Tritaap
Afflictions or sufferings of the material world are called tritaap (त्रिताप). tri (त्रि) means three and taap (ताप) means afflictions, thus as the name suggests these afflictions can be divided into three categories.
1. Daihik taap (दैहिक ताप): Also called adhyatmik taap (आध्यात्मिक), these sufferings are
a. mental diseases like anger, passion, greed, ego, misapprehension etc and
b. physical diseases (e.g. cough, fever, cancer etc) caused by imbalance of tridosh.
2. Daivik Taap (दैविक ताप): These are sufferings caused by nature like storms, floods, drought etc. This is also called aadhideivik (आधिदैविक) taap.
3. Bhautik taap (भौतिक ताप): These are material sufferings caused by other humans, animals, insects etc. This is also called aadhibhautik (आधिभौतिक) taap.
Every Jeev, before God realization, is subjected to these afflictions. However after God-realization, these sufferings cannot affect the Jeev (आत्मा या जीव).
