We triumph over life’s inevitable
challenges not by the exercise of willpower or brute force but by tapping into
the power of the Infinite. Many paths lead to our ultimate awakening, and most
begin with spiritual discomfort wrapped in fear. Sickness (our own or a loved
ones), addiction, financial stress, a failed relationship and death (a loved
one or contemplating our own) are all beginnings, for truly “the only
instrument sharp enough to cut away the excess of self is pain.” The
greatest gift we can give ourselves is a foundation in faith before these
assaults on our serenity begin. The pain and discomfort of dealing with the
ultimate questions of living will not be avoided, but we will have a clear-cut
set of directions to follow out of the wilderness to peace of mind and heart.
To follow this path we must set aside our preconceived ideas and don a new pair of glasses and “Become quick to see where spiritual people are right and make use of what they offer.” Laying aside our prejudices we listen and learn with our heart, for in the end, isn’t finding a way out more important than who provides it? If you were drowning and a rope appeared before seizing it would you first question who held it? So, we put aside any lingering prejudice against any spiritual path and make use of what they have to offer, taking what we need at this time and leaving the rest (remember, this selfishness is God inspired and is part of our growth) and join them in “trudging the road of happy destiny.”
