Rumi said, 'I’ve been knocking at a door. The door opens suddenly. I realise I have been knocking from inside.' Think about it! It means that he was already inside, but he was imagining he was outside. So he had to knock, saying, 'Let me in, let me in, let me in!' But he was already in. And this is a metaphor, a paradox also, of what life can appear to be.
I want to remind you that sometimes you can fall in love with your practice, and then the practice becomes almost like your goal. You forget what the goal is. You’ve fallen too much in love with the journey… You must remember this: What is it you are practicing for? Because even though you may love your practice, it should not go on forever. Otherwise you miss your goal, and you end up only in love with your practice. That practice is not the goal.
…I wish that you will continue to search so that when you search with earnestness, Grace will come to you, and Grace will help you to find That which you are searching for. God bless you.

Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country. Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy." Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30.
