Desolation

If we would lose every material thing and each one of the positions that we occupy in life , from the greatest to the smallest including the sentimental ones . All this wouldn't be compared , not even for an instant to the absence of the real Being .
The spirit clamors when , by virtue of the spiritual awakening , the separation from God , is realized as an unbearable desolation . Great evils may happen . Good health may disappear . And death may be present . Our loved ones may abandon us . But not even for an instant , these situations can be compared with the suffering and desolation of the separation from God . This may not be understood and the explanation follows : We are formed , made, in such a psychological manner , that we only tend to think about ourselves . But when spirituality blooms , and the presence of God is discovered , then He is no longer an invisible being or a power who only lives in heaven but it is realized that His Presence is the life in every being . When He is not present in the loved one , then , desolation happens. The spiritual awakening permits this realization . And the greatest desolation is to realize God's absence . This stage is known as the dark night of the soul and it is a significant characteristic of the spiritual awakening . The understanding of the moral values and spiritual essence is forged in this way . It is worth to say , know and recognize the importance of the presence of God .
