Ruminating with Rumi
Jesus is inclusive. All are welcome at his table. To include all is to heal all. Jesus spoke of the whole of the all, or the kingdom of God on Earth. This is consciousness in existence. Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is within. He said you can look here and there and not find it. It is not in separation. It lies within. He said to knock on the door. It is open to all. Enter the room within and receive. To receive is to sit in the still, dark silence. Do nothing. Your true nature will come to you as wisdom and joy. The way of joy is to love without fear. Love all in your path. You are the one. There is no other.
You are the flowing of the river, pouring undeterred through all. Do not endure separation. Live in joy with all. To ignore the river, to alter its course, to dam its flow is to live in separation. You think you know a better way than the river, but you do not know. The me of the body is ignorant. You may find yourself in darkness, but the shadows shift to reveal the light. You can hide in the shadows, but shadows do not exist without the light. The light glows in the darkness to reveal your true nature.
The river will not abide your interference. It is always ready to return to its natural course. You can turn your back to the river to follow the way of the world, but the river has its natural path to follow. The way of the path is the river’s natural course to the sea. It cannot be denied. You cannot hide in the shadows forever. The light within will shift to reveal its presence. The light wants to be seen. Separation is transitory. It cannot be sustained by you in the world. Learn to live as twia in the whole of the all. Let the river flow freely in its natural way. Follow its course. Return to your true, eternal nature.
In the spirit of Jesus, restrain the me of the body. If you knew your fate you would not live to see it. If the spirit grows weak, then the body becomes a dragon that must be fed. Do not feed the dragon. Listen to your inner guide. It is wise in overcoming the travails of the world. Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem. He did not arrive on a dragon.
