your ‘cash’ (spiritual energies) by substituting the suffering (the
naturally presenting penance) with another source of pleasure.
Keep the spiritual energies intact.
People resort to instant medicine when they have to endure
any pain or suffering. Hey you! You are actually increasing your
(karmic) liability and the problem. Suffering does not go away
by pushing it aside or doing something different to alleviate it. If
you ‘see’ the suffering with the experience of Gnan, you will
decrease the liability. Pain and suffering does not go away if it
is pushed away. On the contrary, it will increase, and the original
amount remains to be faced. The one who overcomes one
episode of suffering (one event of dukh), will overcome countless
suffering. He becomes a ‘bandit,’ that is to say he becomes
fearless in the face of suffering. I too have overcome countless
suffering and hence I have become a ‘bandit’!
