Mercy, Letting Go, Sacred Songs

January 3, 2006

You must let go of your inhibitions that are preventing you from showing your true spiritual impulses. So often you hide these impulses in order to fit into the conception of what you think society demands as being respectable. Instead, allow your emotions to burst forth. You know that the most ecstatic moments in life are when you are engaged in singing and dancing sacred songs. Whether it is Vedic hymns, Native American Dances, Sufi dancing or whatever the type of expression, you have always felt complete joy in those moments. Sacred songs and expressions of dance have an energizing quality that actually transports you into a spiritual dimension. Why do you hold yourself back from expressing this incredible joy? Do not fear what others will say. You are actually showing mercy toward others when you immerse yourself completely in spiritual bliss. The energy created will influence all others and enable them to more fully express their own spirituality in whatever way they know. Holding back on your expression does nothing to help anyone. Engaging in spiritual song is giving thanks to God for the mercy that has been bestowed upon you. Accept that mercy with great joy and share that joy with others through your heartfelt expression of ecstasy while engaged in sacred song.
