Qn: Why is pleasure destructive? Why, in spite of its destructiveness, is it wanted?
Ans: You do not object to pleasure but only to its price in pain and sorrow.
Qn: If reality is bliss, pleasure must in some way be related to it.
Ans: Bliss of Reality does not exclude suffering.
Qn: Pain is not acceptable.
Ans: When pain is accepted for what it is, a lesson and a warning, and heeded, the separation between pain and pleasure breaks down.
Accept pleasure and pain as they come, enjoy both, let them go as they must.
Qn: Enjoy pain! Physical pain calls for action!
Ans: So does mental. Pleasure is accepted while all powers of the Self reject pain.
Wholehearted acceptance of pain releases springs of happiness. Awareness removes obstacles and releases energies.
Intelligence is the door to freedom and alert attention is the mother of intelligence.
Qn: Why does pleasure end in pain?
Ans: Everything has beginning and end. So is pleasure. Selfishness is always destructive.
When more people come to know of their real nature, their influence will prevail and the world's atmosphere sweetens up.
The impact of the great in heart and mind is enough to make the cruelties and crimes of the present age impossible.
A new golden age may come and last for a time and succumb to its own perfection.
Be free from suffering before helping others.
