PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The threefold miseries are (1) those miseries which arise from the mind and body, (2) those miseries inflicted by other living beings, and (3) those miseries arising from natural catastrophes over which one has no control.

Detailed explanation-2: -The threefold material miseries are miseries arising from the body and the mind, miseries arising from dealings with other living entities, and miseries arising from natural disturbances.

Detailed explanation-3: -In conformity to that spiritual process, Sanatana has already asked, “What am l, and why am I suffering from the threefold miseries?” The threefold miseries are called adhyatmika, adhibhautika, and adhidaivika. The word adhyatmika refers to those miseries caused by the mind and body.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Vaiṣṇava philosophy, when a living entity desires to gratify his senses and forgets the service of the Lord, he is given a place in the material world to act freely according to his desire, and therefore he creates a condition of life in which he either enjoys or suffers.
