Today I would like to briefly comment on the de Mello's story I posted yesterday.
Two key words were mentioned: Growth and Enlightenment. The first is a slow process that takes patience, commitment and time. It may go on throughout our entire life.The second needs an act of supreme desire, of total surrender, of blind faith in what is beyond our understanding. Instead of keeping wondering, pondering, asking questions (my personal problem, sigh!), it is necessary to reach a point where there is no more need for questions. What is required is the total openness of our spirit, the acceptance of the deep knowing that has always been there but that we were unaware of, of afraid of.
"Jumping" means complete, unconditional surrender to the unknown Force that we cannot see or hear, but that we can feel in our heart, if we have the courage to pay attention.
