayodhyapuri of the gods. It has an ark of gold and a paradise full of light. Both nectar and death reside in this body. Man receives death from lust and nectar from truth. According to the thinker Bacon, the healthy body is the 'guest-house' of the soul and the unhealthy body is its 'prison.'

Describing the shape of the human body, it has been said that it has 200 veins, 210 bones, 108 core arteries, 5 arterial pulses, 200 muscles, 400 in the body. The three main nerves of the body are Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. According to Jain scriptures, there are five types of body in Bhagwad Gomandal. The body is the instrument of life. According to its five types 1. Odarik body means external gross body. Karman body i.e. various karmic bodies of an animal. Taijas body i.e. the body that digests etc. in the gross body. The dietary body is a kind of subtle body that certain beings assume where God is when they doubt themselves. Vaikriya body is the body obtained from Yogasiddhi, which can be made small or big.

In Satyartha Prakash, four states of the body are described: Growth - from 15 years to 5 years - increases in all metals. . Youth: 5 to 20 years. . Perfection, this confirms all metals around the age of 70. . Slight avoidance: - During this time the extra metals in the body are excreted through perspiration. The scriptures emphasize the need for man to do four things in life. Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. But man focuses more on meaning and salvation and sacrifices. In order to earn, to accumulate wealth, to suffer through wealth, the body suffers for the attainment of things that give pleasure to the body.

Man warms the body for vows, rules, fasting, etc., with the idea that for virtue, salvation and happiness in the hereafter. According to the scriptures and the gurus, the body resorted to harsh repression to purify the body, to subdue the senses, and to purify the mind. Lord Gautama Buddha has suggested the path of adopting the middle path instead of adopting the path of extreme rigidity. Kabir has also given the message of avoiding the difficult ways of making the body religious by saying 'Sahaj Samadhi Bhali'.

According to one parable, a woodcutter monopolized the forest and cut wood, burned it, and traded it in the forest. The next day he had a monopoly on another forest. Thus he was making a living. Once, on the afternoon of Vaishakhi, when the king was passing by his coal furnace, he felt thirsty and asked Kathiyara for water. Kathiyara respectfully made the king drink water. As the king was leaving, he asked for his name and address. So give him our sandalwood garden as a reward without a monopoly. So that those poor people are freed from the headache of making coal.

The madman did just that. Kathiyaro was also pleased to find a sandalwood garden, but he did not know that selling sandalwood would bring in a lot of money. So he cut the sandalwood as before, burned it with charcoal. At the same time as the coal was being mined, the king who was out for a walk passed by. He saw that these foolish woodpeckers were abusing the sandalwood tree.

The king became angry and said, "What are you doing? Why did I give you this garden? Each of these sandalwood trees was worth thousands. You burned it to ashes. You are the only one who has the right to monopolize the forest. ' - Kahi Raja took back the sandalwood garden from him and expelled him.

The summary is that this king in the form of paramatma has been given a garden of sandalwood in the form of a human body by this king in the form of a living being, yet in such subjects like Kathiyara he wastes his time in vain and gives trouble to the body.

Man cannot understand the significance of the rarity of the human incarnation due to ignorance. So it gets stuck in the aspirations of the lower class. Man needs self-knowledge to recognize his true form. The way to know God will be easy for those who know themselves. Man becomes a slave to addiction and suffers many kinds of physical suffering.

Man does not understand the importance of restraint and renunciation so he becomes a host of calamities for the sake of material happiness. Trouble can awaken a man if he does not have ego and luxury. The only way to be happy is to work hard to make yourself happy. The meaning of the rare body is to work hard to make the world happy.
