物质存在就像燃烧着的森林大火，灼烧着我们内心。谁能说自己内心没因物质生活的焦虑在灼烧呢?这世界上，我们渴望得到的一切救赎和幸福，都被这炽热的熊熊大火消耗殆尽。我们的所有成功、造诣，最终在物质存在的烈日下化为泡影。
在这艰难的境况下，人们忍受着痛苦。灵性追求者们祈祷至上显现在他们的生命中，将他们从存在中的疼痛苦难里解救出来。
经过长时间被物质存在的烈日和森林大火地灼烧，开始集结的美丽黑色雨云带来了巨大的希望。我们感受到了庇护，感受到了保护。雨云的黑，是雨要降临的预示，是至上的仁慈之雨。雨是滋养，是给予生命的仁慈，它将我们从烈焰灼烤中解救出来，滋养万物。至上降临，祂的仁慈之雨填满我们的生命。接着由于祂的神圣仁慈，将从我们内在奔涌而出的所有美妙好运和幸福赐予我们。
Material existence is like a burning forest fire. It is burning our hearts. Who can say that their hearts are not burning due to the anxieties of material life? All our attempts for relief and happiness in this world are consumed by this burning, blazing forest fire. All of our success and credible accomplishments are ultimately evaporated by the sun of material existence.
In this difficult situation, people are suffering. Spiritually-minded people pray for God to come into their lives and relieve them of the pains and suffering of this existence.
After a long stretch of being burnt by the sun and the forest fire of material existence, the onset of the beautiful blackish rain clouds brings great hope. We feel refuge; we feel sheltered. The blackness in the rain clouds indicates the presence of rain, the rain of God's mercy. That rain is the nourishing, life-giving mercy that relieves us from the heat of the sun and give nourishment to all living beings. When God comes, the rains of His mercy fill our lives. Then all wonderful fortune and happiness from within are bestowed upon us by His divine mercy.
