The Testing
Every truth realised, and any knowledge of a spiritual nature that anyone has, or professes to have, is tested and grounded in the events and circumstances of the ongoing life. This creates the troubling (testing) situations.
All spiritual knowledge, whether great or small, provides a certain detachment from events. This means not identifying with the pressure of what is happening. Thus, according to the depth of our spiritual knowledge, we are troubled less and suffer less.
You have to hold on and on and on until you are released by circumstance or you know within yourself with unshakeable conviction that the ordeal is over. It might take twelve months, or it might take a lifetime, depending on the depth of the identification or unconsciousness.
Right surrender is the feeling that you can’t possibly bear another minute while knowing you can wait forever.
