I AM THAT 57 - Beyond Mind, There Is No Suffering
Beyond Mind, There Is No Suffering Pain is physical, suffering is mental. Beyond the mind there is no suffering. Pain is merely a signal that the body is in danger and needs attention. Suffering is due to clinging or resisting. It's a sign of our unwillingness to move on with the flow of life. In other words Pain is a physical sensation, while suffering arises in the mind. Suffering does not exist beyond the mind. Pain simply signals that the body needs care. Suffering, however, comes from clinging or resistance—it reflects our reluctance to flow with life’s changes. Or another way to look at this.... Pain belongs to the body; suffering belongs to the mind. When we rise beyond the mind, suffering disappears. Pain is simply a messenger, alerting us that the body needs care. Suffering, however, is born from resistance and attachment—a sign that we’re struggling against life’s natural flow. Freedom comes when we let go and move with that flow.
