The human body is a troubled structure. It works hard and resists the forces of nature but eventually it gives in. How can it not? All of nature goes through creation, struggles to support itself and eventually returns to the dust from which it came. Some sooner, some later, but all in good time. But what of the mind. It too is transient, struggling to hold on to its limited idea of itself only to eventually yield to its eternal nature, its true nature. Not of mind but of Spirit, of pure consciousness, of pure unconditional love. The body suffers, that is natural. The mind suffers. This too is natural. But the Spirit, that part of us that is eternal. It does not suffer. It witnesses the journey holding a space of compassion and unconditional love for us even as we folly under the illusion of our own grandeur. To know the witness is to end our suffering and to find peace.- Om Shanti
