This , for me, was one of the finest passages I read in Awakin Readings....
It helps us understand the dignity of grief, suffering, loss, and even Grace of God inherent even in those defeated in Life.
Except Jesus, no other god-characters have truly won. They sacrificed spiritual victory to gain the historical victory in the worldly game.
I feel a dignity of Divine in the Story of Christ who followed what he saw as Truth and found resurrection.
He had to experience crucifixion and express bewildering - Father, why hast thou forsaken me?
Thy will be done. This was the greatest expression of love from a human character in the Story for the Author of the Story. Here, Human won the Game, if we put it in such frivolous terms, against even God.
Human transcended the confines put by Author by not trying to win and accepting defeat totally with no grievance and complete love. One friend once told me just suddenly - Acceptance is Grace.
I understand the meaning of those words now, clearly.
Jesus embodied the Holy Spirit the moment he did - Thy will be done.
Acceptance is Surrender and Let-Go. We can only Let-Go what we accept as it is. We free our soul through acceptance.
This can only be understood intuitively and not logically and by reasoning it out in Thought. Thought ends here and some deeper intelligence takes over from here which is God.
