IT'S IN THE MIND

Pain
I had a chance to live with a group of tribal villagers in Madhya Pradesh in Central India. I myself saw them give birth to babies with no pain, no assistance, no medicine, no attendant, no doctor, nothing! Without any fuss, they give birth to kids and take care of themselves too.
I was shocked. I asked them, 'How is this possible? Don't you experience any pain?' Their response was, 'Pain? Why should we have pain?' The very idea of pain does not exist in their lives! Let me repeat: the very idea of pain is not there in their lives.
When that word or idea is not there in your mind, you don't suffer that. We suffer only that which we recall, remember or repeat again and again. Anything which is again and again repeated by you, recalled by you, becomes reality. That becomes a solid truth, a reality for your Being.

When you heal, you enter into joy, into your being. When you enter this space, you heal; that is why you do not incur the karma of the patient.
