PLEASURE & SUFFERING

This entire creation is there to give you pleasure and relief. Whatever gives you pleasure should also give you relief. Otherwise, the pleasure becomes a pain.

- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

This world is here for your enjoyment. Patanjali was very clear about it. The beautiful sceneries are there for you to look at. The good food is there for you to eat and enjoy. The whole world is here for you to enjoy, but while enjoying, do not forget your Self. You are separate from the scenery. This is viveka (wisdom).

Prakaasha kriya sthitisheelam bhootendriyaatmakam bhoga apavargaartha drishyam.

The Seen world is illuminated. Each thing gives you a message. It gives you an idea of how great the consciousness is. Every aspect in this world is an expression of consciousness and everything is active.

Prakaasha means manifesting. Everything has manifested out of consciousness.
