The Longing Of The Soul To Go Back To God
Listen to the story told by the reed,
of being separated.
“Since I was cut from tht reed bed,
I have made this crying sound.
Anyone apart from someone he loves
understands what I say.
Anyone pulled from a source
longs to go back….
The reed flute
is fure, not wind. Be that empty.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi
rendered by Coleman Barks
Whenever you lift a weight from a needle,
the needle will automatically be drawn to the magnet.
Whether there are one thousands needle or there is one needle,
they all have the same tendendy to go to the magnet…
Every soul definitely feels the same longing
at the level of consciousness.
Maharaj Charan Singh, Die To Live
Longing will eliminate ego and will make you merge into the Being.
You will lose your identity and become one with the Father by longing.
But this longing, this intense longing,
doesn’t come without Shabd.
Maharaj Charan SIngh, Die to Live
