To comprehend - what is it?
It’s not just understanding, thinking, analyzing.
It is reaching with intuitive intelligence, totally.
It’s a mysterious to die and to be born.
It’s redemptive suffering - because dying and being born are suffering.
Suffering towards a greater life...
No one comprehends something great without going through intense suffering - dying and being born.
How often do we face this mysterious conundrum: We want to make someone comprehend a great truth, and we can't; this truth could cause this person to be preserved from existential tragedy - but that person does not comprehend us...
And why not?
For it has not yet suffered properly, the pains of childbirth - and so it cannot give birth to the offspring of the redeeming Truth. It lacks a preliminary factor - perhaps a major earthquake, a storm, an intense fire. And no one can give it this redeeming wake-up call, a strong shake off; it will have to come from within itself...
For a man to see the stars, he must first descend into the depths of the abyss, from a hell of suffering accepted and comprehended.
Only by the terrible contrast of darkness will man see the light.
Everything that the tyrannical ego created on Earth’s surface - wars, devastation, tragedy, misery, anguish, death - for all this man must pass before the prodigal son matures for the great outbreak of the Kingdom of God.
In fact, man only accepts what he himself suffers and experiences in the depths of his being; no one converts with good advice from friends; only the tragic dilemma of being or not being will change the course.
It's the redeeming crisis ...
To comprehend is to travel through the intimate experience of reality and life; it is like penetrating luminous wisdom of what we are going through. The man only comprehends what he himself suffered in agony and happiness.
When I meet such a man, redeemed by accepted and comprehended suffering, I face a new world of unprecedented grandeur and beauty. And I have no desire to talk, analyse, or think - I just want to be silent, admire, enjoy, worship... Willingness to be deliciously...
Such a man is a redeemer. His silent being is far more powerful than every noisy saying or doing of others. No one is converted due to beautiful words or on highly evolved thoughts – converted is the only one who has entered the magnetized field of a man deified by a comprehended liberating Truth.
To the Tabor - only through Gethsemane and Golgotha...
He who is not crucified, dead, and buried cannot rise to an Easter of comprehension.
