GOODBYE, DEAR SOUL

 

If on the way of your pilgrimage on Earth you find a soul that loves you, accept in silence the soft warmth of this benevolence - but do not ask anything, do not demand anything, and do not blame any of the loved one.

 

Receive with love the love that is given - and continue to serve with perfect humility, unpretentiously.

 

The dearer is this soul, the more you serve, without exploitation and expecting anything in return.

 

But if a soul imposes to another soul a duty, an obligation, starts the agony of love and friendship.

 

Only in a climate of absolute spontaneity this delicate little plant can grow.

 

And when this soul that was dear to you goes away - do not hold it back.

 

Let it go in full freedom.

 

Allow the guardian angels of your prayers and longings to follow that soul under the protection of white wings as a defence against evil – but do not force this soul to stay with you.

 

The more greater friend will be this soul in spontaneous freedom away from you - than in forced slavery near you.

 

Let it go its way - even if this path leads to the end of the Universe, to extreme distances from your body.

 

If between this soul and yours happens to exist spiritual affinity, there will be no distance enough in the whole Universe that you cannot bridge it.

 

Even if this soul would lift off and fix its temple beyond the Sirius star, beyond the ultimate phosphorescence of the Milky Way, beyond the most distant nebulae worlds in formation - this dear soul would be with you...

 

However, if there is no spiritual affinity, this soul might live under the same roof with you and with you sitting at the same table – it will not be yours, and nor will be between true unity and happiness.

 

For the spirit, spiritual closeness is paramount – the material distance represents nothing.

 

Comprehend, O Man - and go wherever you want!

 

Love – and you will always be near the loved one...

 

Across the Universe...

 

Within yourself...

 

 

Note:

 

"Kinship is a creation of the human ego - but affinity comes from the Divine Self.  It would be ideal that human beings united by affection of their egos were also tuned to comprehend their spiritual selves.  This comprehension is related to the power of discernment and the vital experience of the inner reality of humans; from a sacrificial virtuosity to a joyful wisdom".
