There was pain. Terrible, unbearable pain. But pain is a natural phenomenon, & it is good. Without it you wouldn’t know if your leg was chopped off. But suffering is another matter altogether. Pain is bad enough; why make it worse with suffering? Suffering is entirely self-created. And every human being has the choice: to suffer or not to suffer. It doesn’t take much intelligence to choose the latter.

When you realize that all your material achievements are of value only in comparison with those who don’t have them, this is joy that springs from another’s deprivation. Can you really call this joy? Isn’t it actually a kind of sickness? It is time everyone addressed this. If you were alone on this planet, what would you want for yourself? Ask yourself this question and see where it takes you.

Most people think peace and joy are the goals of the spiritual life. This is a fallacy.
Peace and joy are not things you attain at the end of life. They are the basis of your life. If you consider peace to be the ultimate goal, you will only “rest in peace”!

Let us start with a single question:what do we consider to be a state of well-being?
Very simply, well-being is just deep sense of pleasantness within.If your body feels pleasant,we call this health.If your mind becomes pleasant,we call this peace.If your emotions become pleasant,we call this love.If your life energies become pleasant,we call this bliss.This is all that you are seeking: pleasantness within & without.
