GRADUATION FROM IGNORANCE

salaam(peace) children;
As we grow in spiritual realm, much like the physical(real?) world, the tests and the conditions of saying "I am here" get tougher. It was easy passing eighth grade and got harder trying to get the diploma at the end of the High School years.

In your spiritual learning my child, care to be ready, know this now that just when you think you know enough to go on, just when you think you "got it", the ever present teacher will throw you a curve ball you thought you knew how to hit, and you'll keep trying and trying, but miss over and over again, until you realize that it may look the same as the one you knew, but it spins far differently and requires more practice and yes going back to the basics again!

May your eyes be always open and your mind alert enough to see the next bend on the road and accept it as it comes with its load of pain and hardship of learning. May you be humble enough to see that it is THE EGO SELF which is always in the way of your progress and not the teachers who create the test.

And....when you die, you'll probably pick up where you left off here, so pay more attention while your eyes can see and your ears are not filled with dirt and worms. Walk in humility while you have your feet and keep your hands busy with good works, enhancing life actions while you have power to move them.

ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY
