“Some days I get the bear, and some days the bear gets me!”
Some days are very dark, and some nights are even darker. It’s those dark nights when the ‘bear’ gets me.
I am generally a positive upbeat person, taking life as it comes. But occasionally some days are very dark, and some nights are even darker. It’s those dark nights when the ‘bear’ gets me.
Even though I know I am not this body or my mind, and I know I am spirit in essence, I can be affected by the world around me. It can pull me down. Most days are good days, but some days are utter despair!
But the reality is that this material life IS finite and the good days and bad days in this life will be behind me eventually. But I will still exist, I am eternal.
We all have our own demons to contend with, but we ARE eternal, we do the best we can, and we move on.
Make your way through this impermanent, transitory life in whatever way you can, keeping the goal of worshiping the Lord foremost in your minds. Don’t abandon this goal, even in the face of hundreds of dangers, insults or persecutions”.
Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur 1874-1937.
