- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- And a woman spoke, saying, tell us of pain.
- And he said:
- Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
- Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
- And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
- And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
- And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
- Much of your pain is self-chosen.
- It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
- Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility:
- For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the unseen,
- And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the potter has moistened with his own sacred tears.
