Pain As The Teacher-The Gift


Pain as the marker, the light, the teacher, the inspiration for finding truth and love.  Surrender and pain are the guides for going deeper.  Without attachment, longing, and desire can one find the pain which unfolds the path.  Pain on all levels (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) is the gift.   The deeper the pain, the deeper the love.  The exquisite nature of love and its' ability to evoke transparency, acceptance, and "letting go" or the pain begins to pull at the heart.  A pull to open even wider, surrender, trust, and drop into the the unknown--the mystery of it all.   Gurudev, "It is all a cycle."  Nothing to hold onto.  Only the mind creates this illusion.
