Suffering makes us capable of the full force of the Master of Delight; it makes us capable also to bear the utter play of the Master of Power. Pain is the key that opens the gates of strength; it is the high-road that leads to the city of beatitude.
Sri Aurobindo

Even when one has climbed up into those levels of bliss where pain vanishes, it still survives disguised as intolerable ecstasy.
