We All Suffer
Albert Schweitzer had once indicated that the happiest times
are when you are in good health and in bad memory. He was quoted by Tamohar, my dear friend from
Florida
First of all, he began to explain, that some people enter a
spiritual domain with unrealistic
expectations.
Suffering continues for people as a residual effect from karma in the
past. As we sometimes hear Christians
say, 'Accept Jesus and all your sins will go away.' Now that may happen but it may take some
time.
It cannot be assumed that you go, 'Abra Kadabra' and, poof,
all that's negative has disappear. Krishna
states it very clearly that the physical world in which we live is wrought with
dualities-- extremes. What we need to
consider is that the spiritual process that we have adopted offers us the tools
whereby we can learn to maturely accept difficulties. We learn how to cope. And when we exercise COPE there will be HOPE
and we'll never have to say NOPE.
You will never have to refuse a challenge, which may come in
many shapes or forms. The mature way to
receive a challenge, or oncoming suffering, is to say, 'Here is a test that the
Universe (God) is giving me, and for all the wrongs I've done I deserve much
worse.' This is a healthy attitude.
May the Source be with you!
