Dear Friend: this blog entry is still in its inception...it is still a work in progress...it is a reflection on the role of suffering and pain in bringing about our spiritual awakening and subsequently our spiritual growth and development.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For most of us, it is only in the midst of pain (physical, mental or emotional) and agony coupled with a sense of the inadequacy of all tangible resources available to us (to adequately address our suffering), that we feel induced or motivated into venturing out into the spiritual realm in search of some intangible that we can reach out to who will hear our cry and deliver us from our distress.
Is it any wonder then that the poor (poor in the sense of their limited tangible resources) are oftentimes observed to be the ones who most easily embrace a belief in the intangible (be it God or some other supernatural)?
Is it any wonder then that young and innocent children who are subjected to traumatic emotional and/or physical experiences likewise have no hesitations in opening up their hearts and reaching out to God when they are made aware of Him and His immense love for them?
