People cross oceans, search for new lands, and risk everything because hope drives them. But what happens when all hope seems to disappear, when every candle has gone out: love, faith, peace of mind, everything? How can a person continue when nothing seems left?
Hope remains when we come to understand that everything is in the hands of the Creator, the upper force of love, bestowal, and connection that created and sustains reality. At that moment, we realize with certainty that nothing is in our own hands. This understanding becomes the new candle of hope.
Why does the Creator always leave us this last candle? It is because, at the very last moment, when we feel completely lost, the Creator catches us and continues the path together with us. That small remaining light is the point of connection between us in this world and the higher reality.
Moreover, this candle does not go out. It always remains lit. It accompanies us throughout life, even when we do not feel it.
There are no states in which this candle truly disappears. The Creator is good and does good, and therefore the connection between Him and us always exists. Otherwise, we would never have been born, because the Creator already sees the entire path of our life from beginning to end.
Why, then, do we so often fail to see this candle and lose hope? It is because we are not properly attuned to our existence. We do not look deeply enough into the reality in which we live.
The correct attitude is to remember that the goodness of the Creator is always before us. Even when everything seems dark, this small candle continues to stay lit, guiding us forward.
