Grave Darkness before Light

The process of personal growth isn’t always easy. We must face our own ugliness and the ugliness that lies within those in our lives. We often must become painfully aware of the unworkability of a pattern before we’re willing to give it up. It often seems, in fact, that our lives get worse rather than better when we begin to work deeply on ourselves and let go of the unhealthy attachments in our lives but this isn’t so.

The pain is really just the fear, weakness, blindness and ignorance we’ve been clinging to leaving the body and mind.

And once it’s gone, we are strong.

Simply AMAZING. Gurudev had the same message for us last week.
