COME HOME TO YOUR SOUL
Awaken! If not now, when?
It is to be conscious of the spirit that makes one spiritual*.*
(Hazrat Inayat Khan)** **
How many of
us can honestly say that our everyday life supports becoming conscious of
sprit, conscious of our soul? For most
of us, to embody and bring our eternal formless dimension into the world
is the most challenging aspect
of our spiritual life. The force
of the world ego, the magnitude of problems we are faced with, the weight of
world suffering can be overwhelming. We lose touch with our soul; that in us which is one
with the One.
Our daily
practice can only do so much. To deepen our capacity to be awake and present
moment to moment, and to crack open the mostly unnoticeable protective shell
around our hearts, we need time and open space, without pressure, to as Rumi says
“amble about like an untied camel”.
In releasing the stress of deadlines, the
pressure to perform our roles, the strain of producing something or getting
somewhere- our soul, untethered,
can at last discover its own nature: vast, spacious, free, and luminous, always right here but obscured and veiled by our
body tension, restless mind and unsatisfied heart.
Come to the*** mystic,*** * and sit when you are tired of all other remedies
that you have employed in vain; come and take a glass of**** wine***with her.
The*** mystic wine***is the inner absorption, which removes all
the worries and anxieties and troubles and cares of the physical and mental
plane.
It is the*** mystic***who is at rest. It is she who teaches the
way to attain that peace and happiness which are the original heritage of our
soul.
