Illumination: The Purpose of Life

Friends,
The false self is real, just as a shadow is real. In each case, when light hits it, it vanishes. Let's gather to explore the illusory reality of what we Sufis call "the false self", and the power of light to clarify and purify. Illumination arrives with the purification of the false self. Inayati Sufism is a training that leads to Realization

🙏 We are each a hidden treasure, longing to be known. Our longing is to become who we really are, to release the divine qualities latent within, qualities that are muffled, obscured, forgotten. Our divine nature within must awaken to itself.
We are each entirely unique, with our own unique path. A teacher can accompany us, and offer a method for finding the Truth. This is the training of attention. Across the threshold of discovery, however, one must go alone.
”The principle thing in attaining happiness, is to purify one's mind from all things that disturb it and create inharmony."
Hazrat Inayat Khan.

Happiness is our natural condition. Natural; not normal. Happiness is normally obscured. Habitual, conditioned, and unconscious thinking cloud the mind and darken the heart. The remedy is the purification of our thinking and feeling. To turn within and explore this is where the path begins...and ends. Purification/Illumination.
