It seems there are two portions here to consider. One is why would things be good and bad, happy and sad...pleasure and pain if We are He.
I used to ponder this question a lot as a child. It was one of those things I just couldn't get past. I remember being barely six or seven and asking the mormon elder why heaven was so so good. He was puzzled by this as I seemed very distressed. He said..."Don't worry heaven is perfect,always good and always wonderful."
But, his reply disturbed me even more...as I know that without wretched there can be no way to quantify wonderful.
There can be no way to know and mark the darkness without having some knowledge of light?
Isvara, in all His Beautiful, Wondrousness wanted to truly feel these things. So He broke Himself off, each portion just as the last...gently placing them onto the stage and manifesting this world.
The second portion of this is...Why would He bring Himself to such a state of misery and imperfection?
Well, look no further than your own parents, or your own children to answer this mystery. Broken off from this fragile vessel I brought these children into the world of pain and suffering because I know...that no matter what.....no matter what...we are always always fine....always perfect.
Nothing can change this...nothing. Kill me...take my sight...break me into bits...and I will remain whole.
These children were brought into this world to share this joy...and happiness...and with it comes sorrow and pain as they are inevitable portions of this blessed and wretched experience.
How can one truly know the gentle sentiments of love without one to love?
Holding my child...I close my eyes and I hug Shiva, I look into their eyes overwhelmed with this Beautiful Truth. It's almost too much to bear...knowing
Beloved is Always Watching.
Today was a birthday, the 15th for our Sonshine...
We came for the Love, and stay for the ice cream.
