\nWhen we carefully study what drives people to spiritual life, we often find a surprising correlation between pain and misery and a rise in spiritual earnestness. Pain pushes us to seek relief beyond the body and mind. Pain and disappointment knock on the closed doors of a superficial life and call us to open ourselves to the Lord in full surrender.<\/p>\n

While doing so, pain frequently slices through the illusory veil of mindless sense pleasure. We arrive at the cardinal question: Where is my ultimate shelter?<\/p>\n

But pain is often seriously misunderstood. After having recently suffered bouts of physical pain and disappointment in my life and contemplating deeply the wisdom of some Himalayan yogis, I realized something that may surprise my readers. I tried to put my realization into words in the following poem:<\/p>\n

Greetings, I Am Pain, Your Guru<\/p>\n

Oh, how you curse and condemn me
\nas if I am your worst enemy.<\/p>\n

You will pay any price
\nto rid yourself of me finally.
\nNo journey is too far,
\nno medicine too expensive,
\nno therapy too abstruse.<\/p>\n

You attack me with painkillers,
\nsedatives,
\nmindless diversions,
\nan army of pills.<\/p>\n

You call doctor after doctor,
\nrun to healers and hospitals,
\napproach sadhus for blessings,
\nburn incense, pray\u2013
\nsimply to kill me, your teacher,
\nwho has come to save
\nand redirect you.<\/p>\n

Allow Me to Introduce Myself<\/p>\n

Please wake up.
\nI am your sincere friend and not a cruel-hearted enemy.
\nI am a soul-awakener, an eye-opener, a guide, an inspirer.
\nHow could you have failed
\nto recognize me?
\nYou thought I was working against your interests.
\n
