When Things Are Done

"...but in liberating themselves by going back to the mother, back to God, back to the all [...]; they are ready to throw themselves away and give way, to extinguish themselves and go back to the beginning."
[Herman Hesse]


Coming back after great meditations and great spiritual realizations, we may find our life uneventful and simple. We may feel our mission has run to end. We shared all our treasures. Told, sang or described every aspect of our vision. Offered all the gifts we’ve received. And, what is the most important, we may feel our role has been played making us kind unemployed.

That moment makes us think. What next? If anything?

That moment let us rest. Looking around we see our closers and enjoy the time together in a very peaceful place. One is holding another and cheers up! It may be that for the rest of our days here. But it may be only a break before the next great meditations and great spiritual realizations.

Because of what we did, we can expect the results. It is of course nothing new. God was resting on seventh day, because the craft was done. Joseph Murphy said, that we should do the same when our inner work is finished. It may be, that no one see it beside us, but when we don’t stop to climb the mountain after reaching the hill, we can go only down again.

It’s already done in the spirit means that the goal is reached. Until we are reaching for something it is still far away. For someone who has reached the goal, it is such certain, that he can even not to notice it, when it comes. And this process is like growing up the plant. When the seed is sown, we are only waiting till the plant grows out and then blooms. Water it is sufficient, our part is over and the rest belongs to God. To this part of us what works perfectly by its own.

Well done! Feel unemployed? Polish proverb says, “The unemployed always celebrate”!
