I am sorry if what I said has caused you pain. That was not at all

my intention.

 

 

ADI RESPONDS ...

 

On Pain

Kahlil Gibran

 

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your

understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may

stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of

your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;

And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have

always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your

grief.

 

 

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals

your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence

and tranquillity:

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand

of the Unseen,

And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been

fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own

sacred tears.
