Pilgrimage.

I haven't been on Pilgrimage.

But I have heard from those who have that you hardly get time for God.

Amidst countless and continuous actions, requirements and precautions, you somehow somewhere seem to be more occupied with ensuring that you perform the act right.

It is how somewhere somehow you just feel you just couldn't have enough. Not yet. The yearning remains, rather so often, it intensifies.

I haven't been on the pilgrimage but I have heard so from different people.

I think I know what they mean.

Life then just seems like an extended version, rather a zoomed out version of the same pilgrimage. Wherein, often a times, you expect and yearn for the Meeting, which doesn't just quite happen fully. Doesn't just quite happen absolutely. If it does, it lasts barely a second or more.

It seems just when you step up, pleading a meeting, He sends your way, another action. Here, perform this first. Here, love humans first. Here, express gratitude to this blessing first. Here, bear patiently this suffering first. Here, love for My Love first.

Amidst what seems so material and mere performance of duties, obligations and expectations, you seem to be constantly experiencing and living each in the Hope of Final Meeting. In the hope of quenching that Yearning in you.

Through His world, He makes you feel the vacuum. The void. The Yearning. The incomplete in the complete. The slight pain in that Absolute Peace. The Missing.

Impatiently, succumbing to your ego, to your self, you run away from the Yearning.

In that each second of Missing Him, lies Him. In thaf each moment of killing the Yearning to be with His world, lies Surrendering to Him.

In the Pilgrimage, you find Him by being your best at your actions within the physical sphere of this Life.

In the Pilgrimage of Life it seems, you find Him by being your best at your actions within the Worldly sphere of this Life.

You find Him not in the satisfaction of all day worship on a prayer mat.
You find Him in the pain and joy of living the daily life.
You find Him in waiting.
You find Him in combating your self and doing what your conscience says you should against the comfortable palaces of ego, pride and arrogance.

You find Him in sacrificing what you love the most in ways unimaginable each moment.
He doesn't give for you to own, He gives for you to Love Him through what He gives you.

He lies in smiling for each joy and suffering of worldly life.

I haven't been on the pilgrimage, but I have heard so.
