Universal Truth, Love, and Teachings

The work, the teachings, the truth, the love are universal.  How to operate out of internal peace while interacting with 2 legged beings and the Earth's drama?   The process will be the same no matter what!  The new control valve is Absolute Love and noticing when that starts to be disturbed.  Is my ego messing with something that it doesn't need to or is an action needed?  If the action is "needed" than I would act in alignment with the Absolute Truth and there would be no disturbance internally while acting.  The key to conscious action is not to fall out of Absolute Love.

The depth of Absolute Love is limitless.  The feeling is unlike any other and when I speak about it with others, we all tend to tear up and become emotional at touching the Divine Essence.  Everything else experienced becomes secondary.  The sense of internal fulfillment is indescribable--nothing bought, owned, tasted, touched, heard, seen can compare even though there are moments that are glimmers.  

It was such a privilege to talk about this with Gurudev and a small group who have known Gurudev for over 10 years--one person even met Pahari Baba.  Consciousness, Divine Love, Absolute Truth, the Guru's work, and more all sound normal to them.  At least I can talk about it with "the group in the know" and not sound crazy.  They even asked if I was writing it all down.  

Gurudev was explaining that the Guru is like a clothes washer, ceramicist, painter, blacksmith, and more cleaning stains, shaping clay, painting, and bending iron to help us on our paths, but without breaking the fabric.  Sometimes scrubbing hard, other times wringing out the fabric, banging on the metal, gently shaping the vessel as needed while we are moving through life.

The grace and privilege of meeting "your Guru" is unequivocally the most profound and life changing moment that one can experience.  The context from which one operates will never be the same.  The true Guru never asks for anything.  All is offered out of the purest most Absolute Love that a humble human being can even remotely begin to understand.

Should I be surprised that this showed up in the Bowl of Saki after I wrote this blog.  Divine Synchronicity!!!!  Thank you for the affirmation as I try to consciously share my lessons through the limitations of words.

Love is the essence of all religion, mysticism and philosophy.                         Bowl of Saki, February 3, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Love is the practice of the moral of Suluk, the way of beneficence. The lover's pleasure is in the pleasure of the beloved. The lover is satisfied when the beloved is fed. The lover is vain when the beloved is adorned. 'Who in life blesses the one who curses him? Who in life admires the one who hates him? Who in life proves faithful to the one who is faithless? No other than a lover.' And in the end the lover's self is lost from his vision and only the beloved's image, the desired vision, is before him for ever. Love is the essence of all religion, mysticism, and philosophy, and for the one who has learnt this, love fulfills the purpose of religion, ethics, and philosophy, and the lover is raised above all diversities of faiths and beliefs.    from  http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/V/V_24.htm For the Sufi there is one principle which is most essential to be remembered and that is consideration for human feeling. If one practices in his life this one principle he need not learn much more; he need not trouble about philosophy, he need not follow an old or a new religion, for this principle in itself is the essence of all religions. God is love, but where does God dwell? He abides in the heart of man.    ~~~ "Sangatha I, Khawas", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)
