status/capacity is not more than this. Where there is a liking, relation develops. The condition of imprisonment has come on its own accord.
You see whether you have built it or any body has built it. Mind alone is the builder. Therefore to get entangled into its trap is a stupidity. The real interest of religion is to cut mine, your and our, from the roots, so that tamasic vritties may not come up.
Aadhidaivik and Aadhibhautik happiness will not produce so much misery, because the amount of their happiness is equal to the misery. But Aadhyatmic force gets lot of happiness therefore it brings misery also with it. All the worldly happiness comes in these three lines, but in their gross form most of the animate are captivated. There is a need for giving few reasons.
The condition of the people who are captivated more in the things of worldly pleasures, ie. Aadhibhautik is indescribable. Every one of them will search for happiness in them as per their choice. For example: one person has thought that wealth is every thing. His happiness is in accumulating large amount of money, gold and jewellery. In the beginning, the desire was less but his greed increased with the increase in money. Along with increase in greed, he had many losses. At first, all the powers of heart were busy in accumulating the money, therefore now there was no deficiency of desire in his heart for enjoyment so that he was getting every kind of deficiency. Secondly, he was feeling miserable with the thought of getting losses and he will have the thought of constructing good house, fixing good lock, engaging intelligent and healthy servants. Thirdly, due to this he will be terrified with every body, that any body may deceive him and deprive him of his accumulated wealth. His sympathy will be reduced, not only with strangers and alien but also with relatives and alien. He was becoming himself an expression of misery. In this way carelessly, who ever falls into the desire of worldly happiness unnecessarily, he has to become a store house of misery and he comes to the conclusion in the end that there are more miseries in the world and less of happiness, which is not incorrect. You can understand with this example, whether there is welfare in being with it through out the life or not?

As long as we are awake, we feel the happiness or sorrow. We do not have the thought of it when we go to sleep. Therefore medicine is given to a diseased person so that he goes to sleep or becomes unconscious and he is relieved of his grief. This experience will come only in waking state. It is certainly true, if he tells that he feels misery during sleep or dreams but there will be difference between this and waking state. The pain will be absent
