On hardships and gratitude




Based on my personal journey through life, it is the hardest blows, pains, setbacks, failures, disappointments that have opened me the most, and led me to what I experience as a beautiful blossoming of 'my' being, through perception and experience. For this I am deeply grateful.

Of course, I'm also grateful for all the good, pleasant, delicious, pleasurable, passionately inflamed experiences, for they are emanations of Divine bliss; totally priceless, miraculous.

And of course, I'm grateful for the water, the air, the electricity, the food, the wifi connection, the roof over my head, the functioning of my bodily vessel and its senses, the friends, the relations, the acquaintances, the past, and this now, this now...

May we all be One with our bliss.

ps: In the realms of incarnation, as well as in the dimensions of soul, light always leads to darkness, and darkness always leads to light.

The pursuit of happiness leads to suffering. The fall into the suffering leads to bliss.

Thus the wheel goes on spinning. And the wave goes on flowing in spirals.

Only by falling into my center, the heart within my heart, neither attracted nor repulsed by this or that, am I truly being one with my Source.

This falling isn't something I do, or achieve, or attain. It is done. I've no merit, absolutely none.

Thus, I am grateful, truly, deeply grateful.
