HOW PAIN LEADS TO KNOWLEDGE AND POWER SUFFERING leads to perfection through successive stages of knowledge-not knowledge from books, but knowledge of life-and each step in knowledge means that some form of suffering has been transmuted and transcended. A particular kind of pain, experienced innumerable times, at last leads to a knowledge of the cause of that pain, and when the cause is discovered, removed, and not again entertained, the pain is for ever transcended. This principle is applicable both to physical pain, which is caused by disease, and to mental suffering caused by wrongthinking. When the cause of a disease, is known, it can be avoided, and the disease and its pain can never attack us. The cause of certain forms of disease is known, and the prudent avoid the cause and so escape the disease. The causes of many bodily disorders, however, still await discovery, and until such discovery is effected, the disorders will continue. #JamesAllen [See: James Allen] #AudiobookGaming #Suffering #Knowledge https://youtu.be/HrM8y91f6Ac
