The clinging of mind is the cause of suffering. Suffering gives you clues to the ways you are clinging, and we make the nature of things our enemy. If you are going to be available for someone elses suffering you have to be able to acknowledge your own suffering.
Raghu -I just love these podcasts; evereything from your introductory preambles before Ram Dass’ main talks to the long forgotten cultural references (“far out”, “its a trip” “blow your mind”).Most importantly I can listen to them while running ro out walking, driving to work, as I go to sleep, etc. Thanks so much for this wonderful service!
