0:02 hey dr. Shefali so Paige is asking what is the purpose of painting everybody has pain but what's its purpose well on many days it seems like pain is the purpose of life because pain abounds right pain is part of life the Buddha said life is suffering so what is its purpose is a pin to the purpose of life itself it's to evolved to grow to learn how to go deep within and trust

0:36 most of our plane is cause because we believe we're lesser than or we believe we're not loved that we believe we're not worthy that's where pain comes from so every time we're in pain we're now challenged to go deep within ourselves to find worth that is oceanic and to find esteem that is limitless and to find in a trust but that is unfathomable because all pain is caused when we are severed from these elements

1:36 you're not helping me so I hate you right now because you're making me feel hateful from within but really the spiritual metamorphosis occurs when you realize that you are in this moment of dearth and famine and stalk emptiness because you haven't cultivated your own inner connection to eternal worth eternal love eternal divinity from

2:07 within so we're asking the others to give it to us and when they don't we feel pain the spiritual reason for being is to enter Worth and divinity from within and when you do you evolve
