How Can I End My Suffering?

How Can I End My Suffering?

Anandagiri gives the answer

Bhagavan(Sri Kalki) once said that suffering is not in the situation, in the fact, but in the perception of the fact.

There is a common belief in the world today that we can transform a situation by changing it. That is called situation content. We think by transforming the content that we are going to be happy with it. But in reality the situation has nothing to do with your happiness or your sadness. It is in the way you look at the situation--the way you perceive the situation.

Very often when something has happened which you did not expect, which you don't like or appreciate, the situation has long passed but you still carry the situation inside of you. You are constantly questioning the situation with, "Why? Why did this happen to me? What could I have done differently?" And you try to offer many explanations as to why it happened to you.

You see, the suffering is not caused from the situation itself, but in the way you are questioning the situation, in your inability to accept the situation, and all the reasons you think this happened to you. It is impossible in the current state of the world, and with all the karma, that one can become completely free of all problems. Problems are bound to be there, for anybody and everybody--whether they be rich or poor, educated or uneducated, or of any class or location.

Problems can be there but there is no reason for one to suffer, because the situation--the problem--intrinsically does not contain any suffering. When you reach a level of consciousness where you can accept situations in life fully, by being alive to the situation, no matter what the situation is, you will be happy. Deeksha can help you reach that level.

Jesus Christ felt enormous love and compassion because his brain was wired differently. The Buddha was in the state of immense peace and tranquility because his brain was wired differently. If you want to feel that peace, if you want to feel that love, it's possible when the changes happen in the physical, gray matter of your own brain. When your brain is wired differently, then it's possible for you to experience that love and peace. That's what deeksha does.

There is not too much to explain about deeksha because it is not a technique. Bhagavan and Amma have not only given us the experience of enlightenment, but also have given us the capacity to give this experience to others through deeksha. It is an act of Grace. When deeksha is given, there is a neurobiological transformation which leads to love, peace, bliss--whatever you are really looking for, including an end to suffering.

Enlightenment, or whatever you want to call that state, is not a psychological process. It's a biological process. If it were a psychological process then surely by practicing a technique it would be possible to achieve. Since it's not a psychological process, it would be impossible to get there by using a teaching or a technique.

There is no singular definition of enlightenment, but the way we understand enlightenment is that it is a state where all suffering has ended--all psychological suffering, and all existential suffering. You live your life with no more sense of isolation. You feel a part of everything; you feel everything is a part of you. There is the experience of connectedness, and you don't feel separated from others. So when we speak of enlightenment, we talk of this experience where all division has ended inside, where the sense of separate existence is gone.

It is this enlightenment,through deeksha,that Amma and Bhagavan are trying to bring to people. When deeksha is given, you will find whatever you have been seeking.

How Can I End My Suffering?

Hi Shahid,

Beautiful insight. I get diksha myself as well. I
sometimes get the feeling that heavenletters does
something similar. God's words have power whether
spoken directly, or thru words typed out over the
internet. If one cannot receive diksha from a
practitioneer then reading the words of God act as
powerful replacement. Reading the words washes me with
the divine emotional and creative intention entering
my mind and changing it when I allow that to happen.
God speaks to us with love in jis words. I try to read
them with love in my heart and mind. Grace is given.
What a rush.

With love in my heart,
Robert

How Can I End My Suffering?

Dear dear Robert,

As always I appreciate so much your constant and deep appreciation of God's
words in Heavenletters.

God has said: "Give Me your heart."

And our hearts are given.

God says the same thing that is quoted here: <suffering is not
in the situation... but in the perception.> God has said it so many times
and so clearly.

The title of the article dear Shahid quoted was: "How can I end my
suffering?"

I favor C. M. Yogi's question under Personal Spiritual Journeys. C.M. Yogi's
question is rather: "How can I help to end suffering? for my country and the
world and the orphan children under my care?"

No one wants to suffer, but isn't C. M. Yogi's question closer to God?

We cannot just serve ourselves. And isn't every one of us, like C. M. Yogi,
here on Earth to serve God?

With love and blessings,

Gloria
