I had the desire to write this comment in response to Ashiya's blog post - I've read it before on her private one. I think I want attention again - lol. I hope she approves of my comment :P

The most difficult thing to understand is that life is really simple.
We have a tendency of making things a lot more complicated.
The ego-mind, the personality, tells us that simple things are somehow devalued.
The intellect wants to make things juicy.
To make someone or something less than or more than. Instead of appreciating that all things are from the same Source, if perceptively different.
For example, we prefer the use of complicated words and phrases (okay, I do! :P) to make what we are saying or what we are listening to seem more profound. More valid, more legitimate, more true.
Everything is as it is. C'est tout.
I can't wait for the day I have raised my consciousness of the truth to the level that I'll be able to eat an apple and drink only water and that will be a divine feast for me.
For the day when I'll get back to sleeping on a bare floor and have the best rest I've had.
For the day when people will just be in my presence and no words will need be said to communicate our truths and that we can just see the other person's true essence shine bright.
For the day when I realise that I, and every single sentient being on this earth, is always connected to Allah and as such, cannot help but be Divine; spiritual beings having a human experience.
Affirmation: I am who I am, I am where I am, with what I have. I release all that within and without that is not truly my true essence. I am ready to embrace the truth of Who I Truly Am.
"O my Allah, the honour of being Your servant is sufficient.
I am proud of the fact that You are my Lord.
You are just as I want, so make me just as You like me to be."
~ Imam Ali (a.s.)
Allah, Divinity, and our True Spirit, is clear, crystal, pure.
Simple.

I just checked my library account - as usual, didn't keep on top of things, now have more library fines. Well, that's done. I am now going to the library to return all the books.
Except the It's Just a Date one. Just in case I still need it.
