Hare Krishna! Knock of an uninvited guest
As humans too we are subjected to trials and tribulations of life. The three forms of sufferings which constantly punish us are: Adhibhautika klesha: Miseries caused by people who are inimical to us. They can be our foes or even our family members and relatives. Adhidaivika klesha: Miseries caused due to natural calamities like earthquake, tsunami, floods, heavy rain, famine etc. Adhyatmika klesha: Miseries caused by our own mind, senses and body. Mind and senses can ruin our life if they are not properly controlled. However the silver lining is that as humans we have been gifted with the ability and opportunity to not just get rid of all types of sufferings but also have the chance to put an end to the cycle of birth and death forever. And the process to do this has been explained in Vedic books.
