PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING

 

[My friend Marge had an experience] aboard a plane bound for Cleveland,

waiting for takeoff. As she settled into her seat, Marge noticed a

strange phenomenon. On one side of the airplane a sunset suffused the

entire sky with glorious color. But out of the window next to her seat,

all Marge could see was a dark and threatening sky, with no sign of the

sunset.

 

As the plane's engines began to roar, a gentle Voice spoke within her.

" You have noticed the windows, " He murmured beneath the roar and thrust

of the takeoff. " Your life, too, will contain some happy, beautiful

times, but also some dark shadows. Here's a lesson I want to teach you

to save you much heartache and allow you to " abide in Me " with continual

peace and joy. You see, it doesn't matter which window you look through;

this plane is still going to Cleveland. So it is in your life. You have

a choice. You can dwell on the gloomy picture. Or you can focus on the

bright things and leave the dark, ominous situations to Me. I alone can

handle them anyway.   And the final destination is not influenced by

what you see or feel along the way. Learn this, act on it and you will

be released, able to experience the " peace that passes understanding. "

(Catherine Marshall, " Touching the Heart of God " )

 

Do not grieve. Misfortunes will happen to the wisest and best of men.

Death will come, always out of season. It is the command of the Great

Spirit, and all nations and people must obey. What is past and what

cannot be prevented should not be grieved for…Misfortunes do not

flourish particularly in our lives—they grow everywhere. (Big Elk,

Native American, `The Spiritual Athlete´)

 

Resolve that you are not going to be affected by troubles; you are not

going to be finicky; you are not going to be a victim of habits and

moods; you are going to be free as a lark.

(Paramahansa Yogananda, `Self-Realization Magazine´
