Attending to Attar, Day 54
You are lost in the illusion of your existence. To cling to the body is to feel alone and afraid. You no longer remember the embrace of your true nature. If you continue to live entirely by the me of the body, you will die a thousand deaths and never know why. You will remain far from that which I AM. Burn down the house. Sit in the ashes. Annihilate all attachments to the world. The me of the body is nothing compared to your true nature. It is not real. It is transitory. You are eternal. You must release all attachments to enter the room-within. You cannot drag your treasures across the threshold. As the me of the body, you live from fear and ignorance. You are a pit of despair struggling to sustain yourself. You are blocked on the path by your own false pride. Be mindful, not of yourself, but of the way of the path. Find joy in its company. If you walk without awareness, pride will consume you. Pride will trap you in its brambles. Get up. Get going. Start the journey without expectation. Have no desired outcomes. To find your way, do nothing. The journey is not yours to take. Let it come to you. It will descend upon you in its own fashion.
