A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem In the name of the One most compassionate,
Most merciful,
Most kind.
This is Mark Silver with Heart of Business.
Welcome to the Remembrance.
It is said in the Sufi teachings that the most important quality for us is sincerity.
And so let us deepen our sincerity.
And let's start with just noticing how we're feeling and what's true.
So much space.
So much space.
And then bringing your attention to your heart,
High up in your chest.
Letting your head bow,
Letting your heart bow.
Beginning to call to the divine through the open doorway of your heart.
Allah.
One of the ways that we define sincerity is desiring the truth no matter what.
And so allowing yourself and turning towards the divine to find in your own heart the truth about your desire,
Your motivation,
Your inspiration to connect with the divine.
What is true about your heart's relationship and yearning for the divine?
We have pictures about what it should be.
You probably have ideas about what you should feel.
But what's really true about your heart's yearning and relationship with the divine?
And what's true about your heart's yearning and relationship with the divine?
And you may have different feelings.
You may have parts of you or feelings of wanting and yearning for the divine and also resistance or fear or just wanting something else.
What if there was room,
What if there was space for all that you felt and all that you wanted around your relationship with the divine?
Hmm.
And then asking in your heart to have your yearning for the divine,
To have it ignited,
To have it draw you closer,
To have the sincerity of your heart and the yearning for the truth draw you closer and closer.
Hmm.
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
What happens when you ask for your heart to be ignited with the love from the sincerity,
From the yearning for the truth?
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
Sometimes the heart and the fire of it burns bright and strong and hot.
Sometimes it burns lower and steady and deeper.
If you keep remembering the divine,
If you keep calling to the oneness,
If you keep turning towards the source,
What happens for your heart?
What happens for your beingness?
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
Letting yourself fall more and more deeply into your heart.
More and more deeply into the fire of the One,
Into the love.
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
And what happens also if the heart of your business turns towards this oneness,
Towards this fire?
What happens for the heart of your business when it is drawn by sincerity,
By the yearning for truth and the yearning for love?
What happens?
What happens?
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
Um.
.
.
And noticing any authentic appreciation,
Gratitude from anything that you've received during this remembrance.
Letting yourself express that to the divine.
Taking a nice,
Gentle breath and turning your attention back.
