timing of grace


the saints were the ones that walked
the path of surrender
they walked into the fires of purification
and here
there was much manifestations that came
forward as clearing
such as visions, kriyas and mental playing out
that came as kundalini
the saints were the ones that *lived* the path
which is so very different than holding
a philosophy about it
a philosophy is for the realm of duality
and those ones that need to grasp onto
something to make their lives better
which is where most are in the realm
of spirit
and though this kind of thing may bring
souls to some feeling of being a
better person
and give soothing words to the mind
it is entirely different than a path of
surrender
which will tear all that one has
built up inside as thought and concept
away
to walk a path such as this takes great
fortitude and great desire to be free
of all that brings suffering
this cannot be manufactured
like a mental philosophy
it is a burning inside the soul
that cannot be ignored
like the saints
like Guru
like Buddha
like Christ
one that has within a burning like this
is moved to fulfillment of the scriptures
which is the righteous path laid out
by those that have come to the end
and found the pearl of great price
which is liberation
those few that walk the razors edge like this
are not to be looked upon as if they are special
or better or higher
this is completely absurd
for these ones are simply moved according
to lifetimes of focus/energy that has been put toward
this end
and it has this type of playing out
the ones that are not yet in the way of
walking away from the world
are not to remorse or look to be any
other way than what is true inside
and this aides in settling the mind and heart
and opening up to what is before one to
be immersed in
which may be family, work etc…
be in this experience fully
and this will awaken the mind to go deeper
when the time is right

the heart's timing is not in the hands of ego
it is the timing of grace
and the mind cannot understand it
no matter how much it attempts to
even when one feels certain that the world
is this way and that they themselves are this
particular way or whatever …
this will eventually lift like a cloud
and one will then experience the one
which will blow out any of these concepts..
this can happen at any time and place
and then the journey gets going
and there is much challenging of the mind
(ego)
which will in the end not rise victorious
if one continues
it will be drowned in light, love and stillness
which is the gem of greatest worth
as it has no suffering in it

so my friends, be well
and continue on your journey
no matter your circumstances
be in love with your life
be here and do not
worry
grace will move the soul
to be free
in God's good timing….

  6. Namaste, Beautifully written. Deep gratitude! The burning light inside the heart does not go away. Its lit up and its burning all the garbage accumulated over. Deeply moved by Graces doing. At times paralyzed by it too :-) Grace moves on its own. Like the ocean waves, at times in a stormy manner, at times with a loving stillness, as if giving the so needed break from the suffering, revealing little secrets along the way. I or a persona has nothing to do with it at all. Maybe I is only left to pray that it is over soon rather than later, but then again who is really truly praying? Very grateful for this path. Will trot along in its light till the shadow no more. Shanti OM.
