Love as Our Foundation
In the pursuit of a profound and meaningful existence, many find solace either in contemplation or action, often for misguided reasons. Introverts may seek contemplation as a retreat to quietude, while those with the luxury of free time might indulge in self-absorbed introspection. On the flip side, some activists view their call to action merely as an affirmation of personal agendas. Yet, the delicate balance we aspire to is neither in the quiet retreat nor the fervent activism but in the artful harmony we seek to establish.
Contemplation is the intentional quest for connection with the divine, achieved by detaching from the transient self, breaking free from emotional tyranny, liberating ourselves from the addiction to self-image, and rejecting the false promises of the world. On the other hand, action is a resolute commitment to active participation in shaping the social order. Resolving issues demands more than reflection, discussion, prayer, protests, boycotts, or voting the ‘right’ way. It requires a collaborative effort where God synergizes with all those who love.
Our reliance on Love as our foundation shapes us. In times of anxiety, trouble, joy, or solace, Love remains unwavering, never failing to aid our growth, questioning, and forgiveness—for ourselves and others. The key to transcending any dualism, be it between action and contemplation, lies in universal forgiveness of Reality. This forgiveness acts as the binding grace, healing separations that law, religion, or logic cannot fully mend.
As fellow journeyers in need of liberation, we embrace a profound solidarity, an act often overlooked. God's intention isn't to shame individuals but to foster solidarity and universal responsibility—a radical commitment that empowers and creates wholesome communities.
