**What Life Is and How We Lead It ** RH

Love ceases to be pleasure
When it ceases to be a secret

Beautiful sharing Rajesh ji

Life is a rhythm of opposites. The breath comes in and goes out: between these two
opposites -- ingoing and outgoing -- you exist. Suffering is there, happiness is there.
Happiness is just like the ingoing breath, suffering is just like the outgoing breath; or day
and night -- the rhythm of opposites. You cannot say, `I will live only if I am happy.
When I am not happy, I will not live.' You can take this attitude, but this attitude will
make you suffer more.
No one chooses suffering, remember. You ask why man has chosen to suffer. No one has
chosen to suffer. You have chosen not to suffer, you have chosen to be happy, and you
have chosen strongly. You are doing everything to be happy and that's why you are in
suffering, why you are not happy.
So what is to be done? Remember that life is total. You cannot choose -- the whole life
has to be lived. There will be moments of happiness and there will be moments of
suffering, and both have to be lived; you cannot choose. Because life is both -- otherwise
the rhythm will be lost, and without rhythm there will be no life.
