Attending to Attar, Day 82
Do not cry out that you are God. There is no you. There is no God. All that you ever have experienced is the illusion that the me of the body and its thoughts are real. This is existence, not reality. Reality abides within as the eternal I AM. You are I AM. Let the glow of I AM shine through you. Do not hide in the shadows of the world. The shadows are reminders of existence. Forget those reminders and remember only your true nature. Annihilate your worldly self, knowing that your true nature cannot be destroyed. In an afterlife, eternal existence remains existence, the soul continues as separation, and God persists as a construct in the illusion of it all. Beyond your thoughts of an afterlife, beyond your thoughts of nonexistence, non-being, and nothingness lies your true nature. Your true nature is beyond thoughts and words. Simply call it, I AM. To live only as the me of the body is to remain ignorant of I AM. Awaken to I AM in you. You have the gift of awareness. You can know from within what you cannot know outwardly. Reject the self. Ride with awareness into the darkness of the tomb. You do not know the way. The light of awareness will guide you. As you enter the room-within, you will have abandoned the self and all its attachments to the world. You will know, without words, that you are I AM.
