SUFFERING

The Beginning of Real Happiness

People should not fear suffering; while overcoming it they should develop a proper understanding of it.

One Real Thing You Can Do In This Life

As I have said, Baba suffered for each one of us, for His Love for each one of us.

Complete Detachment

The individual who has complete detachment is not at the mercy of the opposites of experience; and being free from the thralldom of all desires, he no longer creates his own suffering.

Can You Imagine My Plight

When the woman came up to Baba, He asked her, "Do these kids trouble you?"

Don't Make It Worse

His whine changed into a deep sigh of contentment as the hand of the God-man wiped away the intolerable pain.

I Remain Infinitely Helpless

I remain infinitely helpless because while having infinite Power at my command, I do not use it!

A Mere Game Of Cards

During some further games of cards Baba said, "Life and existence throughout its course until Realization is but a game of cards."

My Greatness Does Not Lie In Performing Miracles

My greatness lies in suffering for the universe, because I love all.

Playing With Illusions

Most people play with illusion as children play with toys.

That Too Is Progress

To save yourself from further entanglement in the maze of delusion and self created suffering which owes its magnitude to the extent of your ignorance of the true Goal, awake now.

Even With The Petal Of A Rose!

How the mother must have felt that accusation from her daughter!

I Am That One

In no previous Avataric period have I disclosed these secrets, because the time was not ripe for it then.

A Spiritual Push

In his own ways, the Avatar unfailingly fulfills his incarnation by giving a spiritual push to his age.

The Other Side Of Suffering

It is only your suffering that will bring you close to Me and when you suffer, know that My nazar is on you.

I Had To Feel Cheerful

Everyone was wearing warm clothes, and they wanted Me to be filmed in these thin clothes, thinking it did not matter to Me.

The Eyes Of The Christ

Each time we entered the room he would, out of delicacy for our feelings, throw a kerchief over his swollen face and only show his eyes.

His Bounty In The Form Of Suffering

It is the few who recognize His bounty in the form of suffering and agony which gives birth to a deeper love and understanding and teaches us to accept His Will without any compromise.

Worthy Of His Love When Our Test Comes

I can say little after this, except that may we be as worthy of His Love when our test comes....

Experiences The Soul Must Go Through

Just imagine if everything were fine and serene, no illness, no misery, we'd stick to our ignorance like leaches, and such a stagnant way would hardly serve the development of the ever-awakening soul!

Your Labour Of Love

To draw you to me and to make you realize that you are Bliss Itself, I come amidst you and suffer infinite agony.

Ask And It Will Be Given You, Instantly

Tell me what you want: God, freedom, paradise, motor car, toys or anything else that you would like the best.

So Merciful, So Kind And So Loving

Because of mankind's resistance to the consciousness that the Avatar works to achieve, he has to suffer.

Nobody Suffers In Vain

Nobody suffers in vain, for true freedom is spiritual freedom and suffering is a ladder towards it.

Strive With All Your Heart

Don't dwell on the past, don't be bitter about what has happened, but strive with all your heart to be His.

God Loves The So-Called Destitute And Helpless

Every human being has arrived at the threshold of the same Divine Oneness, and each man and woman does possess a truly equal spiritual opportunity of achieving that Oneness of spiritual freedom.

A Game Of Winning And Losing

The inevitable struggle for existence is in all departments and aspects of life.

A Blessing In Disguise

When suffering leads to the eternal happiness of desirelessness, it should be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Love Longs For This Supreme Privilege

The nearest approach to complete Oneness and affinity with the Master is when He allows us to experience something of His infinite suffering.

Be Content With Your Lot

Do not ask God for money, fame, power, health or children, but seek His grace and it will lead you to eternal bliss.

Thank God it was Only a Dream After All

From your present awake dream state you have to go through many sleeps of death before you get established in the Real Awake State.

From Suffering To Peace

The root of all sufferings, individual or social, is self-interest. Eliminate self-interest and you will solve all problems and difficulties.

He Violates Her Laws

Nature never has been, never will be, and never is at war with man.

Real Desire And Real Longing

Desires and longings are the root cause of suffering.

Everything Comes, Everything Goes

To reconcile her, Baba replied, "You suffer because I am here! Do I not suffer and bear it? Those who are mine should be prepared to suffer."

He Is Still Looking After Us

Although we do not feel or see Him, Baba is always at our side when we suffer.

On The Topic Of Suffering

While the clay is whirling around on the wheel, the potter is shaping the pot by whacking it with a wooden mallet.

Why Do We Suffer?

Why should we be born; to take birth means to suffer.
