Welcome to Part 5 of our transformative series "Awakening Beyond Ego." In this profound journey, we explore the art of transcending the ego. We delve into practices that liberate us from the ego's grip, guiding us back to our authentic selves. Specifically, we'll explore: * Observing Our Thoughts: By practicing mindfulness, we learn to observe our thoughts without attachment or judgment. We become like a wise river, flowing peacefully around obstacles instead of getting drowned in them. * Embracing Nothingness: We also explore the concept of 'I Am'—a state beyond roles and identities. Becoming nothing is not about emptiness but a return to our true essence. The ego dislikes 'nothingness' because it signifies freedom from its grip. * Connecting with Our True Self: And finally, we will connect with our true self. Our true self is like a guiding light amidst the ego's darkness. By following its wisdom, we find our path to transcendence. The present moment, the only reality, is where our true power resides. Each practice, whether observing thoughts, embracing nothingness, or connecting with our true self, serves as a stepping stone toward the ultimate goal: transcending the ego and embracing our pure consciousness.

His every quality finds an expression: Eternity becomes the verdant field of Time and Space; Love, the life-giving garden of this world. Every branch and leaf and fruit Reveals an aspect of His perfection. The cypress gives hint of His majesty, The rose gives tidings of His beauty. Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there; Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek Love lights Her fire from that flame. When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night Love comes and finds a heart entangled in tresses. Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond. They have together since the beginning of time- Side by side, step by step. I swear, since seeing Your face, the whole world is fraud and fantasy The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf or blossom. The distracted birds can’t distinguish the birdseed from the snare. A house of love with no limits, a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon, a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart. ~ Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi --- Rumi, born Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian who is widely regarded as one of the greatest spiritual poets in history. He was born on September 30, 1207, in Balkh, in present-day Afghanistan, and later settled in Konya, in present-day Turkey, where he spent most of his life. Rumi's early years were marked by his father's influence, who was a prominent Islamic preacher and theologian. Rumi grew up immersed in the teachings of Islam and became well-versed in various branches of Islamic knowledge, including jurisprudence, theology, and Sufism. However, his life took a transformative turn when he met the wandering dervish Shams Tabriz, who became his spiritual mentor and kindled in him a deep longing for divine union. Rumi's spiritual journey with Shams Tabriz inspired him to write poetry as a means to express his profound mystical experiences and deep yearning for God. His poetry, written in Persian, is renowned for its spiritual depth, eloquence, and universal appeal. Rumi's poetry is characterized by themes of love, divine longing, union with God, and the quest for inner illumination. His words have the power to transcend cultural, religious, and linguistic boundaries, resonating with people of different faiths and backgrounds across the world. Rumi's most famous work is his Masnawi, a collection of poetic stories, parables, and teachings that span over 25,000 verses. The Masnawi is considered a spiritual masterpiece and is often referred to as the "Quran in Persian." Rumi's poetry reflects his belief in the power of love as the ultimate path to God and emphasizes the importance of transcending superficial differences and connecting with the divine essence within oneself and others. Rumi's poetry has had a profound impact on millions of people around the world, transcending time and culture. His words continue to inspire seekers of truth and lovers of God to this day, reminding them of the eternal beauty of divine love and the transformative power of spirituality. Rumi's legacy as a spiritual poet and mystic continues to shine brightly, serving as a guiding light for those on the path of spiritual awakening and enlightenment.

I have lost myself in these dunes; building and building, but all in ruins. Ruin me, O Shaper of sand! That this heap may be shaped again into the trail of seekers. Let them tread on top my ruins, and in their love for You, become ruined. For this endless desert we call our dear life is only here to reveal what you concealed in the night.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. ~ Max Ehrmann --- Max Ehrmann (1872-1945) was an American writer, poet and attorney best known for his prose poem "Desiderata," which achieved widespread popularity and became an inspirational guide for many people around the world.

Throughout his life, he devoted his spare time to literature, crafting poems, essays, and short stories.

Penetrate to the depths of yourself, to the place where thought no longer exists, and take care that no thought arises there! There where nothing exists, Fullness! There where nothing is seen, the Vision of Being! There where nothing appears any longer, the sudden appearing of the Self! Dhyana is this! ~ Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri Le Saux) --- Swami Abhishiktananda, originally known as Henri Le Saux, was a French Benedictine monk and mystic who made significant contributions to interfaith dialogue and spiritual exploration. He was born on August 30, 1910, in Saint-Brieuc, France, and passed away on December 7, 1973. In the early years of his life, Henri Le Saux was deeply influenced by the Catholic tradition and became a Benedictine monk. However, his spiritual quest led him to a profound interest in Eastern religions, particularly Hinduism. In 1948, he traveled to India and eventually settled in the state of Tamil Nadu. During his time in India, Henri Le Saux adopted the name Swami Abhishiktananda, which means "the bliss of the anointed one." He embarked on a spiritual journey that involved deep immersion in Hindu practices and dialogue with spiritual masters. He sought to bridge the gap between Christianity and Hinduism, striving to find the common ground between the two traditions. Swami Abhishiktananda was deeply influenced by Advaita Vedanta, and his experiences led him to emphasize the importance of inner realization and the direct experience of the divine. He believed that the true essence of all religious paths pointed to the same ultimate reality. In addition to his spiritual explorations, Swami Abhishiktananda was also a poet. His poetry reflected his inner struggles, spiritual insights, and encounters with the divine. His poems expressed a deep longing for union with God and a yearning for the transcendence of dualistic concepts. Some of his notable poetic works include "The Secret of Arunachala" and "Poetry of a Hermit." Overall, Swami Abhishiktananda's life and writings continue to inspire individuals in their spiritual journeys. His exploration of poetry provided a means of expressing his deepest spiritual insights and inviting others to embark on their own paths of self-discovery and divine communion.

It's like the naked man who jumped into the water, so that he might escape from the hornets' stings: the hornets circled above him, and whenever he put out his head they would not spare him. The water is recollection of God, and the hornet is the thought, during this time, of such-and-such a woman or man. Hold your breath in the water of remembrance, so that you may be freed from old thoughts and temptations. After that, you will assume the nature of that pure water, entirely from head to foot. As the noxious hornet flees from the water, so...it will be afraid of approaching you. After that, be far from the water, if you wish; for in your innermost soul you are of the same nature as the water. Those persons then who have passed from the world are not nonexistent but are absorbed in the attributes of God, even as the star disappears in the presence of the sun. ~ Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi --- Rumi, born Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian who is widely regarded as one of the greatest spiritual poets in history. He was born on September 30, 1207, in Balkh, in present-day Afghanistan, and later settled in Konya, in present-day Turkey, where he spent most of his life.

Rumi grew up immersed in the teachings of Islam and became well-versed in various branches of Islamic knowledge, including jurisprudence, theology, and Sufism. However, his life took a transformative turn when he met the wandering dervish Shams Tabriz, who became his spiritual mentor and kindled in him a deep longing for divine union. Rumi's spiritual journey with Shams Tabriz inspired him to write poetry as a means to express his profound mystical experiences and deep yearning for God. His poetry, written in Persian, is renowned for its spiritual depth, eloquence, and universal appeal. Rumi's poetry is characterized by themes of love, divine longing, union with God, and the quest for inner illumination. His words have the power to transcend cultural, religious, and linguistic boundaries, resonating with people of different faiths and backgrounds across the world. Rumi's most famous work is his Masnawi, a collection of poetic stories, parables, and teachings that span over 25,000 verses. The Masnawi is considered a spiritual masterpiece and is often referred to as the "Quran in Persian." Rumi's poetry reflects his belief in the power of love as the ultimate path to God and emphasizes the importance of transcending superficial differences and connecting with the divine essence within oneself and others. Rumi's poetry has had a profound impact on millions of people around the world, transcending time and culture. His words continue to inspire seekers of truth and lovers of God to this day, reminding them of the eternal beauty of divine love and the transformative power of spirituality.

On this holy night stay with me Till the morning, do not depart. On a night so dark as this, My course, how can I chart? O breath of life, help me tonight That in the morn I make a start.

Nearness to God is neither up nor down: to be near God is to escape the prison of existence. What room has nonexistence for "up" or "down"? Nonexistence has no "soon" or "far" or "late." The laboratory and treasure house of God is in nonexistence. Since existence deludes you, how will you know what nonexistence is? ~ Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi --- Rumi, born Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian who is widely regarded as one of the greatest spiritual poets in history.
