completely aware of the present. Through consciousness and surrender, we
end the suffering. We accept suffering to enter a place of inner peace
which is often veiled behind the egoistic mind. Pain and suffering takes
us a step closer to enlightenment. Acknowledgement and acceptance of
pain body can take us to a higher level of consciousness away from mind
modulated thoughts. According to him, we are the key to enlightenment.
