For ordinary man pain is no pleasure

 

For ordinary man pain is no pleasure, 
for kishan pain=pleasure ,

he is in even state always, nothing hurts or harms 
i was told mukthananda of ganeshpuri got surgery done without anesthesia, he felt no pain

But one cannot imitate other. 
especially we should not / cannot imitate the evolved person and try doing what he does 
episode of master shankara charya is a lesson 
he took liquor, and shishyas followed and took with relish 
then, in his sojourn, he took hot molten metal offered by a person, 
now shishyas got flabbergasted and were flat at his feet 

the teaching of any saint cannot be just implemented .
some master says ''be a good human , do this do, not do that, ''
followers know that , every master says the same 
but they are not able to imitate and implement readily 
why
since they have not got the ability to implement 
''smoking is injurious to health, do not smoke'' is the advice from all the great masters
and smokers also know this by heart, and can repeat it parrot it 1000times , 
but they will not stop smoking
why 
because they ----cannot-----stop smoking 
so all such advice of dos and donts is just a waste exercise

what is required is to train the person to learn and gain that capability , so that he does it with ease, since thru that training he now is capable , so now he can do it and so will do it , will implement in life

Similarly if a saint is taking pleasure out of pain , his advice to others to take pleasure out of pain will be disastrous and foolish and dangerous ,as like mukthananda , a common man cannot undergo surgery without anesthesia , if he tries, he faces torture, hell , he may die out of pain also .
so all the good books all the advice , despite available in millions and tons, no benefit is coming, except time pass 

only the rare masters train a few systematically, step by step, guiding fully and make them gain the abilities , and gain the mastery as themselves over sustained practice over years
