When he comes out of the blue
A meteroite shattering your home,
Be sure God is visiting you.
When you are beyond all hope
When you are robbed of the whole world
and your voice becomes eloquent
Be sure God is visiting you.

Have you ever had an extremely tiring day and collapsed on your bed only for all thought to subside in you? As the tiredness slowly takes over, it is almost like you are too tired to even think and fall into deep peaceful sleep.
As is physical tiredness so is internal tiredness. In times of deep internal destruction, I have wrestled with my thoughts and emotions until my insides hurt. Internal fatigued to my maximum, I've been at the doorstep of nothingness many a times - where you cannot see further, when there is no path. That feeling causes an internal collapse.
And that collapse leads to surrender. Surrender to the Divine. At your most powerless, most vulnerable moment is when God visits you, rendering a peace that passes mental thought and understanding. There is no room for logic. In surrender, you detach - you flow.
As I read the above words by Tukaram (thanks to a beautiful friend for introducing me to them) I became absolutely sure of Divinity's presence as it flows through every breath in my Life. Instant Peace.
Let's face it - we all sit on the fence with Divinity at times, especially when its rough seas and we feel like abandoned children left to fend for ourselves. And we question, God where are you now. God why am I going through this? God what have I done to deserve this?
Beautifully, the mystics have always spoken of embracing the pain of this world, like an old friend. And when you do, God will come visit you. When you accept the circumstances or your 'situation' you understand the difference between 'life' and 'situation' and that the 'situation' is a part of your life, not your breath of life itself.
When you completely destroyed with nowhere to turn to, take a deep breath and be aware of the breath you slowly take. Give that breath attention and know it holds the power of your life.
Not the situation you are in.
Let God visit you. Often.
