Soaring with SOR!
Was there a way to back-pedal when reality began to cuddle me?
Once upon a time, I spread my wings and soared into the sacredness of rhythm and swayed like a flame in another love’s fireplace.
My human nature was overwhelmed by the sensitive hearts of a receptive audience, for they played different instruments, so to speak, that created a sensational rhythm: a relentless sense of Oneness.
To be united with different people of many different races is always an experience that could strengthen my faith.
How lovely it is to meet people who embrace different creeds and cultures; people who are blessed with amazing characters that could melt hearts and people who can look to one another as a source of wisdom and love.
We are all “players” of different instruments and “dancers” of different tunes. But the sacredness of our rhythms are one and the same:
The Almighty God has breathed His Spirit unto us and created us in His own Image.
The only tune that can shower us perfect harmony as we play with different instruments is nothing but His Perfect Rhythm. But often times we tend to ignore the sacredness or the beautiful “tunes” hidden in other “instruments”. We refuse to enjoy it as if we are the only ones who own a good piece and could play better.
As Chiara advises:
“Lose everything, even the attachment to holiness, so that you aim only at one thing: to love.”
Why do we cloud our heart’s eye if we need one another to perfect our tunes and better our states?
Why do we love to create barriers and divisions if we want to walk on a straight path?
Imagine if we can only “play” all the different “instruments” together, it would surely create an intricate but glorious harmony, like the melodious chants of the monks or the captivating voice of Bilal as he says the azan.
Since God created us all from a single soul and made us different nations and tribes in order to know and love one another, our refusal to discover spiritual wealth from one another or disbelieve in other faiths is akin to disbelieving in Him, for
“God is too vast and tremendous to be restricted to one belief rather than another,” says Ibn Arabi.
from fear to freedom 
How very true! God is infinite and his love for all is limitless. He is not tied down to a particular “instrument” and listens to all the beautiful tunes! 😊
