There is a piece of me in you,  

it is like coming home.

Well, isn't that just it, my dear?  That is it!

When we regularly say, "namaste" to one another we eventually get a taste of that reality and all of a sudden there flashes across our everyday awareness the truth of recognition.

And a mystery begins to unfold.

This is the beautiful story of the self recognizing the Self.  So that is the blissful moment...the sweet moment...the holy-spark-of-recognition moment.  And we don't have to be in another country or another state of mind or even on our best behavior, for when that moment comes it comes of its own volition to visit our hearts and enliven our senses and bless our day.

In the Christian gospel, after Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead he turns to the community standing nearby and commands, "Unbind this man!"  I doubt Jesus needed help finishing the job.  I think he wants us to know that we are divine too, and that our latent divinity is not so deeply hidden as we imagine.  And that we are all participants in creation.

So we unbind one another, dear one.

And this is our deep purpose and this is our privilege - to come home to one another.  

To come home to love.

Namaste
