Pain doesn’t always have to be a negative thing. It’s important to feel the pain of others – both that which we have caused and that which we haven’t – because it can inspire us to how much more we need to be doing.

My father used to suggest that his students visit homeless shelters or children’s hospitals. If you can’t find the time in your schedule to do that this week, think of someone in your life you know is in a dark place right now and really meditate to feel where they are coming from.

It’s only when we start to feel the pain of others that we will be shown by the Light how to help them.
