Q(Question ) : I want what is pleasant and don’t want what is painful .

 

M(Maharaj) : How do you know what is pleasant and what is pain ?

 

Q : From past experience, of course .

 

M : Guided by memory , you have been pursuing the pleasant, and shunning

the unpleasant . Have you succeeded ?

 

Q : No. I have not . The pleasant does not last . Pain sets in again .

 

M : Which pain ?

 

Q : The desire for pleasure , the fear of pain, both are states of distress .

Is there a state of unalloyed pleasure ?

 

M : Every pleasure , physical or mental , needs an INSTRUMENT .

Both the physical and mental instruments are material , they get tired

and worn out . The pleasure they yield is necessairily limited in intensity

and duration . Pain is the background of all your pleasures .

You want them because you suffer (you want the pleasure because you are

used to suffering your pains . So , you are seeking its opposite ).

And then , the very search for pleasure is the cause of pain .

IT IS A VICUOUS CIRCLE .

**

Realisation :The moment we decide not to mentally suffer a

Pain ful incident in life , this decision stops our suffering ..There pain

stops instantly . Where there is no pain within , there cannot be pleasure Also . Same also , do not indulge the mind with the pleasures of life .. Just be in the present joy and not carry it in the mind. There , pleasure ceases with the very ‘ now’ .

 

 

As pleasure ceases , pain also ceases .

 

ONE DOES NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE OTHER !!

HENCE DO NOT SEEK BOTH !
