Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` Like Christ all must be crucified. Like Buddha all must suffer before Enlightenment. We must endure patiently these sufferings if we really want to realise God. If we don't want God, we will be free of these tortures; but if we truly seek God, we will have to weep from our soul for God, not merely with tears from the eyes. When this happens and the ground is cut away from underneath you, as it were, when you cry in desperation, intensely longing for release, then the Grace of God or whatever you want to call it, comes and you are free. - Swami Krishnananda ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` Facets of Spirituality Complied by S. Bhagyalakshmi Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi, 1986 .. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
