Purification

 

Beloved, bless your love with a kind word.

He has lost his soul, now his body is being consumed.

 

In the realm of love, both selves are wiped out.

The moth is consumed,

just as the flame itself is extinguished.

 

The destiny of mankind

was foreseen on the day of creation.

Alter the design, if you have the courage.

 

First cleanse yourself,

purify your heart, then counsel others,

O Huma, but first you must change

the form of your speech.

Very Nice Andrew,

 

"Beloved, bless your love with a kind word."

 

 

Is this a kind of thought:

 

Sometimes people think that speaking kindly

(something we probably all prefer) is the peferred way.

Is that kind of kindness in the service of Truth?

For example some Gurus and holy types

know how to encourage us into a mode

of expression that makes us meek and them

empowering (of us, of course, of course).

Devotees prefer this.

Is genuine spirituality a series of pithy words

couched in poetic notation or a sharing,

merging and transfer of possibilities

or [your words]?

How does wisdom councel itself?

As is said above through purification

and awareness of undelying worded motivations

and reminding and reinforcement of spiritual

conditioning?

Now I do not know why these words were posted

or what they might mean to others

but personal nutrition is something I do know about

and so the value for me is in the sentiment:

"Beloved, bless your love with a kind word."

Many thanks Andrew.
