The loss at first appears meaningless, to be endured, ignored, anaesthetized, or avoided. What was once our security or even our delight is now a chain around our neck. Learning is the painful reorganization of what we thought we knew. We are being forced to discover inner resources that we are not aware of and do not know how to use. We feel isolated, and we are.
Roses grow best in shit.
As we grow, we move from dependence to independence, from needy to giving, from negative to positive, from rigid to flexible, from unrealistic to realistic, from clever to simple, from fear to wisdom, from suffering to harmony. Learn to love each other, and you will get the love you need No effort of the self can remove the self from its own self-centeredness. If you are lonely, your best friend is another lonely person. And it is indestructible. Consciousness, spirit, lives forever.
