Have a question about this? Bring it to Dipa Ma.
People come to me with a specific kind of guilt: they are not healed yet. They have been grieving for what others consider too long. They are still tired when they should be recovered.
I want to say something plainly: you do not have a timeline. There is no correct pace for the work you are doing.
The idea that there is a correct pace comes from a culture that treats healing as a project — something that can be managed, optimized, completed. This is a useful model for many things. It is not useful for grief, for chronic illness, for the slow rebuilding of a self that has been damaged.
The pace you are moving is the pace. There is not another one available. This is not resignation — it is accuracy.
What I have found is that the attempt to be healed faster is itself a form of suffering layered on top of the original suffering. You are not only carrying the grief — you are also carrying the judgment that you are carrying it wrong. This second weight is optional. It does not produce healing. It produces exhaustion.
What produces movement is presence to what is actually there. Not pressure toward where you should be, but genuine contact with where you are.
