In India it has been taught for centuries that the soul has two faces. One face is turned toward God and knows itself as being made of the same holy essence. The other face is turned toward creation, and although it knows itself as divine, it can experience birth and death. Although both are aspects of your soul, without one you would never have left God and eternity to enter your body. Without the other you would never know that something sacred lies behind the mask of the material world.
I often marvel at the ingenuity of grace, which contains infinity in the finite, bliss inside pain, clarity despite the fog, love despite conflict. This is God’s magic act, to make us so that we will be both born and undying.

+ add your ownI wish to echo Heather G's comment: I love these brief, inspiring gems of wisdom!
As far as other comments are concerned, where contributing comments seemingly get lost: Sitting in a remote region, I found that comments may not show up immediately, but do so maybe a day later. Before I came to realise that, I would repeat a comment, only to have it appear a couple of times.
Each time I read Deepak's articles I experience the pure pleasure of knowledge.
thanks for the post
Thanks for the article.
Thank you, beautiful article
Interesting, thanks
food for thought
What about the Goddess?
Thank you.
we just need to take the 'time' to reflect and realize. but we usually don't.
Other note - i've heard of many others who lost their 'comments', etc. Guess it was a glitch in the system. Some were pretty upset.
