Firstly, growth happens in darkness, through pains and sufferings... A seed grows only in the dark, and even objects to growth, coz its entire identity is going to vanish... Thats the first step... Secondly, growth takes place in light, through painlessness and joy... But a problem happens... Since the seed-memory is there in the sapling, it thinks no growth is happening if there are no pains and sufferings - the sapling has got addicted to miseries, and finds it difficult to dance with the winds and sing with the rains... The painful growth happens till the first glimpse into ones own reality, the first satori, the first glimpse of enlightenment, the first taste of the eternal; and, after that, painless growth begins... Ascetics get stuck to the first step even after the first glimpse, mistakenly believing that only pain helps one grow... Ascetics begin suspecting their own growth if they are chilling out... Growth is such a beauty, such a paradox... The first step is anti-joy; and the second step is only joy... A true seeker should merge into both steps, and not choose one over the other... - Solo Sutras of Funlightenment # 17... :))
