DOES THE JNANI SUFFER?

[Guest guest]

Q: If there is a painful illness, does the jnani suffer it like anyone else?

 

Maharaj: If the case of a jnani the mind and intellect do not function. They

do not register what is being suffered, but the suffering is even more intense

because in the case of an individual it is the body which suffers. In the case

of a jnani it is the consciousness that suffers, so anything that is experienced

in consciousness become exaggerated many times more. But you need not bother

with that stage, because it is a rare case. In the case of a jnani the state is

that of total disassociation for the body-mind.
