Thus Spake The Lord
You proceed from "death" to "life"
and from "illness" to "health"
by the experience of the buffetings of the world.
The World is a very essential curriculum for man;
through the agony of search is born the infant, wisdom.
The pains are worthwhile;
they indicate the birth of new life.
From restlessness you get absolute peace,
from absolute peace you get bright spiritual illumination;
and from bright spiritual illumination, Supreme Divine Radiance.
It is like the alternating of night and day,
this recurrence of joy and grief.
Night and day are the twin sisters;
both are necessary to increase the fertility of the soil,
to activate and refresh life.
Duality is ever the basis of sorrow and pain.
Sorrow is the temporary absence of joy;
joy is the temporary disappearance of sorrow.
Both are not everlasting,
except when joy is won by spiritual means.
divinely sent
