Accepting the Suffering Is Happiness

A man asks how to be at peace with suffering, wondering if it has any meaning. Rupert replies that suffering is indeed meaningful for the one who suffers. Awareness by itself doesn’t suffer; it is only when awareness coalesces into a finite mind that suffering begins. It is natural to resist suffering; if you accepted the suffering, it wouldn’t be suffering, it would be happiness.
