“The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.”
“You will bring yourself the suffering you need to bring yourself so that you may awaken.”
“And remember, you shall suffer all things and again suffer: until you have sufficient sufferance to accept all things.”
“Perhaps watching someone you love suffer can teach you even more than suffering yourself can.”
“The ego says, ‘I shouldn’t have to suffer,’ and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It is a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering before you can transcend it.”
“There are times when you don't know yourself. There are times when you don't want to know yourself. There are times when you want to be what you have never allowed yourself to be before.”
