Day 81:
Remember when one door closes another opens.
Many a time some event shakes us and we think it is the end of the world. The doors which were wide open in front of us suddenly slam closed in front of us. This is the moment of darkness. We don't know what has happened. We don't know why it has happened to us. We lose something dear to us. For a while we may become paralyzed. We don't know which way to go....
This reminds me of the story of a novice Zen Buddhist monk and a master.
The master's teacher died and at the funeral the master was crying his heart
out. The novice who had learned all about the illusoriness of existence and
need to control the self asked the master, "Master, why are you crying?"
The master replied, "Because I am sad." So when the time is to grieve,
admit the sadness. Accept the sadness and the loss....
It is important to acknowledge the door which closes. The acknowledgment allows us to move on to the next stage....
To be continued....
Namaste means "the Divinity within me salutes the Divinity within you...."
