Hanging with Hafiz
There is a pearl in you, a treasure of great value, which cannot be divided. It is priceless. Do not try to sell off pieces. It must be kept whole, for you cannot separate your true nature. What cannot be separated cannot be joined in unity. There is no this without that. There cannot be one without two, nor union without separation. The appearance of the world is a trick. It is all false perceptions, and you are lost in its illusion. You are living in a hole of ignorance from which you can crawl out, if you wish. Although you have confined your life within earthen walls, there is a river of wisdom flowing in you which never stops. The flowing is your true nature. Let wisdom lift you from the hole. Forget yesterday. Hold no hope for tomorrow. Step into the flow. In that moment you will know freedom. Listen to Jesus when he says to sell your worldly ways to buy the pearl of great value. Hold it in secret, for there is no one to tell of this tale. You alone are the one. You are the whole of the all. There is no other.
