My Soul Preached To Me

Life teach us many things, we learn how to live freely from the sorrows, from the tensions, so many hurdles, hard times, hard time is the main part of life, we learn how to achieve  success in our life from in our hard time and hardworking, I suffered a lot in my life i saw so many sorrows, many hard time, but I never ever lost my hope, my confidence, the words of  my late grandfather he always used to say that “You can do it” he taught me how to face hard time and accept every challenges in life because “I Can Do It” and I can  face every challenges and hard times, I always listen of my soul, my own inner soul.

My soul always preached to me and taught me, to listen to the voices  which the tongue and the larynx and the lips do not utter, my soul preached to me and taught me to say, “I am ready” when the unknown and danger call on me. My soul preached to me and said, “Do not measure time by saving, ‘There was yesterday, and there shall be tomorrow.’ ”

And my soul preached to me, I imagined the past as an epoch that never returned, and the future as one that could never be reached.

My soul preached to me exhorting me not to limit space by saying, “Here, there, and yonder.” My soul preached to me, I felt that wherever I walked was far from any other space. My soul instructed me and advised me to stay awake while others sleep. And to surrender to slumber when others are astir.

My soul preached to me, I saw not their dreams in my sleep, neither did they observe my vision. My soul preached to me and said, “Do not be delighted because of praise, and do not be distressed because of blame.” My soul counselled me, I doubted the worth of my work.

But now I realize, that the unknown has become a steed that I can mount in order to reach the unknown; and the plain has turned into a ladder on whose steps I climb to the summit. I realize that the present moment contain all time and within it is all that can be hoped for, done and realized, I realized that whenever I am contains all places; and the distance that I walk embraces all distances. Now I never sail the vessel of my dreams unless they watch me, and they never soar into the sky of their vision unless I rejoice in their freedom. And the last I realized the the trees blossom in spring and bear fruit in summer without seeking praise; and they drop their leaves in autumn and become naked in winter without freezing blame. Now I learned that, I was as both are and made from the same elements. My origin is their origin,my conscience is their conscience, my contention is their contention, and my pilgrimage is their pilgrimage. If they sin, I am also sinner, if they do well I take pride in their well doing. If they rise, I rise with them, if they stay inert, I share their slothfulness. My soul preached to me, and taught me much. Your soul has preached and taught as much to you. For you and I are one, and there is no variance between us save that I urgently declare that which is in my inner self, while you keep as a secret that which is within you. But in your secrecy there is a sort of virtue.
