PAIN IS YOUR BEGINNING...


O' Wanderer!

Pain is your beginning...

If it were not for the pain, life would be so meaningless and absurd. The first pain is that of other hearts that you feel in your own heart. The second pain is the 'wahshat' (vacuum and agony) in your soul.

The first pain realizes the suffering of human beings around you and makes you restless. This pain is also your only attachment to them at the moment. It makes you strive for justice to better their conditions, because relentless striving is the only way you know can ease this pain.

The second pain has made your heart realize that nothing can comfort your soul except the blissful Wine from The Ultimate Reality. You also realize that this pain is as painful as the first one, but it is also different. It is in a way also a fulfillment, involving pleasure; however, this pain can also intensify over time and make the 'wahshat' much worse and tormenting, unless...

O' Wanderer, you realize that pain is an immediate inner experience that does not require any rational proof or repetition for validation. One realizes it immediately when one opens eyes in this world and expresses it through crying - crying is such a universal language of pain, for infants and adults alike. Hence, even if the whole world around you is a fiction, your pain is still real.

Life was never meaningless or absurd to you because there is pain. You felt it right from the very first moment of your presence in this world.

Pain is your beginning...

But, O' Wanderer, know that there also exist other realities and higher stations. Ishq (love) that you only through pain has many more colors which you need to discover. And along with pain, ishq can guide you to your home!

- Your Heart, the Consciousness of your Soul.
