In times of trouble, when we are truly committed to practicing our final liberation, we must keep our ears open to receive guidance amidst the heat of illusion, when things are ugly, difficult, and complex.
A mature practitioner will reach the point at which nothing in this life will shake him or her. They will see the problem, feel it intensely, feel the uncertainty and the feelings of being lost, lose everything, and the scariness and some sadness, but they will never forget their nature of harmony and luminosity, which are primordial qualities whether we recognize them or not.
We, as practitioners, feel life in a very intense way, since we have been training in this contemplative lifestyle for quite long, but at the same time, we also learn the transitoriness of life and its conditions — that all comes to pass eventually — and the patience this requires. And we take this life’s madness as wood for the fire of wisdom, to go deeper and become more experienced.
Once we stop listening due to the pressure that life is displaying at those specific moments, and we close ourselves to the guidance of someone who is also our ally in practice, we become entangled in confusion, fear, anger, and ignorance — and this will bring more of the trouble we wish to get out of.
There would be no more hope, other than more and stronger fear, which never brings a solution and sows more seeds for future pain, since we did not learn how to train in the natural harmony that the path is pointing to, to finalize and release the pain of illusions once and for all.
“It is very normal to fail 99% of the time, but the remaining 1% is an eternal win.”
Embrace whatever pain comes, no matter what it is. Keep doing your life as usual — not paralyzed, but in action if needed. But the key point is to understand and realize that it is our own individual duty to find our own sacred ground of harmony and luminosity within, and absolutely without any kind of dependence on anything else, whether external or our physical body’s feelings. Dependence should be only on our own inner discovery and power of self-sufficiency, at ease at all times.
It is hard, specially under the pressure of life’s pain, but this is the key training which holds the blessing — the jewel of liberation. Don’t waste the holy opportunities of pain, by closing up, being angry, complaining, pointing out others, punishing yourself or those around us and so on; we can feel the anger and pain for a while, but every second that we pass under such pain, is a second that can be changed and we need to stay on course and keep training in liberation. It is not an easy task, it is scary and very much painful, trust me I know, but we must keep on training on this and failing until we get it.
A problem can be solved in two ways: using stress, fear, anger, and anxiety — sowing more seeds of the same and breaking things apart — or solving it swiftly and once and for all, through training ourselves in finding harmony and stability in action amidst such troubled times.
“Books and teachers will not save us — only our own training in mastering ourselves under the heat of illusions. The final culmination of pain resides in this real-life training. Make the most of it.”
And as it was said in the “Direct Instructions” section, we do not need to go out and look for trouble, since life will bring the exact trouble at the exact time when we are perfectly ready to handle it, train in it, and evolve. So in a way, trouble, for us as true practitioners, becomes the excellent sign of readiness for growth toward final recognition.
Keeping an open ear is crucial, since we all need aid in troubled times to come back to primordialness and remind ourselves of our practice. It is normal that we will forget this amidst life’s trouble — it is common and expected — but we must keep our ears open to help us recalibrate our views.
