Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up.
If you don’t want to suffer, don’t go to sleep.
Nisagardatta Maharaj Consciousness and the Absolute 112-114
Once you have grasped the truth that the world is full of suffering, that to be born is a calamity, you will find the urge and the energy to go beyond. Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up. If you do not want to suffer, don’t go to sleep. You cannot know yourself through bliss alone, for bliss is your very nature. You must face the opposite, what you are not, to find enlightenment.-Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
