Embracing Suffering: The Path to Focus and Maturity

Staying with suffering transforms negativity into joy, revealing the secret of focus and maturity.

### Embracing Suffering: The Path to Focus and Maturity
* 🧘 To truly grow, one must learn to **stay with their suffering and boredom** instead of rushing to escape it.
* 💔 "When you're sad, close your room and feel sad; start to cry and **taste the whole sadness**, allowing yourself to **fully experience your emotions**."
* 🌈 By consuming and understanding your sadness, you can eventually transform it into joy, learning to turn **"poison into nectar."**
* 💖 This process enables you to **empathize with others' suffering**, breathing into their pain and offering blessings, thus **converting negative energy into a positive force**.
* 🌌 Recognizing that **nothing is permanent** helps maintain maturity and focus, as you understand that both **happiness and sadness** are part of life's cycles.
* ⚖ A balanced life involves acknowledging both negativity and positivity while maintaining your center, much like the **pivot of a seesaw** that keeps it in motion.
* 💪 Taking action, even in difficult times, strengthens your resolve and helps you cultivate focus, which is **essential for spiritual and material growth**.
* 🕰 Ultimately, focus is crucial because a lack of it can lead to **depletion of your efforts**, reminding you that **being present is key** to navigating life's challenges.

Can you stay with your suffering? Can you stay with your boredom when you're feeling down? Why are you rushing out of it? Can you just say, okay, this is it, I am with it? You are introducing yourself to what is the focused state of being.

Staying with something: that is the secret to focus. First, you're resisting, but I don't want this, but you keep on. But then you learn how to stay with an action; that is where your maturity is happening. So, Adisha says, when you're sad, feel your close your room and feel

sad, start to cry, start to taste the whole sadness, taste that whole depression which is overwhelming you, and you will notice how you're resisting it, but you be with it. You just consume it completely; you go through that experience, and a point comes when it shifts and it starts to become a joy, and

once you realize that, now you know how to turn poison into nectar. So, in that, the technique is then, once you are able to do that, then somebody is sad, you breathe into your heart, their suffering, and give out a blessing. Now you have become that tool of Life which

takes any energy and converts it into positive energy. You're not forcing positivity; you don't see negativity as negativity. You see it as cosmic energy in a different frequency, and you're converting it into an organic frequency. It is suffering from the plastic frequency of the human mind,

and you're taking it and converting it into an organic frequency. Here in that healing, you don't need to give people plastic ideas to deal with it. The only way to deal with it: you stay with their suffering. Nothing lasts; that is the good news here. So see how far it takes you.

Because we want happiness permanently, so we're afraid this will be permanent. So, once you touch the root of it, you will start to see that shift is happening. It happens every month, around an hour. You go through deep; you think, "This is it, now finally it is over." But

next morning, wow, what is it? Is the same energy going to rest and cancel everything you have known till now? And next morning, it's giving birth to new things. The only mistake you shouldn't do: don't think this is eternal; this also will go through a cycle. So this

keeps you mature, and that maturity is the focus. That's what I told in yesterday's book: you are distracted by negativity and positivity, but to maintain your needed action in a given moment constantly, and also see there's positivity, there is negativity—this is what Balanced Life is.

Balanced Life does not mean that you're always static and nothing bothers you. This is—everybody is bothered by everything—but a mature person knows this is part of the dynamics of life. This will keep on happening, but you are maintaining the center of that pendulum,

that you know what—a seesaw, what you call it, children's seesaw. And what is running the seesaw? It's the center. You can think this one is running or this one is running; no, it's the center which is running, and that's the master seat, you

know. So I know it's very difficult when you are suffering or when you are high to maintain your normal action. Now you say, "Oh yes, I'm going to be the king!" Now you're frivolous; little things, you don't care, and

Same thing. When you're depressed, you don't want to do all this; you don't have the energy to do it. But if you can really just do it, you're giving yourself a spine for the first time. Your action can give you spine, and for that you have to

realize the secret of action and your presence with the action. That's where the role of focus is. Can you be focused with your action? If you can take everything out and just start to work on focus, you will understand all spirituality, materiality, because all is

happening now, but we are not here. So focus is very important because I have seen so many people learn so many beautiful things. Lack of focus depletes it; it's gone. The mind overtakes again. But what if this sat... what will happen if I do this,

what will happen if I stay in the present? Who will take care of my life, as if you've been taking care of it till now? Tell me what you have done till now. It [Music] [Music] happens for...
