I here intend to show you how one may come to find such solace—within one’s inmost self—and then shall have no further need to be consoled by others. No consolation you receive from others can ever free you from the shackles of your grief—unless such comfort teaches you how you may break those chains yourself. And how that inner art is learned, and put to use, the present work will teach you. Solace is of value only as a counter-force: an energy that lends you strength to overcome the hostile force of grief. No grief is everlasting, and you alone have power to prolong its life beyond its given span. If you would find enduring solace in yourself you must not blindly delve into your grief, nor constantly reopen wounds that are about to heal. It is above all else essential that your thoughts shall not continuously dwell upon and cleave to what you suffer. In times of grief, the hours that you spend at work—provided you are working as one ought to work—will always be a respite that allows you to recover from tormenting thoughts.

Bo Yin Ra

Bo Yin Ra is the spiritual proper name of the author and artist Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken(1876-1943).He was born in Aschaffenburg,Germany, and died in Massagno/Lugano,Switzerland, where he had lived since 1925. His formal education as a painter began at the Staedel Art Institute in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, and then took him to Vienna,Munich, and Paris. The literary legacy of Bo Yin Ra includes forty titles, published between 1919 and 1939, in Germany and Switzerland.Thirty-two of these works comprise a closely related cycle which the author gathered under the title of Hortus Conclusis(The Enclosed Garden).In his books he addresses questions and concerns that, in the language of religion and philosophy, pertain to final things-the mysteries of mortal and eternal life, of God, the origin and goal of human existence- and gives advice on how one ought to live this present life to lay up treasures in the life to come. What sets these books apart from other writings on these topics is their author`s apart from other writings on these topics is their author`s background and horizon.Thus, he does not give the reader the results of learned thinking, speculations, and beliefs, nor any new religion, but should instead be used as maps that guide the reader safely through the labyrinth of this existence to the goal that every spiritually concerns human beings finally desires to attain.
