A person having one sin, included thousands of sins in him. The root of sin is in mind and the tongue and hand are the two gross instruments of its expression. Due to this bad thought, he acquires other bad company. Evil is inside and evil is out side. Person having evil thoughts brings out the bad thoughts like silk worm. He traps himself and leads others also into that trap. Why does a man become sick? merely due to his thought. Why does he become miserable? Due to his thought. Thought makes a person angry, thought only produces desires; greed comes through thought; due to thought only attachments and illusion. Ahankar is born out of thought only. These are all the faces of Aadhyatmic misery, which have thousands of forms. It requires an office. It may be possible to treat one patient, but how is it possible to treat thousands of patients?

Lord Buddha commanded that world is a market where transactions of miseries are done. World is a house of fire where in all living beings are burning like fuel. World is an ocean in which illusioned jives are under going dips of troubles and miseries day and night.

Their outward appearance is lovely but along with them there will certainly be miseries and they should be, because this layer of creation is a mixed creation. Therefore misery and happiness go together. Therefore there will be certainly misery along with the desire for happiness. Our desire or condition will not be the same always in this world, always keeps on changing. The thing which we respect today, we will throw out tomorrow. The thing we love today, start hating tomorrow. Where there is liking today, tomorrow there will be hatred. Today’s happiness will be transformed into tomorrow’s grief. People say that this condition will not be for ever. Dual thinking of mind will go away; but this is wrong. The
