You have a pain in the leg, or in the head you have headache. You may not have observed the mechanism of it. You have headache, and you constantly struggle and resist. You don't want it.
You are against it, you divide. You are some where standing within the head and the headache is there. You are separate and the headache is separate, and you insist that it should not be so. THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM.
Try once not to fight. Flow with the headache; become the headache. And say, "This is the case. This is how my head is at this moment, and at this moment nothing is possible. It may go in future, but in this moment headache is there.". Don't resist.
Allow it to happen; become one with it. Don't pull yourself separate, flow into it. And then there will be a sudden upsurge of a new type of happiness you have not known. When there is no one to resist, even headache is not painful. The fight creates the pain. The pain means always fighting against the pain - that's the real pain.
Jesus accepts. This is how his life has come to the cross. This is the destiny. This is what in the East they have always called fate, bhagya, the kismat. So there is no point in arguing with your fate, there is no point in fighting it. You cannot do anything; it is happening. Only one thing is
possible for you - you can flow with it or you can fight with it. If you fight, it becomes more agony. If you flow with it, the agony is less. And if you can flow totally, agony has disappeared. You have become the flow.
Try it when you have a headache, try it when you have an ill body, try it when you have some pain - just flow with it. And once, if you can allow, you will have come to one of the deepest secrets of life that pain disappears if you flow with it. And if you can flow totally, pain becomes happiness.
But this is not something logical to be understood. You can comprehend it intellectually, but that won't do. Try it existentially. There are every day situations. Every moment something is wrong.
Flow with it, and see how you transform the whole situation. And through that transformation you transcend it.
A Buddha can never be in pain; that is impossible. Only an ego can be in pain. Ego is a must to be in pain. And if the ego is there you can transform your pleasures also into pain;
if the ego is not there you can transform your pains into pleasures. The secret lies with the ego.
With grace & peace,
