Pain manifests through mind, and pain is only possible when nufs holds sway. When a hand is cut, a unity has been broken; when the natural movements of the body have been obstructed, a unity is broken. Every pain shows absence of unity, and love shows presence of unity. In unity is all strength.
Pain is only possible when breath does not reach a part. But breath cannot force itself to any area of the body or mind; it must be directed by will, which is nothing but heart.
