In fact, he doesn't. By suffering he means not only his personal suffering (physical and moral), the suffering of his people and all of humanity. Moreover he claims that a person must always be in a state of suffering not to mention that he had a "fear of knowledge" thinking it might kill faith, the knowledge.
