Quotes About Suffering

I am convinced that the Lord heard my prayers and took me out according to His plan.

Most people will grow only with pain, not with pleasure. It's unfortunate, but that's the truth. Generally people only go down with pleasure. They don't go up with pleasure. Please see, the quality of a human being is like this: when life offers more and more pleasures to a man, he doesn't grow. He goes down. In terms of the real quality of a human being, only when suffering comes, when pain comes, does a man stand up as a human being.

This is because the way of the physical is circumscribed. The body has only so much of a role to play in your life.

spirituality means putting your life on fast forward. You may suffer much more because everything happens at a fast pace. What you would have stretched for ten years happens, let us say, in one month. So the intensity of the suffering that you go through is extremely acute.

Right now your problem is that you suffer what happened ten years ago and you suffer what may happen the day after tomorrow.

There was pain. Terrible, unbearable pain. But pain is a natural phenomenon, and it is good. Without it you wouldn't know if your leg was chopped off. But suffering is another matter altogether. Pain is bad enough; why make it worse with suffering? Suffering is entirely self-created. And every human being has the choice: to suffer or not to suffer. It doesn't take much intelligence to choose the latter.

And so these are the only two things that you are suffering right now: your memory and your imagination.
