Worldly suffering Quotes

“This [worldly suffering] is indeed the result of a flawed-vision. When this flawed-vision goes away, the world will be seen “As it is”. By sitting with the ‘Experienced Person’ whose flawed-vision is gone, our flawed-vision will go away. Nothing else will make it go away.”

“You will especially not find anyone who speaks bitterly to you. All the 'diseases' [worldly suffering] remains due to the sweetness. Bitterness will remove the disease, sweetness will increase it. Your life should be such that you will not have to listen to bitter words. If however, you have to listen to bitter words, then you should listen to it. It is always beneficial.”

“If you are visiting someone and his wife feeds you a wonderful meal, you should be grateful but you should not wish that it would be nice if she could go home with you. Having such intents towards food and eating leads one to become increasingly possessed with turmoil (worldly suffering). This is why the Lord has said for us to enjoy but not become the enjoyer, to do something which we like but do not become habituated about it.”
