Life contains many pains, and suffering is the effect of those pains upon our spirit. Only a person who can endure the pains of life will be able to move beyond the sufferings of the spirit.
The difficult truth of life is that we often have to shed many tears over the sufferings of our spirit before those tears finally wash our eyes clean. Only after those tears have been lifted away can we see the path of our life and our own truth with clarity and light.
