Attending to Attar, Day 53
Contentment is your bane. It does not move you toward the door of the room-within. Instead, you sit in satisfaction as if all were well. You are far from knowing your true perfection. Your tranquil life may suit you now, but it gets you nowhere on the path. You feel like an oasis surrounded by desert, and you wonder why you should journey across hot sands. Who would engage in such insanity? The me of the body fears the unknown, but there is more to you than bodily comfort. Ignorance has clouded your vision of reality. You are entangled in worldly desires and attachments. Your expectations of life are illusions. They are mirages surrounding your precious oasis. Do not be deluded by their false light. It deceives you and leads you to death. Stop drinking from the dry sands of ignorance. Knowledge of your true nature lies within. Make the journey when you are ready.
