Is it Okay to Suffer? || Acharya Prashant
Transcript
00:00 Gather some courage. Open up to your own hurt.
00:02 Admit that you are suffering and that is not a sign of weakness.
00:06 The day you open up and acknowledge your sufferings is the day you are standing up to your suffering.
00:12 What's worst is when we refuse to acknowledge that life is really bad for us.
00:18 That's the worst we can do to ourselves.
00:20 That's a sign of deep cowardice, weakness and lack of faith.
00:25 The moment you say, "Yes, it is bad. Very bad."
00:27 How is it? Smile and say, "Very bad."
00:30 There is no reason to keep uttering to others, "Oh good, good. I am doing good."
00:34 With a smile say, "Yes, I am hurt, I am vulnerable, I am beaten, I am bruised.
00:38 There are so many wounds. It pains everywhere. Life is not good."
00:42 And I say that with a smile, "Life is not good. Life is not good.
00:45 But I have not been finally beaten because I have not yet surrendered. I have faith."
