Our supreme purpose in life is not to make a fortune, nor to pursue pleasure, nor to write our name on history, but to discover this spark of the divine that is in our hearts. —Eknath Easwaran
From my own experience, the spark of the divine that is in our heart is ever present, ever working for our benefit, and remains hidden, out of material sight and mind...until we see, we know, and we doubt anyway.
It is wholly counterintuitive, but it is that very doubt that is essential to our still more spiritual growth.
\We have come to believe, now we need to prove our belief...proof is trust, and trust is acting not talking and even less pondering. Trust never, not ever, comes easy.
The human condition, ego and I See Me are the Holy Trinity of our material world. That's another reasoning mind/counterintuitive punch in the gut.
We cannot fight them, we cannot resist them, we cannot make an end-run around them. We walk through our fear of them to welcome them. In short, we trust the spiritual principles that have proved true...we love and laugh as we pray thank you.
We have to experience the negative side of reality along with the positive. -- Father Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, June 21, 2023
Thank you.
