thought for the day


"Suffering is unpleasant, and it is natural to want to put an end
to it immediately in whatever way you can. However, there are
circumstances where it would be better not to always run away
from suffering but instead to try to draw strength from it for a
new life. For one of the properties of suffering is that it
awakens qualities in human beings that would never appear in
other conditions. This is why, when you are suffering physically
or psychologically, tell yourself you have been given an
opportunity to work intensely on yourself.
Obviously, I am speaking here not of the unbearable pain that
requires medication but of the general feeling of discomfort that
so frequently occurs in daily life. Instead of trying to relieve
it or forget it by using pills or other substances, it is better
to take advantage of these obstacles to get down to work and
become inwardly stronger. You will achieve this by not remaining
focused on your suffering but using your mind to try to harmonize
everything in your physical, astral and mental bodies. When this
work is complete, you will often notice that your suffering has
disappeared, precisely because the mental work you have done has
succeeded in bringing harmony into your whole being."
