On the voyage of life, there is a smooth sailing. The vehicle one drives is under optimum control. The roads and the overall environment are providing excellent path and all expected convenience. One feels that this is the gala time of life. One’s own movement to get ahead on the voyage could be a part of a Race, but when the inner feel of God’s touch is there, it is Grace. The feel of happiness becomes the way of life. One feels the fragrance of the spring of life and virtually walks on the petals of roses.
Uncertainty and change is the unavoidable and immortal truth of life. As an inevitable part of life journey, all of a sudden, an unforeseen speedbreaker breaks down one’s vehicle. An unimagined situation happens which is so difficult for one to digest. Sudden unexpected storm shatters the beauty of one’s spring of life. It could be loss of a near and dear one, unthinkable betrayal or anything completely never thought of or an unfavourable situation.
People try to console you, try to help you out to get over that difficulty. But as it is rightly said, “No one can save us or No one may, if one doesn’t have the willingness to walk on the path on one’s OWN”. People can help only to re-balance your vehicle, but to cross over the speedbreaker; one has to start the vehicle again to move on in life’s journey.
In tough times, one may get upset with God. One may start losing the Faith in the Infinite Intelligence. But all that one needs, to get over the difficulty is to develop a positive approach towards it, to align oneself with the logic of Infinity. When God solves your problems, you get faith in his abilities but when God doesn’t solve your problems, it means he has faith in your abilities. Pain and sufferings come to awaken one’s greatest Self, to make one understand the perfect lyrics of lifesong and ultimately to make one strive to become a better and a stronger person.
God’s magnificient effluence is the panacea for many tough times. One gets closer to God, one’s OWN SELF, during the difficulties. The Inner power and utmost faith in God keeps one alive. One lets the difficulty feel that it’s difficult to stay here. Through the tough times, He/She attains more serenity and divineness. One feels that I need to be happy with my luck and that let one feel lucky. At the end, one who experiences and gets over difficulties are the chosen and closest to God. Remember, God’s wish and human efforts together can conquer any fault in one’s stars.
After all, pain and sufferings PURIFY THE SOUL. One would never strive to find out a SOLUTION unless and until one has not encountered the PROBLEM. In the same way, when in tough times nothing seems workable to make one PEACEFUL and CALM as far as sensory world is concerned. It expands the horizons of one’s intellect and mind to SEE THE WORLD WHICH IS TRANSCENDENTAL, THE PEACE AND HAPPINESS which is IMMORTAL. One clearly GETS IN one’s consciousness, the UNBREAKABLE and IMMORTAL LAWS of INFINITY OF INFINITIES to UNDERSTAND where did one get OUT of TRACK OF THE UNIVERSE and WHY all things turned out in A WAY one NEVER EVER EXPECTED. One starts understanding CHRONICLeS of TOUGH TIMES. Ultimately, the QUEST converts into the COMPLETE AWAKENING OF ONE’S WISDOM like A THOUSAND-PETALLED LOTUS HAS OPENED UP IN ITS FULLEST BEAUTY. Everything starts unfolding its TRUE NATURE INCLUDING ONE’S OWN. One perceives the PURPOSE of LIFE. It knocks upon the doors of HEART which had ALREADY been closed because of PAIN, opens it UP and lets the vital essence of ONE’S TRUE NATURE of COMPASSION, SELFLESSNESS, FREEDOM, HAPPINESS and PEACEFULNESS flow NATURALLY.
It becomes the FIRST STEP on the JOURNEY from IMPERFECTION to PERFECTION, from EGO to SELF and FROM ISOLATION to UNITY, from IGNORANCE to KNOWLEDGE, from CONSCIENCE to CONCIOUSNESS, from SUBJECTIVITY to OBJECTIVITY, from SELFISHNESS to SELFLESSNESS and ULTIMATELY BOUNDNESS to FREEDOM.
As it is rightly said by LORD BUDDHA, “SUFFERINGS lead to HAPPINESS”. So Let us ACKNOWLEDGE SUFFERINGS. LET it BE FELT to its END. Let TOUGH TIMES GET US CLOSER TO GOD.
