130 sats \ 3 replies \ @anna 5 Dec \ on: Blessed are those eyes which sometimes fill with tears of love spirituality
I am so grateful for the power of water.. strong enough to carve through anything with time. So many of us can fake a smile or a laugh, tears are almost always real emotion coming through and it is beautiful to see.
This post reminds me of one of my favorite passages of all time (from the Brothers Karamazov)
The silence of the earth seemed to merge with the silence of the heavens, the mystery of the earth touched the mystery of the stars... Alyosha stood gazing and suddenly, as if he had been cut down, threw himself to the earth.
He did not know why he was embracing it, he did not try to understand why he longed so irresistibly to kiss it, to kiss all of it, but he was kissing it, weeping, sobbing, and watering it with his tears, and he vowed ecstatically to love it, to love it unto ages of ages. "Water the earth with the tears of your joy, and love those tears...," rang in his soul. What was he weeping for? Oh, in his rapture he wept even for the stars that shone on him from the abyss, and "he was not ashamed of this ecstasy."

This is a true depiction of what tears mean. For at least once I tried fakie tears to arouse for a favour, but as soon as I started crying, they were real and that was the day I understood the real bliss they have.
Another instance was when I was hardly a tenager, I went to Mathura to visit Bihari Ji temple and standing inside the temple in front of the lord, my tears started rolling down and I could feel some sense of detachment from everything. There was that flood of so powerful emotions, I always go through whenever I visit there.

That is beautiful. I think most of us usually have a backup of emotion to release. I have really enjoyed listening to a sad song or movie and just letting the tears out. It’s like you said, once I start crying I realize what I needed to release is very real.

As they say, "Tears are words that the heart could never say."
