There are many people who fast, whose fast is nothing but hunger and thirst. There are those whose prayer is no better than wakefulness and hardship. The eating and drinking in case of the former and sleeping in the latter’s case is a far better option.
That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
My Place is the placeless, my trace is the traceless; ‘I’ is neither body nor soul, for ‘I’ belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one; One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
