There are mainly two types of pains we suffer from, emotional pain and physical pain and every being who has consciousness, be it animal, plant or human has to go through the pains of this Human body or the pains of consciousness. When you are not conscious being, you are dead and life stops flowing through you, then you stop feeling those pains. So if you have consciousness, you have to bear pains. Even when Lord Rama was born, he was aware of his existence, he still had to go through the pains of the human body he incarnated into. Everyone has to handle the fears and have to feel the helplessness and vulnerabilities of this existence. We keep suffering a lot, I do not have this, my loved one has died, my friend cheated upon me, he lied to me, I have a back pain, head ache..so they are both emotional and physical pains. You cannot avoid these pains as I said earlier. We suffer from these pains a lot and we cannot control pain which is inevitable but you can stop your suffering the moment you decide. The sufferings end when you stop identifying with pains. You are here to play the role, if you keep identifying with the body, who will identifying with your real self, that is much beyond the life you are living. You are born here for the purpose and your work is to move toward the purpose not to get stuck and start identifying with that. Its like when you are watching movie and you feel you are the character and whatever is happening to the character is happening to you and you start crying, identifying with pain is same. When the movie is over, your pain also gets over. So your life is not yours, its a stoppage and a path and you cannot identify with the character you are playing. If you will get stuck with the character, it would bring more pain as you will be stuck with his emotions and you would lose sense of real self and in medical terms you would be declared a mental case, or in higher terms you can say, if you keep identifying with the character and you stay embroiled and illusioned and this brings more pain densing the illusion and you can say you are playing around like a mental case. However, if you stop identifying with the pains and understand who you are, you will not suffer with the pains of the character.
