Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always (Rainer
Maria Rilke)
Would You
like to comment on this saying?
A large part of the problems, the confusion,
the struggle, the problems, the suffering and the sorrow of man is inherent to
the evolution of life on Earth. What a hazard, what a diseases, what a risk the
human being on earth is experiencing.
But Rilke is referring to the other part of the
sadness, the grief, the confusion, the difficulties, he is referring namely to
the fight of man against life.And that is an additional and redundant and unnecessary problem.
When one is adapting, releasing, accepting life
in his vehemence, life can also be land earlier, flourish better, produce more,
help again someone to follow the right path rather than when one is resisting
seriously and fighting dramatically.
Exactly as a doctor will get a splinter out of
a wound when one sits quietly. Exactly so.
Let life happen to you
Saying yes to everything, even to the great
suffering, the bad luck, to misfortune, to diseases.
Stop fighting against what is, where one has to
bear it all, to bear what just is happening.Acceptance of the negative side of life, because this is what it is.
This attitude gives a lot of space, a lot of relaxation, much quietness.
And thus one can begin sooner to experience the other side of the coin of suffering, the learning experience, the understanding, the empathy, the depth of the emotional life, the gentleness comings forth from suffering.
Believe me: life is in the right, always
My son, this sentence is worthwhile a separate
blog. I will try to restrict Myself to the heart of the matter.
Life, of course, is not always right, there is
intrinsic to evolution so much randomness, bad luck, misfortune, genetic
defect, that life really not always is at the right side, fate is sometimes
cruel and ruthless and unbearably difficult.In that sense, life is not always right.
Even though the spiritual world is working hardly to support man in this situation.
But the poet Rilke is referring to something
else.
Life is stronger than man.Life is imposing itself to man.
Life is greater than man.
Life is determining man.
Life is fulfilling itself in man.
Life is supreme and man is a leaf in the wind.
So ... you better can be flexible, what else?
So ... you better can say yes, what else?So ... you better can adapt yourself, what else?
And believe Rilke, life in this sense is in his right, always.
Rilke may be blessed.
My blessings to you all
