Do you remember the man, the Gyan Yogi that I told you about yesterday? I finished the lecture shortly after telling this and some yoga students asked a few questions about this. One of them said that there are here also many people who seem to be fine although they are suffering from pain or people who show that they are happy although they are sad inside. However the difference between these people and the Yogi I told you about is very big.
Unlike many people here, he did not at all act or play a role. He was not dishonest when he said that he was not suffering. So many people don't express their true feelings but this is not what this story is about. I am not suggesting everybody to pretend to be happy when you feel like crying! This is not at all my idea! Please accept yourself and express whatever you have inside. If it is happiness, anger or pain.
But when you are in this level of consciousness that this Gyan Yogi was in, you will maybe experience the pain as something given by God. Maybe you can believe that God can come in the form of pain just in the same way as he can come in the form of happiness. I can hug this pain. God can come in any form, why not in the form of pain? This is also a kind of method or way to get rid of pain: to live it, to accept it. There are people who have chronic pain since many years. In this situation you need to accept the pain and you should accept it with love. There are so many beautiful things in life.
Another beautiful thing is good ice cream. After dinner we planned to go to an ice cafe but then we remembered that we had lots of ice cream in the freezer. So we stayed at home and had a little ice cream party here. Like this I also did not have to put on my warm clothes. The weather was really funny today. Changing from sun to hailing and back to sun and then rain. April weather they call it here.

I see what you mean. this is a big difference between hiding and not experiencing.
Pain is such a funny thing. I have a friend who says sometimes “This hurts me but it isn’t causing me pain.” I always think about that.
The way this is described is really helpful. “Hug your pain,” of course!
I love it when you write about Ice Cream, haha.
I hope to die with a smile. Or while I’m looking the other direction and don’t know it is close by.
Pain is a mysterious thing. If we didn’t have the brain to interpret sensation, we wouldn’t feel pain, even if there was damage to the body. So really, pain is in the brain! Maybe this is why it helps to accept the pain mentally, send it love, or hug it. I have even heard people suggest talking to your pain: “Yes, hello. I know you are there. I’m listening to you and I accept what you have to say. Thanks for being here.” It sounds weird, but I think it helps!
Maybe we are trying to avoid pain, because it appears to be negative term. Primary pain means suffering. But what does this suffering bring you? It forms you, it makes you stronger and in the end it can heal you. So don’t be afraid of a little bit of pain 😉
