Your Pain Is the Breaking of the Shell That Encloses Your Understanding

Every great revelation is preceded by pain, says the Prophet. Spiritual growth can make you ache in the body but your body compensates with strength. Like if you have a dry spell in dating, one time it will just be broken by a flood of lovers. You can be impoverished for years and years and years, but if you toil intelligently, you receive a windfall,. It's the same with fame. People always look and say, oh, this person became famous overnight.
