This world is a form of misery. And where there is no trace of misery, there, one is filled with misery, just upon encountering.1 Therefore, one cannot mention all the types of miseries that befalls one. What can we say? This world is like that and there is only misery in the vishays. Footnotes: 1. 1. Swami is explaining that God and the Sant are a treasure of bliss, yet even when someone has attained them, one remains miserable because of agnān. This agnān is due to weakness for enjoying vishays or affection for one’s relationships of the body.
