Ridhwan

Share This

Liberation is really nothing but the personality becoming free in the moment; the personality loosens its grip, lets itself just relax. When your personality hangs loose you become like a child and you enter paradise. In Arabic, Ridhwan is the name for the angel guardian of paradise. But it is also the condition, the actual essential aspect of contentment, satisfaction and fulfillment. Many systems don’t discuss this, for good reason: talking about it to someone who hasn’t experienced this liberation increases attachment and the attitude of grasping. In fact, describing how wonderful it is, describing heaven, can increase the misery and stuckness. This is why many systems just talk about learning how to hang loose. You might be in paradise, but if you don’t know how to hang loose, you won’t enjoy it. – Diamond Heart Book Two: The Freedom to Be, ch.1
