All that is, He contains within Himself like thoughts: the world, Himself, the All. Therefore, unless you make yourself equal to God, you cannot understand God; for like is not intelligible save to the like. Make yourself grow to a greatness beyond measure; by a leap [of intellect], free yourself from the body; raise yourself above all time, become Eternity; then you will understand God.

Believe that nothing is impossible for you; think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, the dry and the moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the sky; that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death. If you embrace in your thought all things at once-all times, places, substances, qualities, quantities-you may understand God

Experience shows that the spirit is nothing but awareness. Whoever has greater awareness has greater spirit… When the spirit becomes greater and passes beyond all bounds, the spirits of all things become obedient to it.

So to experience your reality as the creator of it, realize that where you are is the center of all that is occurring. This is what it means to be centered. When you think someone, something or somewhere else is the center of what's going on, you are giving your power away to the external world. Move through your world with the consciousness that you are the center of the universe and you will find that you don't really have to shift much as things and people around you shift themselves instead.





Awakening as One

Araqi 1

This world is nothing but a dance of shadows,
A line drawn between darkness and light, joy and oppression, time and eternity.
Learn to read this subtle line for it tells all the secrets of creation.

Let go of everything,
Completely lose yourself on this path,
Then you will have no doubts.
With absolute conviction you'll cry out-
I am God!
I am the one I have found!

In the light I praised you and never knew it.
In the dark I stayed with you and never knew it.
I always thought that I was me,
But no-I was you and never knew it.
Terjemahan
Dunia ini tidak lain hanyalah tarian bayang-bayang,
Sebuah garisan dilukis di antara gelap dan terang, sukacita dan penindasan, masa dan kekalan.
Belajar membaca perbezaan halus ini kerana ia menceritakan semua rahsia ciptaan.

Lepaskan segala sesuatu,
Benar-benar lepaskan diri sendiri di jalan ini,
Maka anda tidak akan mempunyai lagi sebarang keraguan.
Dengan keyakinan mutlak anda akan berteriak-
Akulah Tuhan!
Akulah yang aku telah temui!

Dalam terang aku memuji mu dan aku tidak pernah tahu itu.
Dalam gelap aku menetap dengan mu dan tidak pernah tahu itu.
Aku selalu memikirkan bahawa aku adalah aku,
Tapi tidak-aku adalah kamu dan tidak pernah tahu itu

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

His Light rose,
I found it in my own heart-
It is now my Light you see shining!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love courses through everything,
No, Love is everything.
How can you say there is no love when nothing but Love exists?
All that you see has appeared because of Love.
All shines from Love,
All pulses with Love,
All flows from Love
No, once again, all is Love!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I look into the mirror and see my own beauty;
I see the Truth of the universe revealing itself as me.
I rise in the sky as the morning Sun. Do not be surprised
Every particle of creation is my own form.

What are the holy spirits?
- My essence revealed.
And the human body?
-The vessel of my own form.
What is the ocean that encircles the world?
A drop of my abundant Grace; And the purest light that fills every soul?
A spark of my own illumination.

What is the water that grants eternal life?
A drop of my divine nectar.
And the breath that brings the dead back to life?
A puff of my breath, the breath of all life.

I am Light itself, reflected in the heart of everyone.
I am the treasure of the Divine Name, the shining Essence of all things.

From the highest heavens to the bedrock of the earth
All is but a shadow of my splendor.

If I dropped the veil covering my true essence
The world would be lost in a flash of brilliant light.
