...in the name of the One... ness... Compassion... Mercy... have Mercy... please...
...do you have mercy?... do you show mercy to yourself, to your body? to your family friends strangers?... how?... i show mercy through these ancient practices... salat... dua... dhikr... mantra... asana... pranayama... ahimsa... soucha... poetry... writing... dream journaling... Quietude...
...i could go deeper in my Service... in my karma yoga... as the whole Purpose of our Being is to worship... and the way to worship is through your selfless service to the Creation... as ALLAH conveys and as krsna tells arjuna... work is better than devotion but for the learned... they are one and the same... "work is worship", the prophet muhammad said...
...what is your Work?... your karma yoga... how are you serving?... i've been encountering people who have offerings... things they sell... that become a medium of interaction with the public... and opportunity to Connect and also make a living... sustain themselves... this has been drawing me... it will keep me from running after Connection and instead have meaningful Connection through the prescription - Work...
....when you show up... You Are showing up for Work that needs to be done... not gain followers... not to grow your instagram... but because the Work requires doing... as greta has shown us... showing up at her consulate and skipping school to do so... taking a boat across the atlantic... not to get press and followers but to raise an issue so existential that it involves all of us...
...what's something you feel strongly about...?... so strange that it requires this level of attention... think beyond what is acceptable... what is normal... what would be cool...
...when i think about it... what comes up for me is migration... of having to leave and relocate and the impact this has on your ancestry and culture and the cultures that you move into and how it impacts all of us and how more than legal and illegal... its is why is it happening...?... what concerns me is individualism... why are we not talking to each other...?... why are we so conditioned to think only for ourselves and that when people get together and become a community they are labeled as a cult or something derogatory?... what concerns me is the lies... the lies of trends... of being convinced to buy something to be part of something or risk not being part... of the lies of food and what's int he supermarket and how it's killing us... of mono cultures and big agriculture and the do you and be an entrepreneur without any consideration for anything or anyone else...
...i guess what yogini has taught me is that when you are in samadhi you move from that place of Truth... instead of fighting it... it becomes Compassion Mercy...
