Within people there is a longing and a desire such that, even if a hundred thousand worlds were theirs to own, still they would find no rest or comfort. They try every trade and craft, studying astronomy, medicine and every other subject, but they reach no completion, for they have not found their true desire. Poets call the Beloved “heart’s ease,” because there the heart finds ease. How can we find peace and rest in anything but the Beloved? - Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
Every journey begins with a tiny step and every step that that is taken to the Divine is a step of a thousand years. These steps lead us through a trail of enlightening spiritual guidance through an abode of endless delight.
At times, we fall prey to the traps of not realizing that the touch and taste is merely a drop and without a connection the drop takes us to an attachment to its physical reality absorbing us into its essence and imprisoning us to its attributes. Whereas, acknowledging that this drop comes from an ocean that exists beyond our comprehension frees us, allowing us to dive deep into its vastness. Nothing exists but this Great Ocean, which is our Eternal Home, our Abode of Truth.
Like a river we flow from peaks rushing to unite with the Oneness of the Ocean. But there are hindrances and obstacles that sometimes slow us down and channel us through different canals. Nevertheless, we still eventually meet our destination.
When we look upon other souls we see many rivers still running and we meet some who are Oceans who have already reached the vastness. With the rivers we unite and congregate to flow with support into our destined realities and with the Oceans we plunge into as they absorb us to give us a taste of the Divine.
O Master,
Let me be the river you absorb
Your Ocean is my longing
Your Light is my support
Endlessly running
to You I yearn to Unite
until all will perish
and be One with your Light
