Troubles are not in our control. They get created for us naturally. At any step of life, we may have to suffer pain.
Yesterday, I was slowly running on the road which was somewhat broken. That time, I imagined as if one of my legs gets tangled with the other, and I fall down on my face.
I deeply felt that pain, the pain over the face, the chin and chest being rubbed over the road, the wound on elbows and knees, everything I felt as if it was real.
From such an imagination, I thought as if I could now bear the real pain very easily. From then, I have been practicing for other troubles that can originate anytime, and making myself ready to suffer as by doing so, a big trouble too would be familiar to me and I'll be having the power to bear it.
