Our roots connect us to nature’s devotional heart and soul. Nature sustains and nurtures all life on earth from the inside out. When you feel rooted, you are connected and She can sustain and nurture your inner and outer environment through your personal roots and heart.
Rooted, you are a dwelling place (Bleibe) for your many “selves” and other hearts and souls to enter the flow of receiving and giving.
You are invited to answer Rumi’s call and “Come To The Root of The Root Of Your Self.”
The Root of the Root of Your Self
Don’t go away, come near
Don’t be faithless, be faithful.
Find the antidote in the venom.
Come to the root of the root of
your self.
Molded of clay, yet kneaded
from the substance of certainty,
a guard at the Treasury of Holy Light—
come, return to the root of the root of
your self.
Once you get hold of selflessness,
you’ll be dragged from your ego
and freed from many traps.
Come, return to the root of the root of
your self.
You are born from the children of
God’s creation,
but you have fixed your sight too low.
How can you be happy?
Come, return to the root of the root of
your self. …
You were born from a ray of God’s
majesty
and have the blessings of a good star.
Why suffer at the hands of things that
don’t exist?
Come, return to the root of the root of
your self.
You are a ruby embedded in granite.
How long will you pretend it isn’t true?
We can see it in your eyes.
Come to the root of the root of
your self. …
Rumi, translated by Kabir Hilminski
Our root is invisible and indivisible Soul-presence.
“The beginning of the universe is the mother of all things.” —Lao Tzu
