[Jitendra Hydonus]

Our spirit is the real part of us, the body but its garment. A man would not find peace at the tailor's because his coat comes from there; neither can the spirit obtain true happiness from the earth just because his body belongs to earth.

Bowl of Saki, July 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

It’s in sync with my thoughts today; sometimes I get this feeling these bodies that are walking around forever busy are just places are spirits are trapped in while we pay the sentence for our desires. I believe that it is somewhat different in the astral and causal realms where we do not have the same limitations as here. We are actually working out a type of sentence we have caused to our spirits being assigned to come here. But we do have quite a gift in having this experience here in the physical realm to evolve upward and out.
