For Stability, Strengthen Your Divine Connection
Most people feel devastated in moments of sorrow, because sorrow is painful and if one is a believer, one starts to wonder, "Why didn't God help me?" Sometimes we wonder why God does not grant usa life of ease, that is, a life that is free of burdens. Why do we have to experience a life that is full of health problems, financial, relationship and emotional problems? We always want God to do things that we think are good for us. Whatever we expect in life, we want that to happen; otherwise we become disappointed. Whenwhat we want does not happen, or the unexpected happens, we find it difficult to fathom why it happened. At that stage, we forget to think that maybe, this was supposed to happen. So, we are caught up in the why and wherefores of what happened. We feel as though we have lost the connection with God. Restore the connection What is important to recognise is: Why do we feel that we have lost our connection? If our connection with the Divine is strong and stable, then nothing should make that connection weak.

Then the next time something happens, we will not be as affected by the moments of sorrow and moments of happiness. We will cultivate equipoise that keeps us steady despite highs and lows. Equipoise comes with stability. For example, when we go to buy a car, we want the most stable car that will not turn over. Stability in a car comes from how strong its connection with the ground is. Similarly, our spiritual stability depends on how strong our connection with the Divine is. If our connection is strong, then nothing will be able to pull us apart and we will remain stable. Light and Sound That state comes as we meditate and experience the Light and Sound of God. If we sit in silence and focus our attention within, we will find the manifestation of God in the form of inner Light and Sound.
