00:00 Sometimes we have thoughts which cause us pain, we can call it a painful thought.

00:04 We understand this but we are not able to overcome these thoughts.

00:07 Pain is unavoidable. Pain is the very fact of life.

00:11 The question is, what is it that you suffer the pain for?

00:15 Suffering is. Suffer for the right cause. That's the best you can do.

00:19 The solution to suffering is not a state of no suffering.

00:23 The solution to suffering is right suffering.

00:25 And to complete the story I would say, if you suffer rightly,

00:30 then slowly your tendency to suffer keeps reducing.

00:35 And probably, potentially, one day you can come to a point where you don't suffer.

00:40 Do not allow yourself to be habituated towards the wrong things.

00:45 The past is of very little value compared to the present.
