HAPPY BECAUSE OF KNOWING EVEN IF THE EXPERIENCE IS PAINFUL

See this content in the original post

Yogi: I’m happy when I see pain because I see it rather than be angry there’s pain in the body. Pain is natural; when there is a body, pain is bound to arise.

Sayadaw: Why are you happy when pain arises?

Yogi: Because I see it.

Sayadaw: Because of knowing, you’re happy. You’re happy because of knowing, not because of the object.
