Being a pacifist
does not mean being a passive-ist

This wise Sufi is new to me, so apologies if he's not your cup of tea...nevertheless I do like his inclusion of us all (instead of the all too often message that most of us will be left behind) and reminders of Divine Love such as how we're created to contain so much more than we often see in Self/Each Other...and finally - what DOES NOT CHANGE...

The things that change are not our real life
by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

The things that change are not our real life.
Within us there is another body, another beauty.
It belongs to that ray of Light which never changes.
We must discover how to mingle with It and become one
with that Unchanging thing.

We must realize and understand this treasure of Truth.
That is why we have come to the world.
Within your heart in a space no bigger than an atom,
God has placed the 18,000 universes.

— from A Book of God’s Love, by M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
