When a mystic goes nearer the Divine, he experiences ' The Dark Night of the Soul '
He has had his experiences of Bliss. But the Path of Return or the Solar Path ( yoga ) is also not a bed of roses. He who dare not hold the thorns, need not crave for the rose ! So there will be many trials ans tribulations !
Which are indeed naught else
But the protractive trials of high Jove
To find persistent constancy in men !
Rebounding Karma catches his unawares. But he has to understand that they are Wages ( of sin ) and that Initiation is a process of intensive culture and acceleration. Janmantara Kritham Papam Vyadhi Roopena Jayathe.
No growth is possible without resistance to draw out latent power. Gold has to be burnt for perfection. The wise recognise negativity as the inevitable clearing process and maintain equanimity.
The best way during this period is to chant the names of the Lord. One should know that the Lord is with the initiate eternally. Anu vrajami Aham Nityam " Fear thou not, I am with thee" !
