Do not be fooled: the mystic path is powerfully political. Each one of us lives and dies as a human being, fully incarnated. If we are not politically active, our meditation -- like our breathing -- is worthless. If we are not every day committed to continuing the revolution of peace and justice then we are wasting our lives. Our love -- like our breathing -- is only of value to the degree that we give it away, challenge ourselves to set no boundaries upon our hearts, and create social policies that are transparently just, giving priority to the most powerless among us.
The mystic path invites us to envision a Way and a time in which there will be no more killing, no more starvation, no more injustice -- a time in which everyone is invited and enabled to join at Table and the Happy Feast of Love. We must give every child the gift of hope for her/his full development and liberation. No more excuses!
