Suffering - A Deeper Lesson
Feeling Irritatable, Feeling Low, Feeling like nothing no longer makes sense in life,
Feeling a void so deep that no sense pleasures is able to fill, Putting all these inside a cover and smiling and living like nothing happened ?
When someone asks how are you ? Replying with an I'm fine and going about life
Wake up , Work, Eat, Sleep, Pray and just like that the routine consumes you
One day you no longer want to Eat,Sleep,Pray or even Wake up
The body and mind shutdown and asks for a Deep rest
Does the above lines feel familiar ?
The Body and Mind is like your Mobile phone , it has all the cool features and runs consuming your time and energy , asks for your attention and always stays with you only until the charge is there
At 0 Percent Charge even the most expensive I Phone will not work what use is the specs and features ?
Now let's assume a scenario were from tomorrow there is no electricity anywhere and the whole world is at a shutdown forever , then how will our lives change think about it for a few mins : People would go crazy devoid of many luxuries,the mind would push some to even take drastic measures such is the dependence for many of us which go silently unnoticed.
That Source which charges our Mind, Body and Soul is the Divine , the Origin, The Creator of the Creator , we call her Divine Mother Adya some call her by various names according to their own geographical locations and beliefs.
When we move away from the source and lose connection to it we don't get affected immediately until the charge remains we flip,frolick and go about our lives until it slowly decreases , the life force also decreases leading one to face de-stability in life.
To Live Life Well you should either be completely deluded or completely realized when you're in the in between in the process of being woken up , you're bound to suffer , that is the cost we pay to be woken up while everyone else is knocked out in the Deep slumber.
But whether to suffer the suffering or accept and stay detached from it is your call.
We all came here with a baggage to clear to put down every single thing and go empty handed - the baggage of karmas but instead of going out and facing it we coop up in our own spaces with the luxury of Kaliyuga and hence end up burning them through suffering from Depression,Anxiety,Fear etc
Taking medications, Changing your Lifestyle all works but what you're addressing is the surface , connecting to the source is what relieves it from the core.
This should not be confused with the detachment which comes with higher states of realization, at that state you get everything you want what you touch prospers, what you think manifests, the world becomes your slave and yet you Choose not the World.
That Suffering is Your Deity Emptying your Baggage so that you no longer heave and struggle with its weight, sooner you empty it sooner you rise.
Water - Deep Slumber , oblivious of your own possibility as a Life on Earth
Fire - You begin to wake up and Realize there is something more to Life than what you're living right now
Earth-You stay grounded and connected to your deity while carrying your baggage with Grace.
Air- Your free from your Baggage and you soar high.
Space - There is no You , Only the Deity.
At various stages , we might face various kinds of sufferings,I know not as I am yet to experience the same but to say suffering is a way of life might not be an understatement, it is only because we want to avoid it we go through hoops and do all the circus of life , just like we face ourselves in the mirror if we could face our sufferings too then we could see the mist covering the path clear and the way forming right in front of us as we walk the path.
Remember if you're suffering your clearing the baggage to soar high one day, as the deity stays beside you watching you reach them, they may accelerate or decelerate the path whenever and wherever required because they know you better than you know yourself.
Trust in your Deity Always , No Matter What.
Don't just live life like in a Dream
Live Like the Creator of that Dream
