On a feeling of Lack and Resentment
When the oft experienced veil of ignorance clouds the vision and we appear discrete separate bits to each other; when the “Unseen Hand” that is faithfully carrying each of us becomes invisible to our seeing, then we walk into the hell of feeling inadequate and lacking in love, in success, in capacity and so on. When Grace steps in dispelling the clouds over our eyes, once more the sun of the invisible hand becomes visible. We see that at every moment it is carrying each of us to our ‘unique optimum’ of success, love and capacity. The previous echo of ignorance intoning “I do not have what he/she has and so I feel small and resentment” is muted into the knowing; “My optimum is unique to me. Her optimum is unique to her. The ‘unseen hand’ knows exactly how much of the desired object/goal is good for me and carries me to that exactly measured optimum. More or less are meaningless. It is senseless to resent another’s achievement because what goes to that one was her due from the unseen hand. What is my due from that hand will know my face and come to me. Such a peace and contentment there is in dropping into that hand and allowing it to carry me moment to moment quenched in the contentment and security of recognising the infinite wisdom and love in each of its manoeuvres.
The unseen hand can open the vision into seeing that each apparently separate bit is just another becoming of the One; another manifestation of the mighty Mother! Then instead of shrinking when another is seen shining, the being breaks into the paean chant,"Jai Ma", victory to the Mother; exulting in how She shines through her myriad forms.
