A drop in an ocean
A drop cannot be greater than the ocean,
yet when viewed i the correct way contains it.
The only righteous pleasures are the love and joy of the spirit.
Worldly pleasures are selfish and therefore evil.
The supreme deity is a mystery of love, wonder and awe.
When we embrace these things we embrace them.
So what then of suffering?
Suffering of the flesh is purification.
Suffering of the spirit is education.
