Who likes to SUFFER? Certainly not me, but sometimes you just has to take it and get it over with. You have to enter fully into suffering like a God damn son of a ****, even if you think, feel or believe you are innocent or you deserve better.
You are probably wrong, but who gives a ***? When you are burning, you are not seeking band aids in a shy manner anymore.
You want a fucking bucket of water or a pool or something to end it!
So, when I'm feeling like that I'm reminded of this fella:
Upasni Maharaj
Not exactly handsome nor popular, Upasni told everyone who was willing to listen that they should "be as it may" and be content with whatever they had, whether it's a bucket of honey or a bucket of ****. He even said that one should try to ENJOY IT for in that manner one would have plenty of pleasure.
Not the average cutie advice from the benevolent Tushita dweeler that lives in the constant bliss of nirvana and regards all phenomena as illusory and your suffering as folly and/or your well deserved karma.
For a warrior-traveler on the path of the Spirit in a planet of insane PSYCHOS that will either bite your head off or send you the nastiest of vibes in your general direction for no reason whatsoever it surely is a very USEFUL and REALISTIC advice.
And when I'm rather PISSED by the general demeanor of people, so-called seekers, seers, naguals, buddhas and siddhas (yes, they piss me off too) I'm reminded of a line of Tilopa's song of Mahamudra:
"Have compassion for those who suffer constant anxiety!"
So my general recommendation to people wanting to grow is to NOT join the general **** fest, practice A LOT of acceptance and spend more time with the people and beings that you LOVE.
Or as someone wiser than me said: "Don't let those bastards get you down."
