We often believe we suffer without reason, yet there must be something that brings us to suffering. Every action has a reaction. We have forgotten the original action and do not understand the reaction we now experience. Furthermore, every reaction itself becomes a new action, which will in turn produce another reaction. Thus, we are lost in this cycle. We no longer know if our present state is the original action or merely a reaction to something forgotten. Consequently, we endure much suffering we cannot comprehend, though there is undoubtedly a cause for it—a reason that neither I nor anyone else can readily answer. That answer lies far behind the immediate cause of the reason. Only the Self, through meditation, can discover what that original cause might be. --- Recording location: New Zealand, Wellington, World Peace Tour
