A Spiritual Path - The Easy Path

A Spiritual path

You want to grow spiritually. Yet you do not want it to hurt so you choose an easy path. You are born rich and you decide to go to a university which is prominent. You graduate with a degree in something which will give you an easy way in the world. Whatever it is is something that you find easy to do.

You live a simple life. You get married and have children. The path of this life has no challenges. When you grow older you do not have to worry about your needs or the needs of those who are close to you. You can be generous with the money which you have made. You are well respected among those who are in your peer group.

There comes a time in this life when you are concerned that your life lacks meaning. So you ask questions as to why this life was so easy as compared to others around you. You look beyond your borders and you see that there is a world filled with sorrow.

You have come to a point of realization. When you reach this point you cannot accept this life any longer. Now you seek meaning.

You are now at the point of someone who has had a hard life and wonders why their life was hard. No matter your perspective you both are forced to ask the same questions. Why was my life like this? Why is my suffering not answered by those who are supposed to have all of the answers to all of my spiritual questions?

You absorb the sorrow and there is growth to the part of you which you cannot see; the spirit within. Sorrow brings you growth just as lifting weights causes muscles to grow.

Surprise! You are wise and you did not work for it.

You see sorrow and you grow as a result of it. Growth happens in any field of darkness when the light of dawn is about to break.
