Excerpt
This day is dear to me above all other days, for to-day the Beloved Lord is a guest in my house; My chamber and my courtyard are beautiful with His presence. My longings sing His Name, and they are become lost in His great beauty: I wash His feet, and I look upon His Face; and I lay before Him as an offering my body, my mind, and all that I have. What a day of gladness is that day in which my Beloved, who is my treasure, comes to my house! All evils fly from my heart when I see my Lord.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Kabir, the mystic poet of India, the day we welcome the divine Beloved into our home is the most beautiful of all: His presence makes the room and the courtyard beautiful, we offer Him all that we are, and evils fly from the heart. Today, as you come home, live that moment as if God were your guest: tidy a corner, light a lamp or prepare a drink with that same care.
