Dear Mohanji,

 

Namaste. Thank you for the quote. Swami Paramanandaji's works are very terse but enriched with wisdom and experience. Even the titles are very inspiring.

 

On pain the following are my favourites;

 

Pain is the hands of nature

sculpturing man to greatness,

although the shaping God's

tremendous touch

is torture unbearable to the mortal nerves,

the fiery spirit grows in strength within

and perceives a joy

in every titan pang.

 

- Sri Aurobindo in "Savitri"

 

Also Rumi says,

"Journey towards God even if you be lame or crippled in spirit, to wait for healing is to loose time."

 

This saying of Rumi is featured in one of Swami Paramananadaji's books.

 

However we should not wallow on our memories of pain but pray to God to give us the strength that we may learn the lesson(s) and move on.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.
