Now, these goats are sacrificed before a goddess Kālī. Goddess Kālī. So I have seen it, that one animal is being killed, slaughtered, and the another animal, which will be slaughtered next, he's . . . it has been given some grass, and it is standing there. You see? It has no knowledge that, "My next turn is mine," so it is not going away. So this is animal. This is animal. A human, human being, is not so fool. If there is sign that, "Next time my killing is to be taken up," then he . . . at least he will protest or try to go away, something like that. You see? But there is no such thing.
So the distinction between animal and man is that that animal is not aware of the sufferings he is undergoing. There are sufferings both for the animals and for the man, but man is conscious. If a man is not awakened to his suffering, then he is in animal consciousness.
So we are . . . we should not forget that we are always under suffering. There are three kinds of sufferings. I don't say about this economic problem or . . . that is also another suffering. But according to Vedic knowledge—or it is a fact—there are three kinds of sufferings. One kind of suffering belonging to the body and the mind. Now, suppose I am getting some headache. Now I am feeling very warm, I am feeling very cold, and so many bodily sufferings there are. Similarly, we have got sufferings of the mind. My mind is not well today. I have been . . . somebody has called me something, so I am suffering. Or I have lost something or some friend, so many things.
So sufferings of the body and mind, and then sufferings by the nature. Nature. This is called adhidaivika, which we have no control. In every suffering we have no control, especially . . . suppose there is heavy snowfall. The whole New York City is flooded with the snow, and we are all put into inconvenience. That's a sort of suffering. But you have no control. You cannot stop snow falling. You see? (laughs) If some, some, there is wind, cold wind, you cannot stop it. This is called adhidaivika suffering. And the suffering of the mind and suffering of the body is called adhyātmika. And there is other sufferings, adhibhautika, attack by other living being—my enemy, some animal or some worm, so many.
