on suffering … (02/17/09)
The suffering we experience in life comes not from our pain but rather from our struggles to “get better” (or “attain success” or “arrive at our goal”). The answer to that suffering, then, lies not in finding better ways to “get healthy” or “be happy”, but rather in accepting that where We allReady are is our SUMMIT — that in every moment, we have truly Arrived …
With this mindset, there is nothing left to accomplish or realize. We are Alive and there is only to BE — to BE Humble, to BE Appreciative and to BE Generous (generally in that order) …
In the Moments we make such selfless choices (and that is all they are; choices that require no effort or preparation), we Know only JOY and are truly Power-full in all the we then DO …
This is what it means to “Let Go and Let God” — the God mentioned being not some external force to placate or obey, but rather our own Soul’s guidance to simply follow …
It is literally impossible to be sad or angry or frightened while selflessly serving others.
And this is our true “path of repentance”; our true re-turning to the innate Divinity that comprises who we all truly Are …
No more mountains to climb; merely paths thereupon to enJOY …
No more goals to attain; merely generous actions leading thereto …
