The work is like this, we find a pearl amongst a whole lot of stuff. Then we have to slog through heaps of stuff to find another pearl and so on and so on. All that stuff is our karmic mess, our ignorance, our wrong perceptions and concepts, our wrong attitudes etc.
Then along comes a speck of a pearl and more slogging then later comes a pearl. The experience is more slogging then pearling. To hold onto the pearl and keep it fixed within us is even another a slog.
That's how it is. I don't know if it is any different for anyone else. We can come to really like the slogging away. We have to! We have to love it! Take joy in it! After all each slog or swing of the axe is one swing less, one kilo lighter, one inch closer to a liberating pearl.
Sometimes we could be very close to a pearl but we stop slogging. We never know when one will appear. We never know how close we are! It does not make sense to give up slogging because we won't find anything else that is different, if it is freedom that we really want.
Where or what can we find different than the slog. Anything else breaks the law or is not real. The slog brings out your heart, your will, the real stuff in you to cause the real to appear and blossom.
End (3771).
