Dear Fellow Human beings
I don’t wish to make you upset, bring you down or increase your suffering.
As you know, there are 7 billion human beings on planet earth, as you know they all suffer one way or another for many different reasons.
I believe humans are made by design not to function correctly. One of the biggest problems is our needs. These needs bring us many problems and sometimes lead to disaster - for example the needs for food and security for ourselves and our loved ones. Another need is that everybody is looking for happiness. Sometimes happiness is achieved by peace in your mind and your heart, sometimes it is achieved by satisfaction of a need.
Humans have many needs. The need for a sexual partner, the need to protect ourselves against those animals which can harm us, to protect against cold and hot weather, to protect against other human beings who have needs and are forced by circumstance to attack us in order to satisfy their needs.
If somebody is cheating somebody, it is fear of needs. You can go even further. Somebody kills somebody, due to his needs. Through that act perhaps they get a moment of peace or wrong joy and maybe a touch of wrong happiness.
But human beings by nature are happy.
If you look closely, humans are crippled by design. We cannot fly, we cannot swim, we cannot run like other animals. We cannot even sit comfortably without a chair artificially constructed for us.
We cannot understand which food we should eat. We can be in the forest with many plants and trees around us. We cannot understand which one is good for us and which one is not.
Most probably, most plants are poisonous to us by design. If there is one tree that has some fruit which humans can eat, that fruit needs to be fully ripe so humans can digest it. Usually, before reaching that time, some birds, squirrels or bugs eat them up. Then, out of desperation, humans find some grain and beans to consume.
We have to go through a lot of hard work and suffering, as God says in the Bible, to grow these grains or beans. And after that, we have to collect them and save them for a whole year with lots of difficulty, fighting with bugs, fungus, mouse, rats and other pests. If we can save them, then we have to take them through other processes. Clean them with a lot of preparation, add salt and some other spices, then cook them, and then we can eat them. With all this preparation still humans cannot digest well.
Nobody tells birds and other animals, which seeds to eat. They don’t need to cook. They can even eat rocks and they do not hurt them. They can drink dirty water like most other animals and not have problem.
Humans cannot smell like any animal. Cannot see like any animal. Most animals can see in the dark. Humans cannot hear like any animal.
Who did this to us? Why were we made so handicapped and crippled?
In the Bible and Koran, God says he did. He finds an excuse to punish poor human beings. Who gave God permission to be judge and punish human beings?. They say in the Bible and Koran and some other books, God created material existence and created the human body. Almost every enlightened or realized human being see that this human body is nothing but cage and that this material existence is nothing but suffering. Even in medical terms, the middle upper part of the human body is called the "rib cage". The true self referred to by spiritual teachers is trapped inside our body in the rib cage.
Who put us in that cage? What was their purpose? Why did they want to make us suffer?
When human beings reach their true self, they become full of joy and peace and wisdom and knowledge. In most cases society calls them "Saints", who are pure and good beings. Whoever reaches their true self become good and pure, their actions become good.
Why did we have to be put in the cage? And who is controlling us mainly with the senses and the mind, which are not the nature of true self?
We don’t need to taste food for our true self to be happy. We don’t need touch for our true self to be happy. We don’t need to hear any music. Happiness is our true nature. Our source is all joy, all wisdom and all happiness.
Who wants to control us with this physical body, senses and gravity, cold and heat, and torture us from the time of our birth to the time of our death? What is he and the other three parts of him, his female part, his spirit part and his Mara part? What is he getting out of this?
Some religious people remind me of children who have a bad father who drinks and becomes worse, comes back and beats and rapes everybody . When these children talk to each other they say: "he is not our father. Our father is very good guy. He is rich, handsome and very kind. Somebody must have changed us in hospital at the time of our birth."
If you disagree with what I see, I only can say you are right.
You must be that guy who is not suffering and have people around you who are not suffering.
