It's a Beautiful Day!

I arise facing East,
I am asking toward the Light,

I am asking that my day
Shall be beautiful with light,

I am asking that the place
Where my feet are shall be light,

That as far as I can see,
I shall follow it aright.

I am asking for the courage
To go forward through the shadow,

I am asking toward the light!



Mary Austin


Seek and ye shall find
Ask and it shall be given.

Toward the One
United with All!

Subhuti said: "If I understand correctly, one who wishes to reach perfect wisdom should study the way things are in the world and should practice the perfections fully and in depth but should not believe them to be ultimately real, nor should he make concepts and doctrines out of them."

The Buddha replied: "Just so, Subhuti. The one who contemplates existence in this way knows the nature of the conditioned and of the unconditioned and makes himself an expert in pointing out the truth to others, both with words and without words."

Subhuti asked: "But is this just for the wise and the intelligent?"

"No, indeed," replied the Buddha. "This is open to all, even to the dull witted and to those who can't pay attention. The door is open to anyone who wants to tread this path--but not to the person who is lazy and indifferent."

-Prajnaparamita


I LOVE this! Clear Vision can be had be even simple minded souls like me :)*grins*

Now if I can just avert my laziness.

Patience

I am patient, kind, and loving.
A tiny seed must be nurtured and given time to develop into its full potential. I, too, develop in my own time, producing the fruits of Spirit I am meant to produce.
I remember to be patient with myself, allowing time for my God-given talents to be revealed. Words from a familiar prayer help me remain calm and assured:
Prayer of Faith
I now am wise, I now am true, Patient, kind, and loving too.All things I am, can do, and be, Through Christ, the Truth that is in me.
Saying this prayer reminds me that the loving presence of God within gives me the wisdom and strength to meet any situation.
"But as for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance."--Luke 8:15



I don't often manifest the Divine attribute of Patience, but I believe that as a Daughter of God, it is alive and well inside of me.

Affirming myself as a Daughter of God and Heir to Their Divinity is the first step in manifesting All that I wish to become.

What a blessing!

"The sun neither rises or sets; it is our conception. When the earth turns its back to the sun, it is night; when the earth turns its face to the sun, it is day."
--Hazrat Inayat Khan

I have heard it said that when we feel that God has left us, we should examine who it is, indeed who has moved...

In actual fact, even so, we cannot move away from God because we are ever enveloped in Divine Light. We may only shut our eyes to the light for a time.

Alhamdulillah!

"Can you allow the Love of God to be your entire Reality?
It would be easier than the effort it takes to uphold the reality you now experience."
--The Voice for Love

La illaha illa 'lahu!

In the Sufi translation:

*There is no reality but the One Reality.*

There is only one thing to say:

Namaste'
*I behold the Beauty of God in You as I behold the Beauty of God in Me."

Namaste', Namaste!

All Love for Love,

Always!!!

Hakima

ALLAH!
