Why do we suffer?

The priest is suffering, Christ didn’t suffer.

You can crucify him, kill him, shred him.

He won’t suffer.

It’s simple — There’s nothing left to suffer.

Of course there would be lot of pain, extreme pain but that inner suffering, that simply cannot happen. It’s almost like a technical thing — How do you kill a man inside a house, if the man is no more inside the house?

The house is there, the man has vanished. Now, you can keep burning the house or crucifying the house, the man won’t suffer. That’s the thing with the innocent one the man within the house is the guilty ego, the house is the body and the mind complex. The house well you can do anything with it, you can raise it to ground, you can hack it down, whatever. But there is nobody inside the house now left to suffer, therefore there can be no suffering. But that, you see, is a one in a million case, so no point discussing it. It behooves us to rather discuss our own condition than to speculate about the inner state of a Christ. So we will suffer.

The question now is not why do we suffer, the question now is — Now, that we do suffer what do we do with our suffering? That’s a more relevant and useful question. We do suffer, what do we do with our suffering?
