💧 It is suffering which makes us conscious of a higher force.
That is true, in many cases it is like that and that is the apparent justification of suffering. If human beings did not suffer, per- haps they would never make any progress. Aspiration is quite lukewarm when one is perfectly satisfied.
Now then, here we are quite muddled up! Well, this is an exact example of the way the human mind functions; and after that there are people who have caught the tail of something and are so satisfied with this tail, they say, “I have the truth, and you ought to believe what I tell you, otherwise you will never get out of it.” The fact is that in the state of your thought at that moment, anyone at all could come to tell you “I have the truth”, and you would be happy to catch on to it to come out of your confusion.... Let’s see, we have two minutes, and during those two minutes we won’t speak, and all our confusion will disappear. Then we shall disperse. So, do not talk, try to be as silent as possible for two minutes.
