Choose Zero and Be Free

My first spiritual teacher Sheik Nazim, a Sufi had a mantra that I could never understand

“I am nothing, I have nothing”

Ask what this means.

If anything belongs to you it will stay with you. If you ask

‘To whom does this belong?’ See who answers.

Is it you the one who is and has nothing? Or is it the ‘you’ who is more than nothing who has chosen to own it?

Which is the real you?

Once you choose to really be the one who is a true zero you will know the answer and then the other ‘you’ can merge with zero and cease to exist.

Then you are one with The Divine Source, the limitless One
