My inspiration is closer then my life-vein
March 26, 2012, Monday, Day 26 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is What inspires you to write?


My inspiration is my Best-Beloved. My inspiration is the sacred scriptures. My inspiration arrives each morning when I chant God’s Most Great Name 95 time. My inspiration is the test and difficulties I encounter each day. My inspiration is the blessing of another day on Earth. All of these are gifts of my Best-Beloved who is closer then my life-vein.

“Meditate on what the poet hath written: ‘Wonder not, if my Best-Beloved be closer to me than mine own self; wonder at this, that I, despite such nearness, should still be so far from Him.’... Considering what God hath revealed, that "We are closer to man than his life-vein," the poet hath, in allusion to this verse, stated that, though the revelation of my Best-Beloved hath so permeated my being that He is closer to me than my life-vein, yet, notwithstanding my certitude of its reality and my recognition of my station, I am still so far removed from Him...”
(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, pp. 184-185)


When I forget my inspiration in the daily struggle to survive then I cannot write. At these moments, I sit and stare at a blank document wondering what to write and how to fill the page. The mundane struggles of daily living sometimes come between my inspiration and me. Then I have to find a quiet place and chant God Most Great Name 95 times using my green prayer beads to count.

Whenever I have difficulty writing I know that, I have moved away from my inspiration, from my Best-Beloved. Then I have to reassess my life and actions. Then I have to changes something or do something that will bring me closes.
