Don’t allow suffering to have its way

“Don’t allow suffering to have its way. Most people meekly submit to mental pain because it seems to be so persistently powerful. Nonsense. Agony is nothing but a bluff and a fake and a liar. Call its bluff and it will sneak away like the cruel coward that it is. But don’t fight it, for that only increases its energy. Instead, right in the middle of the pain, practice self-release. Let go of all your usual efforts to chase away pain. Truth will do the rest.”
