EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF HAAAQA, WAQIAH, LIKE JAMIL The Importance of Sufism The Power of Forgiveness There is a reality to life beyond the rational Finding and Exercising Our True Power Certainty is the Sufi Antidote to Fear Gratitude in advance (Self)-Forgiveness is the cure for all illness The Art of Thoughtful, Creative Prayer Hypocrisy The point I'm going to make today is this. Consciously witnessing the truth is the goal of guidance, correction of faith and healing. Why is this so? Because consciously witnessing the truth is the highest form of good for humanity. Consciously witnessing the truth even briefly or for any extended period of time is health bringing, mind rejuvenating and enheartening. Adi Da Samraj, some of you might remember him as Baba Free John, once said, and I have to quote him because the statement is so to the point - he said, Good health and longevity
are secondary effects
So - consciously witnessing the truth is both the cause and
the outcome of 'devotional surrender to participation in the Divine
Reality.'of the fundamental responsibility of a human life, which is, devotional surrender to participation in the Divine Reality. Communion with God is naturally regenerative. Now conscious witnessing is an exercise and a practice. But it is the healthiest rejuvenating and reinvigorating thing we can do. Far better to exercise the mind in a correct way than to exercise the body (not that that is bad by any means but without the proper mind orientation it can be harmful, as we all have experienced.) The exercise is of our God consciousness. Now we all have one but like any other faculty, it responds like a muscle - it gets stronger with use and disappears when not used. Let me talk for a minute about the God Consciousness ------------ Now lets discuss the practice of self realization. Finding and exercising your true power for the benefit of yourself and humanity is the height of selfless service and the pinnacle of being a divine servant. Satisfied people do not commit crimes. There is no more fulfilling satisfaction than spiritual satisfaction and a worshipful life provides spiritual satisfaction faster than anything. This is done by discovering and acting in concert with the Divine will, and with that, how can it fail? TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION Certainty Unity - The Reality of God. - Why Tawheed is the renowned central theme of Islam What's the point?
