Moving into Spaciousness

A way of looking at spirituality and the nafs is to imagine you were locked in a room with someone who never stops talking. This person is you, or rather your nafs. Its chatter is based on fear or desire. We need to find a way out of this room, to enter the rest of the mansion and beyond.

There is a whole state of being that is not tied to this talking. The work of spiritual transformation begins by developing the ability to leave the room, to ‘move into spaciousness’, outside of our self-concepts and expectations, and listen to a different music, the silence in which words arise, in which the meanings of Revelation can be heard, and in which we experience a relationship with the Divine.

Destiny loves effort; if we are destined for something the effort will be there.
