Our spiritual evolution takes place slowly,
often unobtrusively only because we don't recognize it at first. Like birth
pangs, it comes in periodic convulsions, leaving us empty and exhausted. But
regular bouts over a period of time start to withdraw us bit by bit from the world,
through what we often call disillusionment, a subtle corrosion of our
involvement in it. I have come to the conclusion that this has to ultimately
happen to every soul, a kind of saturation point reached, if you will. The
tipping point comes after which the real evolution starts, with a gradual
detachment, a good way to live out karma.
Like a friend said recently, you don't have
to let the fire that purifies you, singe or burn you, because that is not
wisdom. You have to start closing chapters that you write sooner or later. But
close you must.
And before you close the final chapter of your
life, you owe yourself peace and an eye towards your real home.
