Do we have to suffer and feel pain to grow spiritually?
I was child when everyone around me was an adult. All I heard was how their pain inspired them to pray, be religious or do religious acts and meditate. I thought to myself, how will find I GOD? I have no pain or trauma.
More dramatic the life experience, deeper the need was to turn or find something that will bring them solace. Years have passed and most of them are still trying to find it. In that era, I was all brain and science and was trying to deduce GOD and religion. For years I kept asking and wondering how will I find GOD? Will I ever be able to close my eyes and experience what these people narrate?
Growing to be an adult was pleasant but being an adult was hard. Life did bring me my share of pain and trauma, and the temptation to escape the clutches of life but still, there was no true solace. The drama of life was making me dance and despite the meditation experiences, there was no true shift.
Desperate… I called out O creator, I cry out to you, o divine help!!
I seek and beseech you. You are the only boat that can save from me drowning the ocean of life.
At that moment, wisdom and clarity opened the doors of my mind and hit me like a light
It was not the pain of life that will bring me closer to my path or higher awakening. The pain that will open to our own higher awakening is the pain of separation from HIM-The Almighty Creator.
Pain Pain – I let you go I let you go I let you go
I have fed you, nourished you, cherished you, and even embellished you
But You are not the wheels I can drive my life with
I let you go I let you go
I have met my true pain-and it doesn’t make me a victim.
It makes me seeker with the moxie to find my inner joy and love.
Pain Pain – I let you go I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go I let you go ……..
