76. 7. Transcend the tendency to
avoid the fear of pain.
Let it pass through you like the
wind through the reeds.
Don’t close over it; open up to it,
but give it room to pass.
77. If the avoidance of pain is the
reason for your actions…
…every one of those actions
will have the power to inflict
pain upon you.
78. If you react to pain by
closing ranks around it…
…it will remain within you.
79. If you close around
something…
…you will be psychologically
sensitive to it
for the rest of your life.
80. When your life is no longer
run by fear of pain…
…you will be free
to be happy.
81. There is an ocean of love and
peace and serenity
within you.
