Man should bring under his control the source of pleasure and pain. More than pleasure, it is pain that awakens the wisdom in man. If you study the lives of great men, you will find that it is out of trouble and pain that they derived wisdom. Without sorrow, there can be no wisdom. It is pain that teaches many lessons to man. Not realizing this profound truth, man pursues pleasure endlessly. No doubt, man needs to be happy. But how is happiness to be achieved? It is only when sorrow is overcome that man realizes happiness. Hence everyone should welcome sorrow in the same spirit in which he greets happiness. Pain and pleasure are intermingled. No one can separate them. Pleasure is never found separately by itself. When one is relieved of pain, one experiences pleasure.- Baba

Thank you so much for this, it is beautiful... I'll try to remember to always

welcome my sorrow, though it's not so easy every time.. I would just like to add

to your message that " Instead of pretending to feel good, we should enjoy

feeling bad " .

peace & love everyone,

Dear Friends,

I also got a lot from this. I am in such sorrow now still over the death of my brother. All has settled down. My sister is doing well with her chemo and now I am feeling so much pain over the death of my brother. Pain that I did not let myself feel before. I am reading Levine's book ' Unattended Sorrow' and it is very good. He does seem to know exactly how I am feeling. I just finished his book 'Who Dies'. Of course the answer is 'we all do'. But we live our lives, in this country, as if we don't and he says that only when we face our death do we really begin to live. I am welcoming my sorrow at the moment because I had shut it down inside for quite a while now. And my desire is for it to come up and out.

Love, Light, Peace and Joy,CherylVisit me at: http://www.myspace.com/senegalady
