Dvorahji: I always find it fascinating and somewhat disturbing that some intensely religious and spiritual people lose sight of God at some point and fall into deep despair.
Darling Baby: The reason they fall into deep despair is cause they fall into deep despair (one of those miserable happenings). And in some way, THEY still "THINK" they can make life go THEIR WAY...and what a shocker after all that tapas, good works, sacrifice they still get crucified or hit by a red bus. It's a real bummer, don't you think?
It's so hard to accept that "you" have no control and LIFE IS GOING TO DO IT'S THING, isn't it? But just take a look at your own life. You're a good person aren't you? You try and be kind and helpful and feed your kids, and do you meditation and wish the world well, don't you? And you even have several organization that you help, who feed children and give medical care, don't you? And still after all this, you still got very sick, can't work and lose your home. OR get in an accident, trash your new car just as you were going to pick up your son for his important recital. OR, your husband just had an affair and now you're getting divorced? So tell me, how much control do you really have over your life?
Well, religious/spiritual people have just as little control as you do!! it's a natural happening that they can fall into deep despair, because life is still an enigma with no rhyme or reason, and maybe somewhere along the line they thought they had it all figured out spiritually, expected more and believed their own rhetoric. Once you buy into your thoughts & feelings, you're sunk!
Of COURSE no one has it worked out. WE NEVER DO. It's an open-ended mystery and all you can do is FREE FALL INTO THAT AWESOME MYSTERY. IT'S to be lived not thought about. IT IS WHAT IT IS. A continuous circus with flashing red lights, green parades and the Divine posing as a Guru or two passing by with an OM life raft.
Life works IT'S WAY... AND GOD is your Nature not your pawn & master to become servile to. LIFE IS A HAPPENING AND SO ARE YOU. It's really kinda cool, cause then you can just let go and be nothing special, instead of a spiritual person or a person of god. Just breath into your own BEING...THAT'S ALL THAT'S REALLY HAPPENING. And be happy, because it's going to be over soon, in IT'S OWN WAY....Love you, Dvorahji
If you fall into despair, just bow down and give it all UPPPPP! Cause there is NOTHING to hold on to except the Divine....
