Over all, Vipassana taught me to make do with the omnipresence of pain or physical discomfort in my life: my shoulder here, my feet there, my bloated stomach, etc. “Everyone always feels some sickness here or pain there” as Goenka elaborated in one of his evening discourses. “So what”? Just observe it, remain equanimous in the face of it, i.e. keep mental and emotional composure and neutrality as much as possible, and focus on what matters to you.
