From the leaves of my diary:
When we start to evolve spiritually a filtration process takes place in our lives. This process is a must and part of the Divine proceedings and we must allow it to happen .
This is where all those that in a way serve no positive purpose in our life, who are negative in nature and instead of mutually filling our cup of life will only drain it are removed from our zone and at times from our life . Now this filtration process does not come easy . It causes an upheaval in your life major or minor, causes pain and anger ( sometimes at others – sometimes at your own self ) masks are removed , true faces are shown, which may come as a surprise and hurt you on the inside but In spite of it all, allow it to happen . Welcome it.
To survive this process for your own good do not fight it, have faith in the ways of Divine. Only those who intend to harm or affect your progress negatively will be removed. And at the same time more souls from whom you will benefit, who will help you rise will somehow enter your life ( they may be known or complete strangers). Pray for strength and trust in the lord all might and rise – For he knows the reason .
And guaranteed one day soon ( if not immediately ) you will look back and thank God for this filtration, as wisdom and time will allow you to understand the good this process did to your soul. How beneficial it was or how you were saved from the wrong and wrong doers.
But then, it does not end with one now does it. We continue to walk down the road passing through many such filtration process. Welcome them all with a smile and prayer, continue your journey, stay blessed and surrender to the lotus feet of Krishna.
