Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
pain and pleasure are not two different things ,all pleasure and pain comes through mind, now the mind is the ultimatum to understand the both!. when its about worldly things (pleasure i!.e!.cause)the mind goes off (sleep), now you cannot think about any of your routines, you have become unconscious about the presence!. the understanding of the presence is very limited, the unconscious status is the root cause for the worldly pains(effect)!.so, don't go to sleep, instead be aware!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Once you have grasped the truth that the world is full of suffering, that to be born is a calamity, you will find the urge and the energy to go beyond!. Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up!. If you do not want to suffer, don't go to sleep!. You cannot know yourself through bliss alone, for bliss is your very nature!. You must face the opposite, what you are not, to find enlightenment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

thats an interesting quote,
it shows relativeness in my opinion,
there is no pleasure without suffering,
for example if you live a luxury life and get used to it, then it'd be hard to come back to real life and real world,
so if you dont want that hard feeling then dont go to that luxury!.!.,Www@QuestionHome@Com

So to experience pleasure and be happy (happy = sleep) you must be aware that you will wake up (be unhappy)

So to avoid suffering, dont look for pleasure!.!.!.or if you do, don't let it put you too sleepWww@QuestionHome@Com
