“Tears of the Soul”

In nature, everything has been given to us by God as a gift for us to study and understand ourselves and the truth. For instance, even in a cocooned butterfly, we can see the developmental stage of our own soul. A caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. Is the caterpillar gone, dead? No, it has just transformed. After going through its ugliest stages, its most troubled times inside the cocoon, it emerges with wings capable of flying away from all the ugliness and troubles, towards its freedom, towards the light. Our souls too, when the time comes, will shed the dust that has covered us from mundanity, evil, and ego, and will be cleansed and purified. This is the law of our creation. We emerge from hatred to love, from evil to good, from darkness to Light. Our hearts just as the heart of a caterpillar, when the time comes, will shed all its ugliness and debris, break free from the dust, and become a sacred abode where Light can fully dwell. This abode is now a temple purified from all filth. A temple, or a sacred abode, is within our hearts. The heart is a temple for the Light of God. The Light is now so powerful that one becomes oblivious to everything in this ocean of Love, feeling, hearing, sensing nothing of their bodily sensations and desires.

By sacrificing the body's five senses and moving forward only with the heart, one says, "Trust is the shawl that covers the Light and gives it life." This is a state of complete trust and surrender to a higher power. Now, with this trust, one creates a home filled with Light in the heart. At this point, like a caterpillar, one dies while living and transforms into a butterfly. The only thing left behind, as always, is Love. However, love and fear must complement each other. Love is existence, fear is death. But both must coexist. Only then can integrity be achieved. The hole that we need to open in the four walls of the Sacred home we build with Love in our hearts is the fear we need. This fear must belong to the individual, as if it were the fear of not being able to succeed. Therefore, one must possess both fear and love in the same place. It is a necessity to succeed. When one cannot find both love and fear within themselves, their only recourse is to turn to God, beseeching Him to lift the veil covering their eyes and hearts, to scatter the dust. As a sage once said, "All doors are locked, except the doors of tears." One must try all doors and reach a point where their soul cries out in supplication. When, after giving their all, they realize that they have failed, and nothing has been achieved by their own efforts, they come to the condition of secrecy. This condition is when one cannot see, understand, or do anything. Thus, the soul begins to cry silently. With these tears, the soul raises its voice in supplication. It is at this moment that the doors of tears open. The doors of tears are the only key to enter ‘Home’...
