FINDING JOY

“Joy fixes us to eternity and pain fixes us to time. But desire and fear hold us in bondage to time, and detachment breaks the bond.”
—SIMONE WEIL

This quote truly resonated for me in my journey a few weeks ago. When we go through painful experiences we get caught up in sorrow and sadness. Experiencing pain and sadness again and again helps to discover the everlasting reservoir of joy that lies within. It is the  desire to find happiness and the fear of sadness that keeps us churning again and again in the grind of suffering.

I’ve learnt that when I bring an element of sweetness in the experience of pain, is when I turn the attachments of control and desire into an opportunity. I do this by bringing conscious understanding whilst feeling a deep and visceral sense of security that I am protected at all times.  The losses in the material dimension actually become a doorway to turn to the spiritual dimension and discover the inherent place of peace and bliss.

I’d urge you to rise beyond the suffering when it comes knocking to your door. The expectation that life is without suffering is a belief that must be examined and addressed.

Humbly, very very humbly
