Suffering abides in weakness. That is all there is to it. Be it of any kind, any kind of suffering indicates weakness in the person, whether it's emotional weakness or intellectual weakness or weakness of health or weakness of anything. Any, any weakness is the cause of suffering. In this practice when the awareness is widened the resistance to unfoldment of pure consciousness—these resistances-- they disappear. The resistance to the unfoldment of pure consciousness is like the clouds hiding the sun. The sun is shining, it's there, only due to the clouds the barrier comes in between us and the sun and we fail to see it. Pure consciousness is there, pure intelligence is there, it's there already it does not have to cultivated. Only the resistances for its cognition, the resistance for its full utilization in the daily life, those resistances have to go. And these resistances are stresses and strains.
