Ruminating with Rumi
How reluctant you are to leave the body. So much so that you claim a soul after death. One lives in the other so that life and death are the same. The me of the body remains in the soul as it leaves the body. The soul gives existence to me after death of the body.
Do you dare leave body and soul entirely; to awaken to your true nature? You arrive at the door of death with body in hand, hoping to see your way through. You are blind in body. You cannot see. The way before you is veiled by the dust of existence. You clutch the body until the end, then grab onto the soul hoping to linger longer in separation. Fear of oblivion keeps you from letting go.
The way of the path is revealed in darkness. It leads you home to reality. To go forth in darkness is to trust in twia. To trust in twia is to step from body and soul into the darkness without seeing. The darkness is a cloud of unknowing between you and reality. Offer yourself to twia. Do nothing. You do not know. What intelligence can you add to consciousness? Are you more aware than I AM? The me of the body is but dust in a void of separation. Come to twia in emptiness, ready to receive. You need sight to see in darkness. The vision of twia is aglow in the light of wisdom.
Let body and soul be. Follow twia. Twia knows the way of the path out of darkness and into the light of reality. You are helpless on your own in the face of not knowing.
