NO USE BEING FIXATED ON PAIN

Nadiad
Feb 6, 1961.

Dear Ben,

Your decision to bear the pain with love as much as possible and not get fixated on this daily occurrence of pain is the right one. It is one thing to have pain but worrying and getting fixated on it makes it even worse. I like your decision a whole lot.

Spend more time doing the naam-smaran. Only then you will feel its support and protection in your heart. Any soul that has felt the support and trust of God in his heart will never have a break down from any kind of pain or suffering. The trust that develops from heart, in the heart and with the heart makes us strong. This gives us such a tremendous support in our lives that we never feel lonely or alone.

My two cents --  This letter was addressed to a swajan who was having lots of physical pain every day.
