Is love is a thought or suffering is a thought?

There’s all these various kinds of suffering, not only personal but sufferings of whole of humanity. People have excepted it.

People have excepted that love is part of suffering. When a person love someone it’s bringing of suffering.

So why can’t we question together whether it’s possible to be free from all suffering and when there’s freedom from suffering in the consciousness of each human being then that freedom from suffering brings about a transformation on consciousness affects the whole of mankind suffer. That’s the power of compassion. And from that suffering act neurotically and try to escape from that suffering through various forms of religious, intellectual, social work and so to escape from it, is it possible for everyone, every human being to be free from this enormous burden of suffering?

Where there’s suffering, there cannot have love, that’s the real truth, the dharma is, as when a person love somebody where she or he does something which is totally disappointing and the person suffers and shows that you don’t love, so now try to see the truth of it. How can I suffer when my wife or a girl or a girlfriend who throws me away and go after someone else,and people suffer. And people get angry, jealous, envious, hateful, and at the same time they say I love my wife!!! Or my girlfriend. And I say such love is not love. So again I question is it possible not to suffer? And have enough love?

So let’s find out what’s suffering is?

When there’s physical suffering headaches, operations, accidents, malformed bodies, suffering from various unfulfilled desires, there’s suffering from the person who you think you love. So what’s the structure and the essence of suffering? The essence of it but not various forms of it. Is it not the total expression at that moment of complete self centered existence? I’d it the essence of the me? The essence of the ego, the person? The limited, enclosed, resistance, existence which you all calm the me, the form, the name, all that, when there’s an incident that demands investigation and understanding insight that very incident brings about the awaking of the me the essence and that I call suffering.

So if there’s no me, would there be suffering?

So suffering then is the expression from the me, which includes self pity, loneliness, time to escape, trying to be with someone who is gone, all that implies which is the very me, which is the past. The image of the past which is me. The knowledge, the remembrance, the past memories which is me.

So what relationship the suffering, the essence of the me to love? Is there’s a relationship between love and suffer? Is love put together by thought? Where as the me is put together by thought!

When we look at each other, what are we looking at?

What are you seeing? What am I seeing?

Am I seeing you with an image which I have about you, or you are seeing me with an image you have about me?

The image is the past! So therefore, a person look at me, with the memories, associations, experiences, the knowledge about me, which is the image the person has. Therefore, the person is really not looking at me, why should it be? As the persons image is what looking at me; or, rather, through the image, the person looking at me.

So, therefore, do we look at anyone with fresh eyes or with the past? People say it is difficult to look at people with fresh eyes. Why should it be difficult? It is difficult as people like to live in the past. I have hurt you, I have said something brutal to you, and you remember it, and next time you meet me that remembrance comes forward. I might have changed but you have that memory, so you are looking at me with the image which you have, through your past, which has come about through the insult or through the hurt, or through pleasure, so you can never look at another afresh. And, it is only when you can look at another afresh, there is an understanding, there is real relationship.

What if we look things in fresh eyes, will things change?
