Essence of the One
“If God said,
‘Rumi, pay homage to everything that
has helped you to Enter my Arms,’
There would not be one experience of my life,
not one thought, not one feeling, not any act,
I would not bow to.”
-Jalal al-Din Rumi
…
Regret, that sinking feeling in the bottom of your stomach.
We’ve all been there, wishing we could have another chance.
But, it is in this very feeling in which our return to the One happens.
The Divine Essence is always seeking our return to Him,
waiting for us to seek reconciliation with Him and wash away the mistake.
And we give ourselves plenty of opportunity for returning.
Darkness wants you to keep mistakes hidden but once you bring
the Light in, the experience fades and leaves the lesson.
Turn back to the Essence of the One
and rejoice that the mistake opened
the door for reconnection.
