A Wordless Prayer
Wednesday 09 October 2024
A woman expresses her confusion about the nature of being and whether qualities such as peace, joy and love can be attributed to it. Rupert clarifies that these qualities are only spoken of in contrast to our usual state of mind, which is characterised by agitation, sorrow, and conflict. He explains that being itself has no experience of these contrasts, so it wouldn’t describe itself as peace, joy or love. The only true statement being can make about itself, if it could speak, is ‘I am’, which is the highest and ultimate truth.
