Sharing the Light

A medical doctor in the West wrote a beautiful book "the extraordinary healing power of the ordinary things". In a short conclusion, there are a lot of small and ordinary things that appear to be trivial, small, simple but proved to have remarkable healing effect.

It can be a prayer, worship, singing, smiling, walking in the open air, singing with the children, walk hand in hand with parents, enjoy the sunrise, smiling with deep gratitude at sunset, taking good care of the garden, thankful smile to the blooming flowers, feel the joy of jumping dolphins or running rabbits, love animals and many more others.

In short, whatever the daily activities that are done with full of smile, full of love, full of deep gratitude, it can give a profound healing effect. The logic is very simple. Every souls who often do good things to anyone or anything, there is a deep feeling of being meaningful and useful arise within.

The last feeling of being useful and meaningful make a person wake up more happily early in the morning, make spiritual travelers having more energy in daily life, and make them go to sleep at night with deep gratitude. In totality, all of these improve the immune system within the body which in turn makes the body can heal itself.

Especially in the age where spiritual darkness present here and there. From the mental hospital which are full everywhere, the rising rate of divorce in every corner of the world, until the increasing number of suicide from time to time. These spiritual signals are like holy bells that keep calling bright souls to keep sharing the light.

To make it simple, learn to do small things which appear to be trivial as noted above. It does not only heal the soul inside, but also share the light to the outside world. Not the ordinary light, but the light that makes heart soft and the mind flow, which are really needed by the earth which is burning here and there.

In a simple but profound language, the world is already full of cleverness, the world needs much more kindness. While cleverness like to build separating walls as we-they, kindness love to build the connecting bridge here and there.

That's the reason why this age admire Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, HH Dalai Lama. They all grow in different traditions and different countries, but they have one thing in common which is the perseverance and the consistency to always build bridge that connecting humanity.

Any heart who diligently build bridges in everyday life through kindness, they do not only heal their souls inside, but also share the light to the world outside. In meditation classes it is often shared a message like this: "the hands that serve share more lights than the lips that speak".

Unfortunately, this can only be understood deeply by those who put it into practice diligently and sincerely. This may not be fully understood by those who only understand through head and logic. As a concluding note, it is enough to meet the light, it is time to emit the light.
