Know that the pinch of disturbance in your mind is the cause of the sum total of anything in the world. An enlightened person is more sensitive, and can feel another person's pain when passing by (and even if he doesn't pass by). When Jesus walked and saw somebody suffering, not only did that person suffer but the Jesus also suffered along with him. Everyone's pain is the pain of God. Everyone's joy is the joy of God. That is why we sing, 'Jo dhyave phal pave, dukh vinshe man ka, sukh sampatti ghar aave, kashta mite tan ka, Om Jai Jagdish Hare. Bhakta jano ke sankat kshan mein dur karein, Om Jai Jagdish Hare.'
Coming into the Divine form, your sorrow, problems and difficulties vanish in a few moment, if you're totally present and that is why everyone comes into the spiritual fold or path. Because the moment you come in, something happens and you find that an opening appears and all misery vanishes. But, after a while you get used to it and you think it is part of your duty. You get used to it. You sneaky mind, which was hidden, comes up again and starts dominating you. Don't be trapped by this mind.
If you pray to God with all your heart, (dropping the sorrow which simply means hanging onto the past) then whatever you desire will be given to you.
Spoilt children are always crying. Whatever the mother does to please them they will continue to cry. Their mothers give them toys, toffees, etc but they will not be satisfied. Finally, the mother gets fed up and let them cry on and on. One starts finding joy in crying. Masochism starts here. It should not be encouraged. At the same time, I am not saying one has to be hypocritical when one feels tears coming up. You don't have to be into mood-making; be authentic. Whenever your mind is restless and disturbed (in vikshiptau) the different practices of samadhi help to stabilize you. Doing the different practices settles your mind, and knowing that you are well established in your Self, you go deeper into your Self.
