Page 79 - Soul's Divine Journey

chApter Seven

You Alone Are the object of Your SeArch

Soul’s divine journey is saturated in ecstatic bliss, di-
vine wonderment, and unprecedented revelations of truth,
wisdom, and the realization of our indelible connection
to God the oversoul. this journey of soul is unparalleled,
incomparable, and is considered by the Saints to be the ulti-
mate pilgrimage ever known to humankind. It is the divine
heritage, the inalienable right, of everyone to tread this
sacred inner path, and irrespective of external conditions or
circumstances, no one is ever excluded.
to afford yourself the glory of these divine promises
requires nothing but a heart full of sincerity and a palpable
yearning to discover first your own essence, and then the
essence of your Source. no other requirements are needed,
for the spiritual desire to return home is always sufficient
in the eyes of both the Saints and of God. It is only our own
emotions and mind that have erected the barrier between
soul and God, for there is no amount of romantic reverie or
mental powers of reason and logic that could ever bridge
the infinite abyss between soul and its creator. to transcend
the vicissitudes of mind and emotions, to banish the karmic
burdens that enslave us all, and to restore the self-luminous
vision of soul’s innate nature are the goals and aspirations
of all spiritual seekers. but to shoulder the burden alone, to
rely on the strength of your own intellectual acuity and ana-
lytical mind, is similar to attempting to lift yourself by your
own shoe laces. clearly, it is a self-defeating proposition.
