Ruminating with Rumi
I am discrete awareness in the continuous sea of awareness that is I AM. I am one molecule of water in an ocean that has no shores. I am the water. I am the ocean. There is no separation.
You are lost in separation. To follow the me of the body is to lose your way home to the sea. It does not know. Twia knows. Walk with twia in reverence of your true nature, in awe of your power and grace. You are the one ocean. There is no other.
You consider the me of the body to be real. It is born. It lives. It dies. All the while you consider it as you. You are not the body or its personality. Neither are you its thoughts and emotions.
Death while living awakens you to reality. Die to the dream and awaken to twia. In twia you are the witness to all. To stay attuned to twia is to live in harmony with the whole of the all. Look into the mirror. See your reflection as the one who knows. You are aware of all as one. To reflect the ways of the world is to live in a foreign place. Its ways are not yours. Its dust covers you in pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. You belong elsewhere. Do not wander alone. Follow twia. Turn within. You are evolving in a world of existence without understanding where you are in reality. You have forgotten your true nature. Twia knows the way out. Let twia lead the way home to the sea.
