Loving The Work You Do

"Let the beauty we love be what we do."

Rumi

We all do it at various stages of life. We work. We spend much of our life in an activity we call work. This is often simply a means to an end. It is a function we perform in order to have certain things that we want. Many of us identify with our work role. There have been those of use who become extremely disoriented when we lose our job. We lose an idea of the self we claim to be.

The work that we do is not the work that Rumi refers to in the above quote. The invitation that Rumi gives here is to the real Work (yes, work with a capital W). Rumi does not invite you to become someone who is versed in all the latest technique. He does not invite you into more information. In fact, in another of his poems he asks that we swap intellect for bewilderment.

Rumi stars with the phrase ‘Let the beauty.’ He knows that within you is this beauty that is designed to create beauty. He knows that within you is a radiance that is designed to express as beauty in form. It is not something you do but it is what you are. This is why he begins this incredible invitation with the simplest of words.

This is the word ‘let.’ It is an invitation to the power of the Divine Feminine. It requires trust and humility to be the beauty that you are. We all know how to do. Can we now empower our actions with the freedom of simply allowing?

We tend not to trust ourselves very much. We wear around our bodies a bio-energetic armour. We substitute a sense of needing more and more of this and more and more of that. But we do have the alternative of allowing the flow of love.

Love and Work are related to the free flow of sexuality within the body. This free flow has been associated with the power of the feminine and the free expression of creativity through the body of women. In western societies the 1960s saw a breaking down of the rigidity of the patriarchal dominant culture. But rather than exploring and finding a sustainable intimacy, many substituted more bodies and more sex.

Intimacy. Into me- see. This is the beauty that Rumi and an Anamcara invites you to live. Then you will not work for a living but you live to be a creative expression of the great Work. The great Work of Creation is the forever creation of more and more complete forms of creative expression into higher and higher realms of Love.

When you are aligned with this Work through the feeling sense of the beauty within, which you allow simply to be, then this is you aligning with your life’s purpose. Your purpose is beyond the idea that you must ‘earn’ a living working at what you think you ought to be doing. Your purpose is the servant to Love in action.

You are not separate from this force that creates all. When you let be the beauty that you are then there is true freedom. You will naturally express creatively for the highest good of all.
