I’m fully immersed in the world after denying it and opting for a way out of engaging in most of my life, and it’s beautiful. Spiritual life here is about going more deeply into the world and daily experiences, rather than a dissociative relationship with the world. I also still do yoga because it prevents inertia and shifts energy that can be present from being with the emotional pain of others in my daily work. Embodied spiritual life is very much about what you share with us, the love emanates naturally when we go within, and it deepens our relationship with the world. The Sufi Path is the light in the heart that guides the way. Thank you!
It's definitely always a dance - how to live - divine within knows the timings - so subtle these things - the matrix / the marketplace - so many distractions - our true true self - gentleness, sensitive, creative ... Thank you Kavi beautifully said.
I wanted to ask: what do you do when the self/ego says “NO”, “Danger”. I was wondering if some sort of will or effort was to be employed to move past this. But that doesn’t feel right. The notion of ongoing courtship suggests approaching the boundaries, but respecting them and perhaps loving them for being there. Thanks for sharing this.
Fighting what arises never brings resolution. Only loving what is, what arises, softens it and us. But we must also be careful not to indulge. The path of surrender and determination is the razor's edge. When i say 'courtship,' I mean becoming intimate with the taste, the texture, the message, the felt sense, and the purpose of what this rsistance is, of what the ego self is doing and why is it defending so rigorously. It's an ever deepening intimacy that leads to a dissolving of it. Good question, good inquiry. x
Thank you so so much💌! Exactly what I needed to get reminded of.❤
