Pain

Hinduism: Bhagavad Gita

“Alas! we are engaged in committing a heinous sin, seeing that we are making efforts for killing our own kinsmen out of greed of the pleasures of sovereignty. If the sons of Dhritarâshtra, weapon in hand, should kill me in battle, me weaponless and not defending (myself), that would be better for me. Having spoken thus, Arguna cast aside his bow together with the arrows, on the battle-field, and sat down in (his) chariot, with a mind agitated by grief.”

Buddhism: Dhammapada

“Let a man leave anger, let him forsake pride, let him overcome all bondage! No sufferings befall the man who is not attached to name and form, and who calls nothing his own.”

Zoroastrian: The Venidad

“O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! Which is the first place where the Earth feels sorest grief? Ahura Mazda answered: 'It is the neck of Arezûra (the narrow passage between the worlds of darkness and light) whereon the hosts of fiends (lies personified) rush forth from the burrow of the Drug (literally the house of the father who invented falsehood).’” (In other words, the Earth experiences the most pain and sorrow at those places and in those instances where falsehoods are able to break out of their bounds and flood it with lies).

Judaism: Hebrew Bible/Lamentations

“Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day. The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.”

Christianity: New Testament/Gospel of Matthew

“Now Peter sat in the courtyard of the palace: and a young woman came up to him, and said: ‘You were with Jesus of Nazareth.’ But he denied it in front of all of them, saying, ‘I don’t know what you’re saying.’ And he moved to another porch, and when he did another woman saw him, and said to those standing around, ‘This guy was with Jesus of Nazareth.’ And again, uttering an oath, he declared, ‘I do not know the man.’ A little while later, those who were around came up and said to Peter, ‘You’ve got to be associated with them; your accent betrays you. Then began he to curse and swear, saying, ‘I don’t know him.’ And immediately the cock crowed. .And Peter remembered then when Jesus had said to him, ‘Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times’. And he went outside and wept stinging tears.”

Islam: Qur’an/Surah 79

“By those who drag forth to destruction, By the meteors rushing, By the lone stars floating,  By the angels hastening, And those who govern the event, On the day when the first trump resoundeth. And the second followeth it,  On that day hearts beat painfully While eyes are downcast, (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state  Even after we are crumbled bones ? They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.  Surely it will need but one shout, And lo! they will be awakened. Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ? How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa, (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled - And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ? Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). And he showed him the tremendous token. But he denied and disobeyed,  Then turned he away in haste, Then gathered he and summoned, And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.  Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.”
