Your Secret Room

 “Become like melting snow; wash yourself of yourself. With love, your inner voice will find a tongue growing like a silent white lotus in the heart.” Jalal-ud-din Rumi

Do you know,
in this house that you have lived in all the days of your life,
there is a secret room, one that you visit only in your deepest dreams?
When you trace your self to its source, you will find it here.

This is the heart-cave the sages speak of, the home of the Indweller.
This is the lotus that holds the jewel, the oyster bearing that pearl beyond all price.
This is the sanctum sanctorum that holds your true identity, your very life-force, your immortal spirit.
This is the dwelling of the eye of eyes that sees no other, the cave of the eternal fire in which no ignorance or illusion can survive.

The key to this inner chamber is your focus and attention.
Learn to turn inwards and visit this room as often as you can.

With practice, you can stay anchored there always.

Once Grace reveals that fire of Brahman in the Heart, perform the greatest of all yajnas: gladly offer yourself as an oblation to that sacred flame.

Remember! sadhana is not complete until the sadhaka disappears.

“You squeeze me with your hand and then you step on me with your foot. This is how the grape becomes wine. You cast us like sunlight on this earth and our light, passing through the body as it were an open window to our Source, returns, purified, to You.“ Jalal-ud-din Rumi
