World-power means nothing.

Only the unsayable

jeweled inner life matters.

~ Jalal ad-din Rumi
-Translated by Coleman Barks.

Even In an Election Year?

If you live in the United States,
or if you’re watching the Presidential primaries from afar,
it might sound a little crazy to say
“World-power means nothing.”

But no matter how powerful
any of us believe we are,
there is a Supreme Power much greater,
a Master Orchestrator of divine perfection,
Who makes all that is in its states
and Who can change anything in an instant.

Worldly power is only an illusion,
just as weakness, or any way we may choose
to identify ourselves or others in this realm.

Self-identification is relative
to how we align with an illusionary world
based on a false sense
of separation.

We can choose to busy ourselves with
matters of the material world.
It serves as a great distraction
from what may bring up fear
or cause us pain.

Or we can turn to the Essence of the One,
declare faith and trust in The All-Powerful,
and leave the others to their performance.

The sooner we realize
What is the Real Power,
the more powerful we become.
