him, never have to be born again, nor to die, in this material universe, for they and they will never return to it again, it is a promise from God.
Without sacrifices offered to God, there will be droughts.
People suffer material suffering because they are not attached to God, the Supreme Person. In this world of dense matter, three miseries or forms of suffering continually make us suffer:
The first designates the sufferings resulting from the body and the mind. The living being sometimes suffers from physical ailments, sometimes from mental afflictions. We have experienced these two varieties from the very time of our stay in our mother's womb. Several forms of suffering thus seem to take advantage of the fragility of the human body to torment us.
The second designates the suffering caused by other living entities. A large number of animals produced from larvae, including some insects, can thus disturb our sleep. Cockroaches and other unwanted species can also inflict torment on us, as can evil human beings and various beings born on planets other than ours.
The third is suffering that originates from the material nature, under the impulse of the beings of the higher planets, which have the management. Examples include extreme cold or heat, extreme snowfall, lightning, earthquakes, hurricanes, high winds, heavy rains, extensive and overflowing floods, drought, etc.
or, we are constantly exposed to one or the other of these three forms of suffering.
The heat and the drought which is raging at the moment in France and elsewhere in Europe, makes a very large number of people suffer. Many people are thirsty, fodder is lacking, the drying earth is no longer producing, crops are ravaged, forests are burning. Such are some of the sufferings of this world.
To these latter sufferings, let us add those arising from birth, sickness, old age and death. This world is not a comfortable place, because we are continually harassed there by these miseries which we obviously never ask for.
To escape these various sufferings, the only remedy that God offers us is that of tolerate them, and whoever manages not only to tolerate the various miseries of this world but also manages to remain calm and serene also before the joys of this world, the Lord gives this advice and says what will become of him.
