From Royal L. Craig in the book Whispers Beyond the Edge: Glimpses of the Beloved
Again and again, the mystic turns to the meaning of life. We would probably understand it better if we could get out of own way. A great Teacher once said, “You are blocking your own way, standing in the doorway you are trying to go through.” The mystics say “Let go and let God.”
The Pilgrim
The ancient pilgrim, world encrusted,
wearying of sojourn and desperate
for release, turns to visions of the Father
fashioned in the mind while the
true form resides in his heart
like a stranger in the night
full of light and beauty
waiting for discovery.
If only the wedge of the world
were moved, the door would open
and the wayfarer would discover
the journey, by fulfilling which,
he would rise closer to his true nature
and discover that he is simply
a miniature of the Beloved
being drawn irresistibly Home!
