One of the major breakthroughs that we can have in our spiritual life can lead to melancholy.

And that breakthrough is like when we kind of get it, that the things or the people whom I've placed my heart with

they will not be able to bring me lasting happiness you know that's yeah it's yeah it's

yeah it sounds a little sad but it's actually liberating to realize it when when

there's something to hold on to we can let go of that when we when within we can hold on to
