during deep sleep. In this way, a man having a severe injury feels misery as long as he is awake. During such time, the flow of Atman contracts naturally and will be concentrated towards the mind and the injured person becomes unconscious, then he completely forgets his injury. This proves that the worldly happiness and misery are only related to waking state. This is a partial answer to a part of the question.
The second part is who gets the misery and why. The strength/power which works in the human body comes from a special place from our body through flow. Where ever the flow stops and gets attracted by it and gets happiness there. When ever it is separated or gets separated, then it feels misery. These flows are two types, one only moves and the second one feels. Those who feel are living beings and it is evident from their movements and works, that they want to escape from misery and meet with the happiness. This is a common matter which can be understood by a less intelligent person. When a person meets the other person, there two conditions are created. One is a desire to have harmony and similarity with that person, the other is a desire to mix or absorb him in himself. If either of the two conditions are not liked, then an effort to reject is seen. The first two conditions have happiness and the last condition will have misery. For example: when a foreign body enters the eye, then the power of feeling by the eye desires that it should become similar and be in harmony or get absorbed and mixing with it, become one or get separated completely. If the matter is absorbed then there will be no pain. If it could not be absorbed or could not become similar, there will be effort to reject it and there will be misery for the attention to work vigorously to reject it. Because the attention will have misery in turning towards this unpleasant condition and there will be pull in opposite direction between contempt and attraction towards it. This attention which is an embodiment of feeling is called Surat and it will also have happiness and misery. In every worldly work, there will be no escape from misery in this way, even if it is small.
Any thing which we are understanding wrongly as good today, will appear as bad and causative of misery tomorrow, due to experience. Religion of Sant helps in this condition and it presents such a method in solving this difficult problem which gives happiness and bliss and by practicing it a man gets freedom from life time misery and become heir to this happiness, even after leaving the body. This practice is according to one’s own discretion and every person, either male or female or boy or any body can practice it with out any difficulty and as he progresses, he understands its respect and elderliness and has the experience of happiness in himself.
What is the practice? Every body can understand that when the flow of experience is moved away forcibly from a special part of the body or heart or
