In the depths of every soul, there is a burning fire, a divine spark that yearns for nothing less than complete union with the Beloved. This fire of aspiration is not a gentle warmth but an all-consuming blaze that seeks to purify the soul of all its attachments, desires, and imperfections. Keep this secret vibrant fire as the most precious treasure of the soul.
The fire of aspiration is God’s desire (iccha) within us, calling us back to Himself. This fire is a gift of grace. Once kindled, it cannot really be extinguished since it is fueled by the longing for the perfect, boundless love of Love.
Ultimately, our duty is not to ignite this flame—for it is already burning—but to take great care of it, to remove, with the fire of tapas, all obstacles that may suffocate it.
When we surrender, letting the fire of Divine Love consume us in its holy radiance, there is freedom, since the veils of the ego burn and reveal the eternal Truth of who we are.
Diving into Hridaya, we have fanned its flames.
Now, let’s reverently carry this divine inner fire into the world, not as an imposing force that consumes but as a light that guides. Let it be a beacon for those seeking the path back to the Heart, the essence of their being. And in each soul it touches, may it awaken that longing we know, that calling to return to the Source, where all energies merge into the single, eternal flame of Love and Truth.
As teachers, guardians of this sacred flame, our role is not only to impart knowledge but to share the warmth and light of this divine fire. In our presence and teachings, let there be the gentleness of a flame that caresses but does not harm. Let the light of wisdom illuminate the path for those still lost.
May this fire grow and glow, not remain a mere flash, but a blaze that dances with the winds of Self-awareness—Divine Grace. It is the same fire that stirs the stars and kindles the passion of lovers. In its warmth, we find courage; in its light, wisdom.
May it light our way and inspire those around us to discover the profound peace and joy of living with an open heart.
May we always be blessed with trust in this inner fire. May our soul be ever open, ever burning brightly with the fire of spiritual aspiration.
With Love,
Sahaja
