How seek the way which leadeth to our wishes? By renouncing our wishes. The crown of excellence is renunciation. -- Hafiz Divan
My use of that quote came as: To extinguish our dreads, go toward them in welcome.
I have had a persistent dread for years. Without pre-planning, without a thought, on a short walk recently, that fear began transmuting...becoming welcome to me...and this was way before I read Divan with my response to it.
Looking back, I see that all the spiritual necessaries were silently flowing through me: Let it be...welcome...resist not, without thought.
Without thought...there's God, loving and laughing.
Plus and again: No spiritual or otherwise thought was conscious to me. I didn't even have my usual thank you flowing...I was without conscious thought, just a smiling heart. I remember it this morning and rejoice in the memory of God walking me.
My daily prayer, Be it done to me according to Thy will, has become Thank you that it is being done to me according to Thy will.
God loves us so much.
Thank you.
