Free Of Pain

Narrated by Daniel “Avi” Avinash

In this poem, Khalil Gibran condenses the hard truth about pain and its importance in our lives. It is only through pain that the shell that encapsulates “understanding” is broken, and you experience the much needed understanding. Unfortunately (or fortunately!), to grow and mature, and eventually become wiser, there is not other path but the path of pain and suffering.

THE PROPHET
This poem “Pain” is the sixteenth of 26 prose poetry fables from the seminal book, “The Prophet”. In this book, poet Khalil Gibran talks about a fictional prophet Al Mustafa who had been waiting twelve years in the city of Orphalese for his ship that was to return and take him back to the isle of his birth. He is then stopped by a group of people, with whom he discusses topics about life and the human condition.

Facts about “The Prophet”:
1) Translated into more than 100 languages making it one of the most translated books in history
2) Has never been out of print
3) Amongst the best selling books of all time – after The Bible and Shakespeare’s collections.

Pain (1923) by Khalil Gibran

Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its
heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart in wonder
at the daily miracles of your life, your pain
would not seem less wondrous than your joy;

And you would accept the seasons of your
heart, even as you have always accepted
the seasons that pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity
through the winters of your grief.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the
physician within you heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink
his remedy in silence and tranquillity:

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided
by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips,
has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter
has moistened with His own sacred tears.
