All Suffering Is Only A Story
Video -    • Sri Bhagavan - All Suffering Is Only A Sto...  

Seeker Question: Sri Bhagavan, When we experience suffering, is it that our perception undergo a change or will we land up in a state where there is no perception? What exactly happens？

Sri Bhagavan:
First thing is you've got to understand that all suffering is only a story. A story is what is causing the suffering. So by merely understanding it's a story is not sufficient. You must know what is the story. So you must stay with the suffering into the next stage. When you stay with the suffering, the suffering will tell you its own story, which would be very surprising to you, you would not have expected that.

For example, many years ago I knew a young man who was studying at IAT. He later on became a very big scientist.  IAT as you all know has the cream of India. So while doing his physics there, he developed a tremendous amount of lust. So he began to do yoga. Lust would not go. Then he began to do many other things, but lust would not come under control. This was the condition in which he was. So whatever he was trying, he could not control this lust and that was affecting his academics. That was his suffering.

So when he was made to experience that suffering, first by making him stay with it. What happened was, the story came out. The story was, this person hated experimental physics. He was all in love with theoretical physics, but he was dead against experimental physics. He just had no inclination. He had love for mathematics and all the abstract concepts of physics. That was his fascination. And he would not like to waste his time on experimental physics.This dislike motivated hatred for experimental physics manifested as lust.
 
Whenever you are involved in some work which you do not like, which you hate, then lust becomes too much. Because then you are doing if for survival sake and you always have a fear of survival.

Because he knew that he might fail in experimental physics, which means he would fail in his MSc (master of science), which means he might not become that scientist he wants to be, which means his survival is at stake. His whole survival is in becoming a great scientist. That was shaken. 
 
So when survival is threatened, lust would automatically go up. They have a close link. Lust, survival and security are closely linked. When that is threatened, it will automatically go up. Suppose you are playing in the share market and your shares are coming down, you will see the lust is going up. Suppose you engage in business and your business is failing, your lust will go up. Always failure which leads to a threat of survival, lust would automatically go up.
 
So this became very, very clear to him. Then he had the courage to stay with the suffering and then also experience it. So it began to reveal itself the story and then he knew, "this is it, is it?" 

So then what happened?  He suddenly developed a love for experimental physics, because he knew this lust was connected to his dislike for experimental physics and he said, "OK, I'll put a little more effort", and then he did that and the lust disappeared. It came down to normal proportions and of course later on he became a world famous scientist also.

So the story gets revealed. That's why we talk in terms of created problem and real problem. So whenever you tell us "this is our problem", we know that it is a created problem.  The real problem is something else.
 
So how to get there, stay with it? First, understand everything is only a story. In reality there can be no suffering, because when you experience reality as it is, there is only joy, there is only bliss, there is only love, no matter what it is. But you do not experience reality because your mind is all the time interfering and what is the mind? It is all the time judging, it is commenting.

Why? Mind is nothing but the flow of thought. What is thought? Thought is measurement. It compares yesterday with today, today with tomorrow, him with somebody else. All the time it is comparing. It is measurement. Thought is an instrument of measurement. Constantly measuring, it is. So when you are measuring, suppose here is a vase, you must look at this vase not be measuring it in terms of its color or size, or shape.

But the mind is nothing but the flow of thought and thought is from the past, and past is memory, and memory is dead.
