The Bridge

Waterloo Bridge by Claude Monet

There are two possible ways to get from one to the other bank of the River of our personal journey. One could attempt to cross through the water or one could go the way of the bridge. Either one held its difficulties. Besides we use an other metaphor here, because we do not go down the stream of river but we cross it.

The most difficult, if the other side is not shined for you.You should be assured of durability of your bridge and in that that it will result you in a proper place. Happy is that who does not have such problems. The bridge may be enveloped by a fog of doubts of such degree that the person even does not dare to step into it. But enveloped also in the truest knowledge about self which a man had ever had , it becomes the bridge that stretches from earth to heaven. This Bridge cannot be destroyed or stolen from anyone who wants to follow it, because it is solid and immovable and comes from the unchangeable One. When a person has experienced the clearness of this, it does not mean that the direction cannot be lost for some time and then that way ceases, the person goes back along the road by which had come, hoping to find the same thing again. God do not always give in the same way, but in our foolishness we looks only in that one way, trying to impose the rules for the Higher. Instead, we should cross courageously along the bridge and  receive its blessing  there when, where, and as its Goodness pleases to give.
 Do not take seriously what I try to tell you, I don’t know what Divine will do with me, I just go across a bridge and admire all who cross this bridge so courageously. God, protect all spiritual travellers!
