They never have to endure the afflictions such as birth, oldage, death, hunger, thirst, disease, worry, poverty, grief, quarrels etc. of this world. Karma is the rootcause of birth. Due to its total destruction the liberated souls never have to take birth in this world again. The happiness experienced by a liberated soul is infinite times more than the collected happiness of past, present and future of all the livingbeings of the threefold world.
