How can we have perfect bliss? We will know perfect bliss when we arrive cold, tired, and happy at our destination. We will knock at the door, and the pub keeper will scold us and refuse to open the door. When we wait until the morning in the snow, slush, and wind, cold and drenched, without any feeling of malice for this man, we shall pray for him. Only then will we know perfect bliss.
I have a book of daily quotes complied by Leo Tolstoy. This is one he chose for the beginning of the New Year. I thought it would be good for our second daily devotion of 2022 for Salvogesis. After all, What good is it to add to our own suffering of external harms, internal ones of hatred and discontent?
