The Enclosed World

You are sitting in a room, enclosed by four walls, yet your mind drifts far beyond them. The room, which is a reflection of your own creation, is filled with things that bring comfort and security. Yet, there is an unshakable longing in your heart, a deep-seated desire to step outside, to break free from the limitations of this confined space. You crane your neck, trying to catch a glimpse of the world beyond, but no matter how much you try, the walls remain steadfast, blocking your access to the expansive beauty of the outside world. You wonder, Why do you long to go outside?

Crafting Your Own Reality

The answer lies in the world you have created for yourself within these walls. You have designed it with intention, filling it with the comforts that make it uniquely yours. Yet, in doing so, you have also created a boundary—an invisible wall that separates you from the vastness of the world that exists beyond. Even though this space is a sanctuary, it is not enough to satisfy the innate longing for the freedom and connection that the outside world offers.

The Window to the Outside

The need to experience something larger than yourself, to feel part of the greater world, is a universal drive. As you sit in your room, your mind yearns to break free from the limitations of your self-made world. This is why you long to go outside—to feel connected to something greater than your own creation, to engage with nature and life in its purest form.

A Glimpse of Nature

Then, you open the window. A sliver of the outside world, once distant and unattainable, now enters your room. You see a person walking down the street, the occasional flutter of leaves in the trees, the subtle play of sunlight on the pavement. A distant scene, yet it stirs something deep within you. For a moment, you can breathe in the essence of the outside, and you feel a sense of connection, of belonging.

Restlessness and the Urge to Explore

But this connection is fleeting, and soon you become restless. The window, though offering a glimpse, is still a barrier. You want more. You want to experience the world with all your senses, not just through a narrow frame. So, you throw open the door and step outside.

Now, you are under the vast expanse of the sky, feeling the wind against your skin, breathing in the fresh air. The boundaries of the room are gone, replaced by the endless horizon. You see the trees standing tall, their branches swaying gently in the breeze, their roots firmly anchored in the earth. You see children running and playing in the streets, their laughter echoing in the air. The toddlers, holding their mothers’ hands, seem to take their first hesitant steps into the world, but every now and then, they long to climb into their mothers’ laps for comfort and security.

Embracing the Infinite

As you walk through this scene, you realize that you are no longer just an observer. You have become a part of it. The world outside, with all its life and movement, has absorbed you. You are no longer just in it; you are a part of it. In that moment, you dissolve your identity into the vastness of the creation around you. You become one with the world. The division between you and the nature around you fades, and you feel at one with the rhythm of life.

Dissolution of the Self

In this moment, you are not just experiencing the world; you are part of its eternal flow. You are connected to the trees, the people, the animals, and the very sky above you. And in that connection, you begin to understand something deeper. To truly experience the divine nature of the world, you must dissolve your sense of self. You must let go of the boundaries that separate you from it all. Only by doing this can you truly become one with the creation—one with God.

This is the essence of spiritual unity: to lose yourself, to lose your identity, in order to become one with the infinite. The walls of the room that you once thought of as your sanctuary are no longer necessary. The outside world, in all its beauty and complexity, has become your true home. In this unity, you find peace, understanding, and a deep connection to the divine. You realize that the world you once longed to experience was always a part of you, and you were always meant to be a part of it.
