Limitation Meditation

18 Nur 163 B.E. – June 22, 2006 A.D.

QUOTE: Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) said: “A man has got to know his limitations.”

For how else can he go beyond them,
if he doesn’t know them in the first place.

I’ve encountered many limitations in my life, or at least I thought they were limitations. Then circumstances forced me to go beyond them. What I found rather than being limitations they were steps carved into the mountain barriers between the future and me.

The problem with limitations is that I can’t go beyond them, if the focus is them. Therefore, what should a person focus on, certainly fear. If I focus on fear than I’ll not even attempt to go beyond the boxes that enclose me. What then should I focus on, the Beloved of course, the unlimited power of God.

QUOTE: “The afflictions which come to humanity sometimes tend to center the consciousness upon the limitations. This is a veritable prison. Release comes by making of the will a door through which the confirmations of the spirit come.” (Abdu'l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 22)
