Lesson #17 - Pain is what you get certainly when you resist..


(III) Third Law Of Peace - Resistance is Pain

- Resistance to the reality is resistance to nature. We are supposed to understand that an apple will never taste like a mango. Without interfering in the nature of apple, we have to learn to enjoy it as it is.
- Lethargy always has the bitter smell of confusion and chaos; sensuality must result in greed, attachment and pain; friends many not be considerate all the time; love may not get reciprocated always.
- Accepting all possibilities will lead to peace.
- The important thing is that whatever steps you take, you do it with equanimity and without imposing the outcome. Just do it with love and for love.

The destination is living in freedom and not reaching out to freedom


Push your rocks
- The rocks of life are the problems we face.
- Pushing the rocks of life, we become stronger in equanimity, peace, endurance and understanding.
- The problematic situations or rocks will always be there.
(Example: There will always be difficult people on the way. There will always be sickness and hospitalization of oneself or of some dear ones. There will always be birth and death elsewhere.)
- How can anybody avoid failures and keep winning all the time?

These are the inevitables of life. You accept them, good for you. You resist them, bad for you as they will still be there and you will be disturbed too.
