Most human beings agreed to live in ignorance with their consciousness lost in the mind. They accepted to live in forgetfulness. But with this agreement, they have died.
A person who is not free from the mind is a ghost and not a being. Freedom from the mind is your dignity as the divine being, which you are. A being has to be born. It is not born from another, it is born from within. When your are born in the body, it means that the body becomes pregnant with the Soul. The Soul is not released until you give birth to her. One day she will be born.

Becoming Human

Once a man came to me and spoke for hours about
“His great visions of God” he felt he was having.

He asked me for confirmation, saying,
“Are these wondrous dreams true?”

I replied, “How many goats do you have?”

He looked surprised and said,
“I am speaking of sublime visions
And you ask
About goats!”

And I spoke again saying,
“Yes brother, how many do you have?”

“Well, Hafiz, I have sixty-two.”

“And how many wives?”
Again he looked surprised, then said,
“Four.”

“How many rosebushes in your garden,

How many children,
Are you parents still alive,
Do you feed the birds in winter?”

And to all he answered.

Then I said,
“You asked me if your visions were true,
I would say that they were if they make you become
More human,

More kind to every creature and plant
That you know.”
