What does this mean actually? Three folds in a paper? No.

1. Adhi atmika- miseries arising due to one's own self. How? When the senses and mind are in control one doesn't get agitated by them and therefore one doesn't get entangled in the reactions that otherwise arise from doing forbidden actions.

2. Adhi bautika- miseries due to other living entities. How? For the ones who are self controlled, he doesn't have to compete with other living entities for the satisfaction of his own senses beyond limit. And also the paramatma in the hearts of the other living entities helps to direct the other living beings in such a way it doesn't harm the self controlled bhakti yogi.

3. Adhi daivika- miseries due to natural calamities and nature. The devas or the agents of material nature are all very happy to see the devotees who are self controlled and surrendered to the Supreme Lord and so the natural calamities don't cause any disturbance to the devotees of The Lord.
