Why Haggle With God?

God is trying to sell you something

But you don’t want to buy.

That is what your suffering is:

Your fantastic haggling,

Your manic screaming over price.

Hafez

the end of suffering…

We cause most of our own suffering if not all of it. It’s our way to justify being small and cowardly. Directly or indirectly we blame God for it all. But God has no part in our suffering, his hand is always extended towards us while we insist on looking away. When will we turn our head back towards God and grasp his hand to safety and peace?
