Q: In our world, man suffers the agony of this world, and in the spiritual world, the spiritual agony, which is much harsher than the pains of our world. How can one agree to replace lesser pains for greater pains?
A: Spiritual pains are pains of love, pains that are linked with the question, “What more can I do for my love?” They are called “sweet pains.” These pains never diminish; they exist so you can feel the pleasure of giving, the adhesion with the Creator.
