Why Suffering? Sadhguru

…Sadhguru, you said the suffering is of mind
…and we have the freedom to get rid of it.
…However, there are people who don’t even have food to eat,
what about their suffering?
People have...don’t have food to eat, not because there’s no food in the world
because, people who are capable, have grabbed everything.
There are people without food like situations we have in Africa,
Ethiopia and even in India.
You’re telling me.
Unfortunately,
we have left a large population of the world,
human population in physical pain.
Pains of hunger, pains of disease, pains of injury,
various types of physical pains we are creating.
The way we are treating half the humanity on the planet,
looks like we are hells angels
We are not human beings.
We are not really human beings if you look at the world.
Cause half the population of the world,
we really kept them in hell.
But still, if you don't know this,
people who are in comfort and well being,
their level of suffering is much deeper
than those people who are not eating properly.
Even today... that’s the reality.
So suffering is not necessarily always in proportion
to ones physical deprivation.
People who have everything,
they suffer much more deeply
than people who don’t have anything
And, just that you have too much
and somebody is suffering from too little,
That itself will cause you immense suffering.
You might not be aware of it.
It may take, it may take time for a lot of people to realize
that in some way every morsel of food that you eat
and every hungry stomach in the world
is ... connected
whether you like it or you don’t like it
I’m not trying to make a situation where you can’t enjoy your dinner or your breakfast
that's not the idea, but,
it is connected
whether you like it or you don’t like it.
I think it’s good.. before you…everyday… you sit in front of your food
Take a minute’s break before you eat
and think of all the people who are not eating today.
And still eat well... understand... still eat well
knowing full well
that... there is something that you can do by eating well
by not eating well you will not do anything
but by eating well you can do something
then this food will not go waste on you
then something will happen out of this
because if you make this one... aware of what it wants
this one... which you call as human can’t keep quiet
it has to do something
by somehow insulating yourself
thinking that’s not your business that it's god’s work
right now he ask,
this..., is creator's mistake... that so many people are suffering?
By doing this...
you are trying to insulate yourself against other peoples suffering.
Because... there is something in you,
which is connected to everything in existence.
If you make that active in whichever way possible
that something in you... won’t let you keep quiet.
I would say,
if just one person of the population stands up
really...in a committed way
to elevate human suffering.
At least the physical suffering in existence could be
just wiped out. ...You know?
The whole one hundred percent (100%) need not stand up
Just one percent (1%) … if they stand up it can be done
