Body Basics... Discomforts of the body are a reality. I cannot escape that. The degree, duration and type of discomfort may vary but it is very much an integral part of my existence. If I exist and if I derive comforts from this life, discomforts also are bound to be there. I have to accept them as real and true. Without any judgments. Why me? Or, how it can happen to me, will not help me. Everyone goes through physical pain and problems. Some less and some more. It is just a relative term. I remember the thought process of a famous writer. A man's suffering is similar to the behaviour of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative. I see around me examples of this. Just a look at some one’s physical disability or pain or discomfort tells me that it is all relative. I must make all possible efforts to remove, avoid or reduce my physical discomforts. Ultimately, they start interfering with emotions. But in no way should they intimidate me. Nor should I keep thinking and worrying about some future discomfort. It will come and when it comes, I have to pass through it. Monu I am fine
