dog or king, the distress is the same

To take birth either as a dog or as a king, the distress is the same. There
is no difference because the dog has to keep itself within the womb of the
mother in an airtight condition for so many months, and the man, either he
is king or anything, he has also undergo that tribulation. There is no
excuse. Because you are taking birth in a king’s family, it does not mean
that to remain compact within the mother’s womb the distress is less, and
because he is taking birth in a dog’s mother’s womb, therefore his is great.
No. That is the same. Similarly, at the time of death, the distress… At
the time of death there is great distress.
