The people of the world are limbs from one body,
sharing one essence.
When a single limb is oppressed,
all the others suffer agony.
~ Sa'adi of Shiraz
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
