Pain




Just reading it, brings out some memories of pain, not a pleasant word to read. And yet, it has a very important purpose.

It is pain that makes painless days a blessing; it slows us down so that we can think about all those things, about which we usually don’t have time. It brings us close to the ONE, who can actually help. It gives birth to feeling of compassion in the heart, it is the pain, which makes us realize how insignificant we are, and how dependent we are on each other. It makes us humble. It reminds us of death, and so we can make ourselves ready for it.

It makes us a better human being; it is the pain, which rains on the soil of heart as tears, making it fertile for the seeds of love to start growing. It is the pain, which has many secrets about life hidden in it.
