The next function of pain is the organisation of the vehicles.
from: Pain makes the man exert himself, and by that exertion the matterof his vehicles gradually becomes organised.
If you want to develop and organise your muscles, you make efforts,
you exercise them, and thus more life flows into them and they become strong.
Pain is necessary that the Self may force his vehicles into
making efforts which develop and organise them.
Thus pain not only awakens awareness, it also organises the vehicles.
It has a third function also. Pain purifies. We try to get rid of
that which causes us pain. It is contrary to our nature, and we
endeavour to throw it away.
All that is against the blissful nature of the Self is shaken by pain out
of the vehicles; slowly they become purified by suffering, and in that
way become ready for the handling of the Self.
It has a fourth function. Pain teaches. All the best lessons of
life come from pain rather than from joy.
When one is becoming old, as I am and I look on the long life behind
me, a life of storm and stress, of difficulties and efforts, I see something of
the great lessons pain can teach.
Out of my life story could efface without regret everything that it has had of joy and
happiness, but not one pain would I let go, for pain is the teacher of wisdom.
It has a fifth function. Pain gives power. Edward Carpenter said,
in his splendid poem of "Time and Satan," after he had described
the wrestlings and the overthrows: 'Every pain that I suffered in
one body became a power which I wielded in the next." Power is
pain transmuted.
Hence the wise man, knowing these things, does not shrink from
pain; it means purification, wisdom, power.
It is true that a man may suffer so much pain that for this
incarnation he may be numbed by it, rendered wholly or partially
useless. Especially is this the case when the pain has deluged in childhood.
But even then, he shall reap his harvest of good
later. By his past, he may have rendered present pain inevitable,
but none the less can he turn it into a golden opportunity by
knowing and utilising its functions.
