What are pain and pleasure?
What is sadness? There was a desire to get something from someone; it was not fulfilled. Wise people say that expecting to get happiness from someone is the main reason for being sad.
What is happiness? happiness is the name; happiness cannot be found from others; real happiness is within us
Look carefully at the structure of your life.
What you call the world in the field of ego. It gets its strength from suffering; you can experience it at any time.
When you are sad, then you are confined to your room. If someone is seen laughing, then you feel that he is laughing at you. He says something; then it seems as if he is talking about you. If someone comes and sits close to you, you feel that he is making fun of you.
When you are sad, then you are filled with ego. When you are sad, you are completely confined, and you are confined to your room only when you control your ego, then you do not like anything. On the contrary, when you are happy, you spread, go to friends, and throw the party. You like everything. You do not find anyone's laughter useless; in this situation, the ego becomes weak.
Just think, if your ego disappears, then what will happen to your misery? What you call the world is the world made by your ego. Just pay attention to the nature of the ego, it shows you a lot of dreams of happiness, but you cannot get happiness if a dream. If it breaks, it starts showing 10 dreams. Why don't you remember the days of your childhood, when you were a child, you used to think that if you get something like toys you will get happiness. But when you grow up, you find happiness in other things. Your ego never fulfills by things.
If you are unemployed, you see your happiness in getting Job, and when you get a job, your job becomes the cause of misery. If you are single, you see your happiness in marriage, and when you get married, you create misery from your marriage life. These all things happen due to ego.
What is a person doing from childhood to youth and from youth to old age? If we get this, then we will get happiness, and if we get that, then we will get success, man is running after happiness, but his ego is never satisfied. It is happening in the desire to get more, a person puts his precious body at stake, yet his desire never ends.
Remember, as much as you try to fill yourself with things from outside; you can never fill yourself. The world can run you with the help of things but can never give you anything to feel full.
Have you ever noticed that till the time of death, man's desire does not leave him; you are looking for happiness in this world, which is the main reason for your misery; what you are looking for is inside. It is not outside.
See, when you are sad, then every thought increases sadness, and when you are happy, every thought increases happiness. Thoughts of happiness or sorrow are both of the same nature because you are restless in both these situations. Do pay attention, the way tears come from your eyes in sorrow, in the same way tears come out of your eyes even when you are pleased; understand this fact that happiness also has its pain, and those sorrows also have its bite. You can't stay in these two positions for long.
What happens in the early days of the relationship and the later years? The same two people who used to feel like living in heaven with each other and then the same people do not even want to see each other's faces. When you buy a new house or a new car, how happy are you and then what happens that after a few days it becomes a minor thing and there is no happiness or any success attached to it. The reason is that happiness cannot stay for long attached to anything.
The reason for this is that happiness and sorrow also consume energy, so you run away from sorrow, pay attention, you run away from happiness when you stay for a long time without running with sorrow and happiness, now you become a Sufi.
Understand this fact that happiness and sorrow are opposite to each other; where there will be happy, there will be no sorrow, and where there is sorrow, there will be no happiness, but both arise because of each other; whenever you experience pain, and pleasure. You never be identified. Only you observe it. When you start observation, then you overcome pain and pleasure. Observe yourself very carefully; in such conditions, your mind, body, and soul how to react.
