The disciples were involved in a heated discussion on the cause of human suffering.
Some said it came from selfishness. Others, from delusion. Yet others, from the inability to distinguish the real from the unreal.
When the Master was consulted, he said, "All suffering comes from a person's inability to sit still and be alone."
Anthony de Mello, SJ
MORSEL:
Happiness is permanent.
It is always there.
What comes and goes is unhappiness.
If you identify with what comes and goes,
you will be unhappy.
If you identify with what is permanent and always there,
you are happiness itself.
-- Poonjaji
