Good morning friends
As I was reminiscing about Rumi’s quote on ‘seeking’, I remembered another quote by Rumi himself. He says,“We seek outside the wonders that we carry inside us “
And I think every saint and guru ( guru in the true sense, not the so-called gurus advertising themselves! ) has said the same, just that the words are different.
Osho has always talked about this inner treasure that we are unaware of. In the hustle bustle of modern life, man has drifted away from this treasure, but luckily meditation can give us a glimpse of it.
Those who have never practised meditation can experience it in quiet moments, in the company of nature, while gazing at the countless stars in the sky from a mountain top, in the innocent smile of a small baby. We can also get a taste of the divine within us when we see someone helping others without any expectations or in the presence of unconditional love. Whenever thoughts stop, even momentarily, we can experience this fragrance. So, as Osho says, if you do any work with totality, you can get a glimpse of this wonder that we carry inside us, and especially with arts like drawing or painting or music or dance. The divine is always available to us; the question is whether we are available to the divine !
Hoping that we can find these wonders within ourselves, at least get a glimpse so that we are encouraged to seek them out,
Love,
Anjali
