 Having terrible toothache. The tooth is going through pain in between a lapse of few minutes.When a pain-killer is taken, the pain disappears for a few hours, then re-appears. If during this time I go asleep, no question of pain. If I don't go in sleep and I'm waking, xmyx mind doesn't tell me 'there is no pain'. This 'me' / the working mind that identifies itself with the body-conditions of pain or no-pain keeps changing forms. This working mind is phenomenal and has nominal formal existence where-as the Consciousness where from this emerges that phenomenal and nominal formal mind emerges out and where-into the same merges back stays unaffected. though giving this enabling this phenomenal and nominal formal mind a flux-like existence. If my attention does not sway-away from the Consciousness that is the ground and source of this phenomenal being (mind), and I can with or without effort remember and firmly abide into that Consciousness the pain or no-pain condition is just irrelevant. ....
