You know,
Our souls can face anything,
Truly.
And the journey is uncomfortable.
Oh man,
Physically,
You know,
Night time.
You know,
Night times are the university of the Sufi.
It's sort of like,
Don't complain about this stuff.
That's what the journey's like.
You know,
We're not having Ian crumpets together.
This is the highest level spiritual work you can do.
Right.
Right.
And it's love.
It's love being expressed through our human forms in our lives.
That's it.
And this is a good support.
This process,
Satsangs,
Coming together,
Strengthens our hearts,
Strengthens the truth in us.
Sort of like little kids coming together to sing.
And as they sing songs together,
They learn,
You know,
They learn.
Might have songs about animals or numbers or whatever.
They're all learning,
Singing.
Aha,
The comprehension dawns.
It will just add up week after week after week.
And your own efforts,
Of course,
They're crucial.
You know,
Amma says,
Wise people need to be fearless.
You know,
It's really simple.
We just decide to be truer.
And then grace comes in behind us.
That's how it works.
You guys are my beloveds.
You truly are,
You know.
And if you just get very comfortable with any suffering you have to do,
So you're up all night.
Oh,
Well,
You know,
It won't kill you.
You know,
None of these things kill you.
So,
You have an anxiety attack.
But,
Well,
Really have that attitude.
Like,
You can face anything,
Okay?
Truly.
Truly.
And most of this,
Like,
You know,
Once you get really comfortable with the journey,
You,
This stuff doesn't take a toll.
So,
You know,
If I'm ever up all night,
I have a fine next day.
I don't have any fatigue.
It's like,
It's okay.
Because I'm not resisting it.
Do you understand?
I'm not going,
Poor me.
I haven't slept.
Or I have this ache.
But I'm not doing any of that.
So,
I'm,
I just,
Really,
I can be up all night.
If I'm up all night,
It's like,
The next day,
I'm fine.
I'm 72.
Okay?
So,
Remember this.
Please remember,
It is our arguing with the pains or the anxiety or discomfort.
It's that we're arguing with it that takes up all our energy.
Let's just be with it.
It's the way it is.
And you'll get your ticket out of it.
