Dfurstane (Eternal Essence)
is the Way, Truth, and Light
To embrace the all in all is having an appreciation
of creation’s manifestations. The
heavenly bodies - the sun, moon, and stars, known and unknown planets
traversing the sky are phenomenal. The
trees, plants, oceans, rivers, streams, mountains, hills and valleys speak in
their own language, while being buffeted by the wind. So are the seasons – spring, summer, autumn,
and winter with their distinct moods.
Sometimes it’s calm, beautiful, and glorious, while occasionally there
are hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and forest fires.
But birds, reptiles, fishes, and animals of all
sorts inhabit the earth living on land or in seas. They breed, feed, and exist in a divine and
unpredictable reality. These creatures
in their respective environments are provided for by nature. People breathe fresh air, pick fruits from
trees, enjoy the meats of animals, drink refreshing water, build cozy houses
with wood of trees, light a fire to cook their meals, and dress in warm
clothing from nature’s bounty.
This is only a part of the Eternal
Essence that’s within, above, below, and around us. To personalize this Essence
is only a metaphor. S/he is omniscient,
omnipresent, omnipotent, immanent, and transcendent. No words can adequately describe this
all-encompassing Essence that’s the sum of all living and non-living things.
