The Dive of Wonders

Ever experienced a dive so deep that uncovered worlds of wonder- worlds that took your breath away, silenced all echos within you, and made your very existence feels small in the presence of its majesty?!

What if such magical dives were possible even for the inexperienced, dives that never leave you the same again?

The ocean of wonders is closer than we think- it is within you!

Imam Ali said, "You think of yourself as a tiny being when within you is enrolled the entire universe"

Imam Ali's words are not mere metaphor, but an affirmed reality. Within us lie worlds of greatness, depths of meaning, and unseen beauty. It is the world of our SOUL

Indeed, we see Thebetan monks breaking the norms all the time, reading minds, floating or even breaking the limits of time , yet they have only mastered their thoughts not their souls.

Our soul is the world of true existence, the world of meanings and realizations, the essence of our being.

We can experience peace but only our soul can BE at peace. We can taste freedom but endless freedom belongs to our soul. We can be generous but true richness flows form our soul. We may dream of being worry-free, yet deep within the soul lies the realm of everlasting relief.

These are the meanings we endlessly search for — chasing them in every deceptive corner of materialism.

The good news is there is hidden path to these worlds of wonder. It is not discovered by chance, but entered with intention.

Such boundless ecstasy is hidden beneath the depth of our ego, so it requires a deep dive. A determined penetration through pride, arrogance, intolerance, impatience, judgments, self-centerdness, attachment to status, and pursuit of control.

A dive whose resolve illuminates the darkness of all ego-centric trenches encountered in the way to liberation.

Such dive has been made very easy for beginners in Ramadan. Never before has the nafs been so weakened as it becomes in the month of mercy, forgiveness, compassion, giving, forgiving, reaching out and discipline.

Ramadan is not only about fasting from desires, it's the uncovering of one's ego and the desertation of its lies. A Divine blessing of nearness, presence and awe. A once in a lifetime chance of encountering one's soul.

But the wonders within are layered. They reveal themselves only to those willing to challenge their habits and patterns. The deeper the resolve, the clearer the light. The more sincere the dive, the greater the transformationn

The ocean is not far away.

It has always been within you.
