A message from BABUJI: Why Do We Experience Pleasure and Pain


"On planet Earth your human bodies change over the years. From a baby to a child, from a child to an adult, from an adult to an old person. 

Your scientists tell you that every seven years cells in your body die and new ones are born-so this means every seven years your body is completely renewed. 

However dispite these outwardly changes you still feel yourself inwardly to be the same person: THE INNER SELF DOES NOT CHANGE. When the outer body changes for the last time we call it death and at that time of death the inner self moves on to enter a new body. 

In the same way that an actor changes clothes to play different parts, the soul changes bodies to live different lives according to its samskaras and needs. In every life the soul tries to experience pleasure and avoid pain. This is because the soul is trying to regain its eternal, blissful nature but does not know how to do this.

This means that in each life you experience a frustrating mixture of pleasure and pain. If you can practice patience in the face of both pleasure and pain and the happiness and distress they bring with them you  will learn to distinguish truth, which is eternal, from illusion

I accompany you on your journey through the universe. Think of me as an old friend, speak to me about your worries and let me help you. I know your past, present and future and love you eternally and without question

BABUJI"
