Hello everyone

This is my first blog post and I am so excited to start this new adventure with a concept that i have always been attracted to since my teenage years which is being a Master. 

I remember how frequently i watched the movie “Karate Kid” and how much i envied “Danielson” for having the opportunity to be trained by “Mr Miyagi”, the master of karate and the wise one in the movie.

Another figure of Mastery that influenced my way of thinking is Gandhi especially in his “leading by example” philosophy and exercising control over the body and mind through fasting for example and in defying emotional tendencies of fear and violence against enemies regardless how cruel and unjust those could be.

On the other hand, I am always amazed by Rumi’s wonderful poems and his mastery of words that mystically transcend into a state of being and transport us to another realm of existence where poetry awakens in us the sacred recognition that through practice and adoration of the Beloved, we can be initiated into what the universe truly is – an unending magnificent epiphany.

 

Your love lifts my soul from the body to the sky
And you lift me up out of the two worlds.
I want your sun to reach my raindrops,
So your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.

 Jalal-ud-Din Rumi                                                                                                                         

 

At this stage of my life, i came to realise that we are all seeking, in a way or in another this “mastery” or attainment of a “perfect self” through different ways and paths be it in business, art, music, body work, science, health, devotion or spirituality. Whether we reach it or not is never really the main concern of a life course but how much heart we put into our journey is what really matters because Love is the first and last ingredient that counts most when it comes to producing a fully completed masterpiece.
