Excerpts from "Dark Night of the Soul" by Mirabai Star |
|
To my sisters and brothers who are longing for Home and are in a place of what seems like unending darkness and despair; I pray that this book finds you as it found me. These are just a few excerpts from this book, simply the most potent passages that brought solace to my weary soul. Reading this transmission further fueled the most passionate longing that a human can have, that which Mirabai calls Love's longing, the longing to be merged back with our original Self (God/Spirit/Source).
Thank you Mirabai Star for surviving your own journey that allowed you to write to the depth that you did in this translation which is more accessible to the modern day seeker than St. John of the Cross's original writing. Deep gratitude to my beloved masters and guides for pointing the way and teaching about true Love. Jesus, Ramana, Paramahansa Ramakrishna, Anandamayi Ma, Papaji, Mooji, Adyashanti, Devaji & Faith, Clare Purna Ma, Arjuna for my sister Sanjali, I love you 💕 This book can be purchased on amazon here. https://amzn.to/340avvj "Although this night darkens the spirit, it illumines and fills her with light. Even though this holy night darkens the spirit, it does so only to light up everything. Even though it humbles her and makes her miserable. it is only to raise her up and exalt her. Even though it impoverishes her, emptying her of natural inclinations, it is only so that she will reach out for the divine and freely enjoy the fruits of all things of above and below." ~Mirabai Star |
