Advaita Talks from Francis Lucille: The End of Suffering

[gainsbourg66]

What about physical suffering? If there is a famine how does loss of a sense of individuality stop the suffering of hunger?

[ngough]

It is important to see that there is a difference between psychological suffering and physical suffering or in the case that you stated the changes associated with the body that happens as the result of malnutrition. Physical suffering is a biological happening, there is no doer going in and causing the physical suffering (beyond someone causing physical harm to you). Your body has intelligent mechanisms that kick in to try to preserve itself which we would call painful and suffering.

As opposed to psychological suffering which arises due to mis-identification, attention and credence placed on concepts that are not in alignment with the experiential fact of our true nature...

This video contains the belief that psychological suffering is "bad" or a "problem". Without physical pain, we would not know that our body is calling for attention. Similarly, without psychological suffering we might not know that aspects of our relationship with another needs attending. This video is no different from other, generally religious beliefs, that are designed to avoid or deny the complex for the simple and unexamined.

Hozho,

Psychologial suffering is not "bad" or good, happens because theres many reason for it.

But , is also very naturally within everybodi searching for a relief or cure for every kind of pain or sorrow. Perhaps it happens because our true nature is free from all kind of suffering. I believe so inside. Sorry for my english.
