Description

Rumi wrote, "When we see ourselves, we will be the ideal of ourselves." This is about seeing ourselves in the true way that we are.

The Hindu Vedanta gives five reasons for our suffering:

  1. Not knowing the true nature of reality
  2. Clinging to the insubstantial
  3. Aversion to fear
  4. The identification with the false self, the ego
  5. Fear of death

But what we stand for is "That"---the indescribable nature of who we are.

The pertinent question is, "Do we make ourselves available to our true nature?"
