Suffering

"Who is it that loves and who that suffers?
He alone stages a play with Himself;
who exists save Him?
The individual suffers because he perceives duality.
It is duality which causes all sorrow and grief.
Find the One everywhere
and in everything
and there will be an end to pain and suffering."

~ Anandmayee Maa.

Liberation

In Liberation, you stand alone. You stand alone because you need no supports of any kind. You need no supports because you have realized that the very notion of a separate you no longer exists; that there is nothing to support; that the whole ego experience was a flimsy illusion. So you stand alone but never, never lonely because everywhere you look, all you see is That, and You are That.
