Your Real Self

“…You must have Seen yourself by now – I mean the real Self.  It must have at least passed close by one day, maybe even stepped on your toes.  Or drafted you somewhere. That Self, upon your seeing it, gave you the idea of how eternity could be endured, because of a tremendous enchantment you felt for a grace emanating from all things, and your soul now the epicenter.  Your own presence, upon every throne.  Such an incandescence you emanated, and so magnificently sovereign you felt, that rightfully, rightfully, all your ideas of God would look very pale if they had the audacity to stand next to you, when your sight was clear… and all your power revealed” – Hafiz

WOW.  Seriously.  That is one powerful piece of poetry, one insightful and revealing bunch of words, HAFIZ KNEW… like really knew.  Whatever he has- I have, whatever he was, I am… I have seen my real Self.. I have experienced the moment when the drop became the ocean – never again can I remain ‘just’ the drop, it shattered my limited thinking and transformed my whole reality…. I live in a world of anything is possible, not as a catch phrase but physically – anything REALLY is possible…

And yet sometimes, I will be so ‘busy’ in the mixture of getting ready, making my breakfast and tea, rushing around to leave the house by 7:30am, brush my hair, teeth, and do my makeup that I forget who I really Am….. ALL THE WHILE… not once, saying Hello to my Self. Not once acknowledging the force I am, the creator of thousands of thousands of millions of infinite worlds… ahhh, there we are.. Hello Soul.  Radiant. Magnificent. Vast…

And then I come to one solid truth for me: If looking in the mirror does not make you weep you have not really seen Yourself.  

Try it 🙂
