The Seven Steps of Self-Realization Volume IV Step Seven. Sri Paramahamsa Yogananda

Один врач произвел себе самому большую операцию по поводу перелома, находясь в очень радостном condition.
Therefore, my opinion is that pains or physical pleasures are not caused by stimuli or sensations, but arise through feelings, imaginations or mental habits, which are born from the environment or from inherited influence. Just as bad habits are inherited, so is pain awareness given to people from their ancestors. Just as in ancient times it was believed that the earth was flat, so modern man has inherited from his ancestors the belief in pain sensations, for they were not strong enough in psychology to prevent sensitive mentality or to believe in an increase in mental pain.
AT Индии вообще думают, что употребление мороженого может вызвать простуду. A friend of mine from India always caught a cold when he ate ice cream in the winter. Arriving in America, he was surprised to see that Americans ate ice cream in the winter and still did not catch a cold. He tried to follow their example and indeed no longer showed any signs of the disease, which had always come due to his beliefs. Countless examples of such self-suggested complications can be cited in every person.
Pain is a delusion created by man
Being created in the image and likeness of God for joy, we should not have to endure pain. They first of all manifest themselves in a person as a slight desire to warn oneself of the approach of an inconsistent sensation in order to protect the interests of the body. Later, pain ceases to be not only a good friend or leader for a person, but turns into a real ruthless tormentor that causes tears to flow.
This inherited fallacy in relation to pain brought forth fears and self-suggested mental sorrow, just as the idea of ​​an invisible spirit makes a child tremble and cry in fear and horror. Mind человека под наркозом не может создавать болей, однако верно и то, что сильный ум может отметить негармоничные ощущения в теле при этом, хотя и не ощущает созданных болей. Therefore, the Spartan system of education and the teachings of yogis about discipline and bodily endurance do not mean methods of self-torture, but they seek to reduce the suggestibility of pain through the development of the ability to counteract the mind.
Sorrows created by imagination
Sensitivity is the main cause and mother of all pains and mental sorrows. For example, the discordant physical sensation of a splinter in the foot produces a painful idea, just as the inharmonious thought of losing a friend or loved one creates sadness. Some sorrows created by imagination cause more suffering than great pains created by bodily sensations. I knew a man who died out of excruciating grief over the loss of a loved one. He ate, walked and talked, but soon passed away. He died out earlier than his rapidly progressing disease would have caused him. He died without any physical illness.
For this reason, it is wrong to acknowledge the pains or to sympathize with the human sensitivity that creates unhappiness, for this reinforces the illusion of pains and sorrows. ATсе ошибочные мысли прежде всего нужно преодолевать посредством ума, затем и тело преодолеет их. The Bhagavad Gita says that one should not submit to the vagaries of cold and heat, but one should overcome them by mental control. The Bhagavad Gita does not recommend being reckless by forcing a person to put his hand into the fire or lie down on the ice without clothes. Through final analysis, however, it is found that the body is nothing but materialized consciousness, although it is designated within the boundaries of the human mind, which is in disagreement with God. Since both fire and ice are materialized Cosmic Consciousness, they cannot be the cause of body suffering. Until the human soul breaks out of imaginary, man-made barriers, it will never be convinced that every thing is Spirit and condensed consciousness.
A financially sensitive person should avoid recklessness. He does not need to apply methods that, although they may be effective, can also kill him. The cure should not be stronger than the disease. He needs to train gradually. First of all, he needs to come to the conclusion that exposure to a draft cannot cause colds. He needs to practice using less fuel to keep warm. He should never be afraid to go out into the fresh air. He must know that the snow and the scorching sun are nothing but the materialized Divine Consciousness, that they are the same as his body. Then he needs to consider that these equal forces cannot hurt his body. He must make sure that nothing else exists but life, and that pain sensations are only created to allow one state of consciousness to influence another state of consciousness.
Pain arises from identification, just as a mother sympathizes with her child when some misfortune happens to him. So the mother-mind sympathizes if any complication arises in the body. He transfers his suffering to the body and vice versa. However, another person who is a witness to the above incident will not feel any of the sorrows that oppress the mother of this child. Compassion or identification causes pain. You need to be neutral in this regard and not get excited. However, this does not mean that one should not pay any attention to what happens to the body, nor should one think that attention paid to the treatment of the body would be contrary to the interests of the body, but one should not feel pain.
Immutable properties of the Spirit
The mentally sensitive person is easily hurt in his outward contact with people and is often offended in conversations. He gets offended and says: "Ah, times are bad. Ah, I read between the lines of Mr. John's speech, arguing with him, and ah, he insulted me terribly." AT то время как жизнерадостный человек, понимая житейские пути, назло всяким преследованиям имеет обыкновение создавать теплую душевную улыбку и продолжает любить своих сотрудников всегда.
Irritations and sensations of cold and warmth or bodily wounds must be perceived by the mind only as concepts. The mentally sensitive person trembles just at the idea of ​​a very cold night, or sweats at the very hot summer day, or trembles at the thought of a very easy operation. A person must be created courageous to pain, because in his body there should not be noticeable the presence of material-corruptible, vulnerable, changeable properties, but only the unchanging, invulnerable properties of the Spirit. It is impossible to hurt consciousness without accentuation. It is very difficult to insult a person who is always smiling, who is wise and considers all insults addressed to him as a result of ignorance. He does not let his mind know or recognize the inharmonious thoughts of other people. He-knows that the process of knowing the ego and every suggested offensive thought can only penetrate through feeling. A thought can never be offensive until it is overwhelmed by feeling, i.e. consciousness cannot affect consciousness without conscious recognition. A certain sensation in the body, being inharmonious, creates pain, but this does not mean that it should be given the opportunity, thanks to a weak mentality, to successfully create pain sensations.
Feelings, mental troubles, hereditary habit of being offended, lack of spiritual training, ever-increasing sensitivity and nervousness cause pain. Continuous sensitivity feeds pain sensations and creates mental sadness. On the contrary, a strong mentality, which cannot be shaken by the storms of events and mental visitations, remains unstained, always radiant, always tearing away the veils of ignorance and destroying the appearance of painful sensations.
As awakened immortals who breathe ever living life and primordial happiness, let us destroy through endurance and physical and mental discipline this terrorist rule of the imaginative ruler of painful sensations. God created man and He created joy. Man has created pain sensations, and he must again know joy in order to be like God again.
Suggestion to overcome pain
When painful sensations are created in the body from cold or heat, injury or illness, remember the following:
one. ATаш ум не создает болей при умственной рассеянности или глубокой ментальной занятости. When you are under the influence of chloroform, you do not feel pain, because the mind is busy with other things and is not influenced by the senses.
2. Pain is your friend, it alerts your body to danger and is not painful. Use appropriate medicines to prevent disturbances in the body, but do not give in to painful suggestions, allowing the mind to identify with the bodily condition. Pains are short-term and they have borders.
3. Dissipate your mind when you have pains by turning it more to work. Be calm and don't live by sensations.
4. It is very good to be friends with people of strong character who do not give in to pain.
5. The best way to overcome sorrows is to know that they arise from identification. Sorrows cannot be conquered by sorrows, but only by joy. We tend to succumb to some sorrows, but do not let sorrows linger too long, for this will rob you of your most precious spiritual treasure - eternal bliss.
Re-review
To eliminate sorrows and suffering, you first need to know their causes. Gradually, you need to learn to rise above these sensations. Страдания возникают от идентифицирования с органами чувств, что производит ego. Irritants of cold and heat come into contact with the endings of the nerves and are carried along the nerves by means of nerve electricity as sensations. After feeling originated in the body as an immediate response to the contact between the senses and matter, it manifests itself as consistent or inconsistent with the bodily state,
