Now’s the time for the world to know that each thought and motion is sacred. ~ Hafiz
The magical traditions of nonduality — together with yoga and Buddhism — assert that there isn’t a separation between creation and God. All is One. Some equate this mystical mindset with escapism, assuming that the non secular seeker goals to “disappear” into the transcendent and depart the unusual world behind. Quite the opposite: the traditional, nondualistic traditions demand that we develop a way of readability about our dharma, or responsibility, in every second. One of many seeker’s duties is to help the divine values of affection and compassion on the planet.
What we do in our on a regular basis life feeds and informs our non secular path; a part of the seeker’s journey is to start to see all duties as non secular duties, all moments as non secular moments. Because the poet saint Hafiz declares, “Now’s the time to know that each one that you just do is sacred.” We will embrace “unusual” moments — whether or not cooking, procuring, or resting — as alternatives to mindfully help God’s loving presence on the planet.
We will see the assembly of our worldly and non secular duties within the act of collaborating in democracies. We’ve got a chance to meet a dharmic responsibility throughout the U.S. midterm elections by supporting leaders and insurance policies that uplift, display considerate compassion, and defend the weak. A non secular seeker should actively work towards loving-kindness for all, and demand change to techniques that display greed and self-interest. Supporting ourselves and our wider communities with enthusiasm displays God’s loving embrace of all.
Now’s the time to know
That every one that you just do is sacred.
Now, why not think about
A long-lasting truce with your self and God.
Now’s the time to grasp
That every one your concepts of proper and mistaken
Had been only a kid’s coaching wheels
To be laid apart
If you lastly dwell
With veracity
And love.
Hafiz is a divine envoy
Whom the Beloved
Has written a holy message upon.
My expensive, please inform me,
Why do you continue to
Throw sticks at your coronary heart
And God?
What’s it in that candy voice inside
That incites you to worry?
Now’s the time for the world to know
That each thought and motion is sacred.
That is the time
So that you can compute the impossibility
That there’s something
However Grace.
Now’s the season to know
That the whole lot you do
Is sacred.
Hafiz, The Present
