Hanging with Hafiz
There is a beginning to your existence. You were born as the me of the body. Birth started your experience of separation. You feel like you are apart from all else. You see this and that. You go here and there. It all seems normal and real.
The beginning is alpha. The ending, omega. In between is life. Where do you stand in your life? Do you feel like you are straddling between this world and another? Something within says there is more to you than your life between birth and death. You sense a state of being somewhere beyond that is beautiful to behold. When you embrace it, you feel love. Fear is gone. Joy is its ecstasy. The me of the body, with its pleasures and pains, happinesses and sorrows, is remembered as illusion. The reality that you gave to your existence shimmers like a mirage in the heat of worldly desire. You now see your true nature within. It is in the room-within that you see life as illusion. In the room-within you know beyond alpha and omega.
