[www.keralites.net] Unabating Suffering!

 

Unabating Suffering! What do you tell someone who is suffering emotional pain? Someone may be pleading for a way out of her insurmountable pain. Pain has the characteristic of making someone focus, concentrate, or unwillingly give its full attention to suffering. As pain increases, so is the strong desire to be spared of pain. For most, that is the first episode in their lives; when vulnerability is felt. The "I" is incapable of escaping at will. There could be amelioration of physical pain through medicine, but emotional pain can only be postponed: We could become drunk to numb ourselves; but that pain will return; the complications will increase and hope of being "better" as time passes by, could be the only comfort at sight. Yes, everything passes by. As it came, it will go away. Have you ever experienced a broken relationship? The death of a loving relative? A deep disappointment in Life? The pounding feeling, the relentless revival of the experience, the endless taste of guilt mixed with despair, anguish… All of that will pass. It will go away. The size of your "I" will decide how long that experience stays. Many times, we make yet another trauma of those painful experiences, but I assure you; those are not there to feed the "Poor I, Poor me," pose, which only adds ego. Those are there, to show you what your "I" is made of. Be aware of that, for nothing else will be able to make you aware of what you are made of. See it. Acknowledge it. Accept it. Instead, we defend "ourselves," we create a story where "I" need to save face despite what Life is showing me. The "I" don't want to see that, arrives… but in time it will open her eyes. Life experiences are able to change someone. Nothing else will do. When suffering is there, you may wish that you did not exist, just so  the "I" could run away from the pain. Many times we have been able to do that, but there are other times; when it is impossible. Want to try suicide, perhaps? That only postpones and amplifies the experience of pain. As long as the "I" escapes, there cannot be change, and Life… is change. It is in that impossibility where the "I" will die, to be someone else. Newness comes after death of the "I."  It has always been like that.   :-)
