Whatever you do, don’t shut off your
pain; accept your pain and remain vulnerable. However desperate you become,
accept your pain as it is, because it is in fact trying to hand you a priceless
gift: the chance of discovering, through spiritual practice, what lies behind
sorrow.
“Grief,” Rumi wrote, “can be the
garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain
can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and
wisdom.”
