"And their (Note: the virtues) All action and suffering it is - Daferner sorry they ever attack can -. is that this suffering is for God's sake, and all external works in the time far too small, as they reveal themselves completely in it and fully prove and it erbilden Through practice, it is strong, and through the generosity is they are rich. "
(M. Eckehardt)
Far too often we see the suffering that befalls us in life only as something negative. By this view, we complain about, are depressed and all our strength - which we consume in suffering already - is spent feeling sorry for ourselves. But when we try again, to see the suffering from the perspective of learners and practitioners, and to evaluate it for what it really is: an opportunity for spiritual training.
One of the key questions that can help us cope with the suffering, is to realize our role in life in the face of adversity. Who are you? Who are you in your life? The answer to this question is one of the keys we need to pass through the mysteries of life - and successfully overcome our suffering.
Too often we let the external circumstances of our lives completely intimidated. We look at the things we do not have - but would have liked. We look at the seemingly overwhelming problems of everyday life - and lose heart. We look back on that life could be like it - and start to be dissatisfied. And we look dumb on our supposed misery - and begin to suffer.
If we use an inner setting approach to life that we from the outset, we said a little sticks that of an overwhelming fate is out-and her.getrieben, we overlooked one of the great truths of human life. Yes, we are in comparison to the great, silent secret of eternal destiny may be only a small sticks, but a little sticks with extremely powerful engines, an experienced pilot, and the force of an indomitable will which helps us to our goals to achieve.
We just have to learn that we - if we activate our inner, spiritual engine - ever so perfectly on the troubled ocean scroll of life can and can not be by the forces of flow torn.
Who are you - in your life? The glitter and glamor of the world you might say: You're the cleaning lady. The successful Business Angel you might say: You're not interesting. And the large super hero might say: You are nothing. Then I say to you: Do not listen to all the chatter. There are deep in your heart, the small and unassuming voice of truth and says you're the hero in this drama.
I think we live to learn. In the many traditions of wisdom that I could explore so far, said again and again a Voice to me. And I have for every answer I have found, also repeatedly asked a new question. And in sum, I never came out of the wonder - and certainly not when I saw miracle after miracle and have experienced.
The world and life are so great and holy mystery, that a life they may not be sufficient to penetrate sufficiently. But that's OK. Because: There is a mission, a sacred task that life holds for you, just you and the master can accomplish. You have to not get out of the suffering, but perhaps only once in suffering inside - but only to develop the inner strength you for giving up the life has entrusted to you ages ago to survive.
Whenever you come into suffering, it helps you easily visualize this fact: All life is suffering. And suffering, (only) the spiritual training hall in which I can prepare myself for the successful completion of my mission. Are you suffering for? Or you practice it - seeking
