We suffer for the sins of others, as others suffer for ours. Humanity is one. Ignorance of this fact does not change it.
Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy.
When the mind is engaged in serving the body, happiness is lost. To regain it, it seeks pleasure.
The urge to be happy is right, but the means of securing it are misleading, unreliable and destructive of true happiness.
Do not try to make yourself happy, rather question your very search for happiness.
Because you are not happy you seek happiness in pleasure; pleasure brings in pain and therefore you call it worldly.
You then long for some other pleasure, without pain, which you call divine.
In reality, pleasure is but a respite from pain. Happiness is both worldly and unworldly, within and beyond all that happens.
Be aware that whatever happens, happens to you, by you, through you, that you are the creator, enjoyer and destroyer of all you perceive.
This attitude of silent observation is the very foundation of Yoga. You see the picture, but you are not the picture.
What is born and reborn is not you. Let it happen, watch it happen.
Why exteriorize? Surrender to your own self, of which everything is an expression.
Go on, go beyond. A thing recognized is a thing transcended.
