“THE ALCHEMIST”
We are all alchemists.
In fact, the hardships each of us experiences are the time to utilize the alchemist skills the most.
If we can see hardships as gifts from The Self (God) and grant them their true value (=alchemy, i.e., gain universal wisdom or become aware of previously unrealized ourselves), we will no longer be able to experience hardships.
On the other hand, if we keep to complain about hardships (resist what is) and to expect others or society to be responsible for happiness (which is a trap of the mind (ego) as fooling ourselves, a victim mentality), we will not only be unable to deepen spiritual awakening, but also not get out of such a mindset of unhappiness.
Until we ourselves become aware of this mind (ego), we will eventually keep to find some reason outward for our unhappiness, blame others or society, and ask them to improve.
The former is the state of awareness, of being an alchemist, that is, living in the “now”, walking on a journey of spiritual awakening, a pathless road to God. The latter is spiritually blind and deaf due to identification with the mind (ego) or body, seeing things but not being able to see the true nature, hearing sounds but not being able to comprehend the silent voice of silence, knowing many things but not having practical wisdom through a connection with the essence. This means in fact, that the alchemist in essence is still sleeping deep within because the latter is entangled in the stories and illusions created by the mind (ego).
No one else in the world can awaken this inner alchemist except you.
On the flip side, this also means that everyone has their own divine timing, and you can never awaken another person (their own alchemist).
And the only way to awaken this inner alchemist is to be (abide) in the innermost stillness.
Other than that, there is no other way.
Furthermore, in that innermost stillness, listening sincerely to the bare facts that the stillness speaks without word, and humbly being guided by that voiceless voice, is how we walk the pathless road of spiritual awakening toward “God, The Self,” which is not a mere concept or religious image.
