"How can I know you, and You are the inwardly hidden, not wishing to be known?
How can I not know You, and You are the outwardly manifest, wishing yourself to be known in everything"
What a wise Sufi saying that expresses so beautifully the universal truth!
God or the Universal Force is non-visible to us, It is the inwardly hidden, pure consciousness that has no shape nor form. How can we know It?
But the inwardly hidden is the same as the outwardly manifest, that can be seen and touched and felt everywhere. So how can we not know It?
What's fascinating is how this mystic poem written centuries ago echoes our modern-day spiritual and personal development teachings.
Our inner world creates our outer world, they are both the same. This is what the Secret book basically explains, this is what Sean Stephenson means when he says "Mentality creates Reality", this is what quantum physicists refer to as "thoughts become things".
Our inner world consists of what is invisible and intangible to us, such as our thougths, our believes, our feelings, our desires, our intentions...
Our outer world is what we label as our reality: our body, our job, our relationships, our environment, our finanical conditions, etc..
And off course you must know by now, to change our outer world, we need to change our inner world. But how to change this inner world that we can't see, nor touch, and that most people aren't even aware of?
How can we know what's in-there in this invisible formless inner-world??
Well, it's simple. Just look at your life!
Look at your job, look at your energy, look at your relationships, look at your financial situation, look at your health, look at your environment.. Find where is it that you prosper? Where is it that your struggle? Are you rich or poor? Victorious or defeated? Happy or grumpy?
You see, it's clear, it's already out there! Even without long hours of introspection and self-analysis and meditation, you can still guess what your inner world is from your outer reality!
Indeed, how can we not know it, and it is manifested everywhere, in us and all around us?
So please have a good look on your world, and cheer up! If you see what you don't like, that's ok, it's just a mirror. You are beautiful inside if only you remove some of the dusts and dirt that you picked up along the way. Get rid of these negative thoughts of lack and unworthiness and undeserving, remove these gilts and regrets from your hearts, clean these limiting believes that are holding you, and watch your real beauty manifest in a world shining with glory!
