Here's some references:

I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35)


13:31-35 Christ had been glorified in many miracles he wrought, yet he speaks of his being glorified now in his sufferings, as if that were more than all his other glories in his humbled state. Satisfaction was thereby made for the wrong done to God by the sin of man. We cannot now follow our Lord to his heavenly happiness, but if we truly believe in him, we shall follow him hereafter; meanwhile we must wait his time, and do his work. Before Christ left the disciples, he would give them a new commandment. They were to love each other for Christ's sake, and according to his example, seeking what might benefit others, and promoting the cause of the gospel, as one body, animated by one soul. But this commandment still appears new to many professors. Men in general notice any of Christ's words rather than these. By this it appears, that if the followers of Christ do not show love one to another, they give cause to suspect their sincerity.

John 13:34 Commentaries

If you want to take it seriously:


Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."



and for the illiterate 'following' means doing as he does.

I think Jesus said:
If I don't mind it don't matter.

Suffering ends when association with outcomes ends
Association ends, delusion ends

We may still feel the pain, however ... but we no longer mind it

That's probably true but it's not a fair competition since you have not been here very long. The longer you are here the more likely you may sin here or there. That's probably true of life as well, and reincarnating. The longer you are at it, the more chances you have to mess up.
