It is suffering when you do not get food to eat or when you do not get to use the toilet. The local authorities have made toilets available in every home. Otherwise in the old days you had to carry some water in a pot into the forest to relieve yourself. Now you have bathrooms with toilets in your own bedrooms! Even the landlords and the mighty rulers of the past did not enjoy such facilities. They too had to go to the forest. Even they had to run to the forest when they had diarrhea! People unnecessarily go around complaining about trivial things in
life. Why are they complaining unnecessarily?
Wrong understanding causes suffering. There is no such
thing as suffering if the right understanding is applied. If
there is a little infection in your foot, you have to look around to see if anyone else has the same kind of suffering. If you look in a hospital you will realize what suffering is, while here you suffer unnecessarily with a little infection. You have to investigate all this, do not you? What happens if you suffer without looking into all the facts? How can there be any suffering for people who have so much merit karmas like yourself? You are born in a family of punyasadis (fortunate ones), where you get your meal with very little effort.

Overcoming Temptation
Remember that as a child of God you are endowed with greater strength than you will ever need to overcome all the trials that God may send you.
