Quiroga - 74

 AVOID BANALIZATION

The Life of our lives, the dimension in which we move and experience being, is sacred, but we insistently desecrate it through trivialization, relating to time as if it were an ingredient that just needs to pass, filled with entertainment and distractions, instead of relating to it as what it truly is, the raw material of our destinies.

How many sublime loves have been profaned by trivialization, how much lofty motivation has turned into misery when we brought it into our daily lives full of repetitions without tone or sound!

Trivialization is the sister of inertia, if we don't pay attention and cultivate the sacredness of life every day, it will inadvertently consume us and we will waste away along with it.

It is insufficient to think well and meditate, it is insufficient to carry out austerities to elevate ourselves spiritually, because while we are unable to bring the sacred into our daily lives, without, however, trivializing it, spirituality continues to be a beautiful, attractive and motivating distant utopia.
