Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
Without sufferings there cannot be any progress in spirituality. Unless we undergo the suffering we do not develop patience and tolerance. Tolerance first with our own self and later with others. Without these qualities there is no spirituality.
Sometimes when we are deeply involved in our own suffering we forget the fact that the master is with us helping us continuously. We might think that we are lost but master never leaves us. He gives us an assurance that he is with us. The assurance comes to us through different ways. Some times it comes directly also. This gives us the confidence that the master is always with us. This helps us in developing confidence in the master. So the suffering has helped us to move more closer to the master. Each suffering will have a lesson to learn. If we do not learn the lesson the opportunity given by the master is lost. Of course master gives us opportunities again and again until we learn the lesson.
