Do you want a sign that you're asleep? here it is: you're suffering. suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. suffering occurs when you clash with reality. when your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. otherwise there is no suffering.

The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.
Faith Teaching People
The discipline of suffering, of great suffering- do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? that tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, its shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, preserving, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness- was it not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?

Tulips come up in spring for no reason. of course, you planted bulbs and now in april the earth warms up. but why? for no reason except gravity. why gravity? for no reason. and why did you plant red tulip bulbs to begin with? for beauty, which is itself and has no reason. so the world is empty. things rise and fall for no reason. and what a great opportunity that is! you can start writing again at any minute. let go of all your failures and sit down and write something great. or write something terrible and feel great about it.
Letting Go Spring Fall
Do not avoid contact with suffering or close your eyes before suffering. do not lose awareness of the existence of suffering in the life of the world. find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means, including personal contact and visits, images, sounds. by such means, awaken yourself and others to the reality of suffering in the world.
