Attending to Attar, Day 55
Enter the room-within without anticipation. Expect nothing. Bring emptiness to emptiness. You do not know, so do not try to second guess. Do not attempt to drag preconceptions across the threshold. Forget what you have learned in the world. Open your heart. Gladden it with thanksgiving. Welcome your own presence into its being. The pleasures of the world will give way to joy. Submit to joy. Let joy be in every breath. Let joy overcome sorrow. The darkness of sorrow cannot survive in its light. Remember, you are greater than your existence in the world. To live in joy is to live beyond the me of the body. Your existence is transitory. You are eternal. You have no end. You cannot be limited. You are the light that is joy. You are joy. You are the one. There is no other.
