Ananta clarifies that while pain is an inevitable part of the human experience, freedom lies in the loss of the ability to suffer by remaining as untouched awareness without desiring any specific outcome.

In this realm there will be pain, but you will lose the ability to suffer.
Freedom is not having any desire for a specific outcome.
Let the one who is appearing as life also take care of life.

Father, could I speak now please? I just want to say, in the last few days there have been lots of pretty painful experiences. And when I first came to Satsang, I was going to say, 'Oh, this happened and that happened,' and then 'I was this and I was that.' And as I've been sitting here listening to you, I just realized that through all these painful experiences, there's been no suffering at all. There's just been peace. And the pain is felt—I have felt pain—but there's no suffering. And there's little things that happen, but it feels like they'll just dissolve and sort themselves out.

Strong emotion might come up sometime; it might seem painful. If you're not even to judge whether it is coming, it is going, what is happening, because it is all God's problem. It is all the Satguru's problem. So let the One who is appearing as life also take care of life. Yes?

Then you are completely open to the pain also. Completely open. We have this idea that one who is free will not say 'ouch' from pain. It's not like this. That's just another mind trick. The pain can come, the 'ouch' can come, anything—all of this can come. But you as awareness are completely untouched by it. Like I was saying earlier, if you have no desire for any outcome—you know, many of us are still waiting for the outcome of a free person—if you have no desire for any outcome, that itself is freedom. Freedom is not...
