"The more painful a situation, the more you are being asked to understand"

 True enlightenment requires a detachment from all outcomes, all expectations, and all desires.

The more painful a situation,
The more you are being asked to understand.

 The more difficult the lesson,
The more you are being asked to learn. 

The darker the light becomes,
The more you are being asked to shine.

 The more intense the hurt,
The harder you being asked to love.

 The more you feel you want to hold on,
The more you are being asked to let go. 

All experiences are lessons, trials, and opportunities for growth. 

You must release the idea of good or bad - and simply be, and trust in the divine. 

That's a connection only you can break.
