This source of tears that springs.
Sometimes we happen to soil but it is through tears that we renew our purity first.
Tears are like the boundary between our bodily state and our spiritual state, as the transition point between the present time and the time to come in which we can enter through anticipation already in this life.
The newborn child is crying when we come into this world.
We should never give and receive love without shedding tears.
Tears can restore lost virginity.
It is essential to distinguish three kinds of tears : sensual tears, spiritual tears and devilish tears.
The tears diabolical, – Greek “diabolikos”, cut in two – are the tears to pretend, crocodile tears, the tears that opportunely allow the individual to put himself in correspondence with this which suits him to circumvent. These are the tears of despair, the tears hypocrisy that deceive the company and sink us into falsehood by the cleavage that takes place in us, we also deceive ourselves.
The tears sensual are generally linked to the passions. These are the fruits of anger, frustration, envy, self-pity or simply nervous excitement. They express our sadness at living in a world that does not live up to our aspirations. It is not forbidden to cry in the face of a great trial or at a funeral ; it is even rather wise, because the tears can act like a balm and the wound is deeper when the pain is repressed.
The tears spiritual are not the result of our own efforts. They are a gift from elsewhere. They are closely linked to the depths of ourselves. They bring us to new life. They are of two orders. To the degree the lower, they are bitter and purify us ; they are like the blood that flows from the wounds of our soul. To the highest degree, they are soft and commit us to a form of enlightenment prelude to a better elsewhere ; they indicate the spiritualization of our senses and participate in the transformation of the human person. These two types of spiritual tears should not, however, be too sharply opposed, because one leads to another. What is born as tears of regret can turn into tears of gratitude and joy.
The one who put on the robe bridal affliction of tears, knows the marriage of the spiritual laughter of the soul and the lonely calm of distant spaces.
