Spiritual Politics...

Dear Friends
If the definition of Politics is:
The art or science of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/politics)
Then a spiritual aspirant at the minimum is a political architect and wields influence through his or her words, deeds, even emotions...For they are on a path leading to individual and collective freedom...
So we should all heed the call of Rumi:
Come, Come, Who ever you are
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come...

Faisal

Ps I am reminded of a top Rishi who stated that Freedom is in Discipline..
