14: ON PAIN by Kahlil Gibran

Always say kind words to everybody, because everybody is fighting a hard battle. I always tried to adhere to these words. I think now, more than ever, this statement rings truer than before. People seem to suffer so much more. We have come to know more probabilities of suffering and they have become more concrete than ever before. Our circumstances rip us apart from people we love. We experience more profound suffering every day, and we also see other people suffering to the point that we feel much helpless a lot of times. Always say kind words to everybody, because everybody is fighting a hard battle. Allow me to share this reflection ON PAIN written by Kahlil Gibran. ON PAIN Kahlil Gibran And a woman spoke, saying, Tell us of Pain. And he said: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief. Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen, And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.

13: ON LOVE by Kahlil Gibran

"Love is given to him/her who does not deserve it." "Love is a battlefield." "Love must be in the measure of the cross." These are just some definitions of LOVE that perhaps those who merely expect romance wouldn't appreciate. Here is a thesis ON LOVE written by Kahlil Gibran. Sharing this now may also be fitting when we are nearing the Holy Week, that time when we commemorate the Paschal Mystery -- the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ -- the epitome and ultimate manifestation of Love. ON LOVE Kahlil Gibran Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love. And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said: When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself He threshes you to make your naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart. But if in your heart you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.” And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

12: ON DEATH by Kahlil Gibran

Among many others that this pandemic forced us to confront, we have been made to come face to face with the reality of death. Everyday, we hear of news about people dying -- strangers and those most dear to us -- or of those who are at the brink of death. Worst is that the pandemic ripped us apart and seemingly took from us the intimacy of mourning for our loved ones, or even the opportunity to be near them in their deathbed. What we may only do is to pray, to discern the will of God for us in the face of all these events. What we may do is to reflect on this reality of life, and of death. Here is a reflection ON DEATH by Kahlil Gibran. ON DEATH Kahlil Gibran Then Almitra spoke, saying, We would ask now of Death. And he said: You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour. Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king? Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling? For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
