We find ourselves in possession of something we deeply cherish, yet this often leads to a slow drain of our energy. We come to understand that significant progress or improvement in our relationship with this object is unlikely. However, it is possible to foster a reduced attachment to it through immersive experiences rather than relying solely on our preconceived ideas. As we immerse ourselves in these experiences, we begin to notice that the importance of the medium itself diminishes, overshadowed by the pure joy we derive from our engagement. This phenomenon can be likened to the way we elevate the divine in our lives. Our daily routines, however, often hinder our ability to fully appreciate this idea. God is the embodiment of spirit, and we are called to worship Him in spirit and in eternal truth. While we may engage with the spirit through familiar rituals and forms, genuine comprehension arises only when we actively worship and align ourselves with His essence. This understanding transcends mere physical locations or transient moments; it encompasses a collective grasp of purpose and a deep sense of authentic love and trust. Such spiritual insight is challenging to articulate, especially when pursued through disciplined mental training. Our journey toward intimacy with God does not adhere to a straightforward rationale, nor do we hold onto material hopes for a deeper understanding. We must not view intelligent human beings merely as instruments in this quest. In a representative manner, we observe the divine harmony of the soul as it finds effective direction. This observation highlights the essential role of vertical affection among us. The true essence of this spiritual understanding becomes clearer when we learn to channel the unity of our souls into a governing attitude characterized by genuine affection. This becomes our primary source of motivation as a collective. However, our moral imperatives often hinder us. We struggle to greet one another warmly, especially at the critical juncture where we collectively agree on the value of a sharp intellect. This interaction can sometimes be hypocritical, as it represents an effort to achieve the religious harmony we believe is fitting, using metrics of discomfort and pain to gauge each other’s intentions. I am referring to what I call “navel theology,” a self-referential approach that often obscures the deeper spiritual truths we seek to understand.
