Sometimes the presence of the Lord is too much.
You try to go to bed but the bed rejects you.
Sleep rejects you.
Sleep says, 'Go. I don't want you now.
Go and stay with Him.
Go and be with your Lord.
Keep the Lord's company. This night you will not sleep.'
Sometimes we are on fire like this
and no water can quench this fire.
You find yourself leaving your house.
You step out under the moonlight,
under the stars to try and cool off
and it is not happening.
It even gets more intense.
You are full of the brightness of the spirit.
This body is made for the holy spirit.
You have to drink God's 'Rum Punch'.
When you are drunk in the holy spirit you will forget
everything except him. This is freedom itself.
The house of sorrow is burning
and only the clear space of God is left.
Only that cannot be burnt.
~ Mooji, from the book 'White Fire'
