A true seeker of liberation stays as detached from pleasure as he does from pain says Shivi Verma
Most people come to spirituality when they are facing a hard time or seeking answers to their questions. Were there no problems, mankind would be busy enjoying the fruits of this Creation and having a gala time. However, he also runs the risk of becoming decadent, selfish, and mindlessly indulgent in a scenario such as this.
Karma apart, pain gives the much needed depth, patience, resilience, and empathy to a person, without which the human journey would stay incomplete in its purpose. Becoming a fully rounded person can be a journey of several lifetimes. The stories that tumble out during past life regression sessions reveal that humans don’t die a complete death at the time of passing. They carry a lot of sorrow, regret, guilt, attachment, or a sense of victimhood in their auric bodies while passing over. These remnants compel them to come back in order to fill these gaps and complete the journey. However, since the earth plane makes them forget their purpose and their past lives, pain actually acts like a reminder, a needle prick of awareness, making them wake up to the hard reality of life. Most people get angry, or like to complain about the hardships they are facing. Since our senses and mind are directed outwards, it takes huge blessings and good karma to earn the ability to look within and take responsibility for our life. Otherwise, we are doomed to repeat the cycles of death and rebirth, until we finally decide to wake up—which may not be soon enough. Fortunately, those who take the trouble to introspect, and connect with spirituality can see the bigger picture of life. They develop a lot of forbearance, tenacity, and optimism in the face of difficulties. They know that pain has a larger purpose and refuse to wallow in self-pity. They learn to detach from suffering and see it for what it is. A karmic payback, an important life lesson, or an opportunity to heal mental or emotional baggage. They continue to do good karma and do not return hurt with more hurt.This attitude aligns with the purpose of human birth: to become better, evolve higher, and grow stronger. When one walks steadfastly on the path of life with their eyes open, seeing the compassion of the Divine even in trouble, pain, and hardships, there comes a point when the karmic backlog begins to diminish. The stars begin to align in their favour. They begin to attract abundance, joy, and wish-fulfilment. Success begins to kiss their feet. Happiness, love, appreciation, and warmth enter their life as keepsakes. You might think that once this point is reached, the goal is accomplished and all is well in paradise. But a true seeker knows that just as pain is a trap, so is material and emotional abundance. It’s easier to lose sight of your purpose when surrounded by riches and success than when shackled by pain and problems. This is where most seekers of liberation tumble and fall, including the great sages. One needs to keep reminding oneself that just as pain is an illusion, so is pleasure, which is rather a far more dangerous one, because it’s effortless to lose yourself in it. The intelligent will see the riches as a gift from God, which will be taken away the moment ego and entitlement set in. They surrender doership and maintain a strict vigil on their inner world even when surrounded by power, fame, and luxury. They keep offering everything back to God. And when their time comes, they enter the gates of heaven, only to never return.
