i'm a hundred in, fleeting moments. durin lal qalandar, during bauls and qawaals, songs of lalon and nusrat, of hamza el din, and recitations of qari abdul basit...all praise is due for them...but then my heart drums like skinny love, in the cadence of bon iver meets morrisey meets robert smith...
pained by hopes gone astray, moments of doubt, lack of clarity of where i went wrong, how, how it could've been different, i am reminded, through brief readings of the Recitation, that the Ultimate Source is to be trusted, whole-heartedly, that all else will pass, but this book is written for those who believe in the One-ness, that understand that the One is the Ultimate Truth...
...the sermon this afternoon, from the young brother, spoke to this. he said that our attachments will undoubtedly lead to hurt, disappointment, grief, so long as they are of the mundane. afterall, how can you find hope in that which is instable, constantly in flux? how can you find peace in that which is fleeting? to find peace, to be assured in hope, anchor fully in the Source of Peace, in that which is Infinite - the One-ness...
...yes...it resonated, made sense...constant hurt and defeat due to attachments, thus creating a sense of failure, of letting down, of messing up. the speaker said that when we lose something that we found important to us, that we held dear, it is a true blessing, it is an opportunity at liveration, as we are liberated from that which we were attached to, and this frees us up to being without delusion, and trusting, anchoring fully in ONe...
what does this look like? how does this happen?
having hope in One, is praying, in complete Surrender. it is doing good deeds without expectation. it is to be of service, because our fellow man is hungry, sad, without shelter, angry, disturbed, hurting, oppressing, oppressed...it is to find LOve and give LOve unconditionally...it is to be in complete Surrender to parents, to do as they will, so long as it complements the One, worship to the One-ness, it is to do from a place of fearlessness, from a place of deep, invincible confidence in the One...doing this from a place of Trust...like handstands, and titibakasana, and standing splits, and the stand up...
it is to write and share, and share this offering of detox-reset, traditional medicine, to all those who need it...
i would like to offer this to 100 people. i would like you to sponsor them. it is an opportunity for them to be reset, to find peace...to do, because it has to be done...
what has to be done...the sharing of Love...the giving...the doing...the price will work itself out...
