MLK - A Great Light Bearer and Lamp Lighter
His vision was vast, his being illuminated an entire country if not the world. His consciousness is a part of the stream of light that is the living consciousness of the Rasul.
Those of us who have made the pledge to be Light Bearers will find a powerful connection to his being as part of the Sister/Brotherhood of light.
Take a moment, if you want, to reflect upon his presence in the world: his great Compassion, Self Sacrifice, Love, Wisdom, Breadth of Vision, Faith in God, Unity of perception, Humility which gave Strength, and all this directed toward fulfilling a critical evolutionary mission acted out within the United States.
"Warner of coming dangers, wakener of the world from sleep, deliverer of the Message of God, thou art our Savior.
The sun at the dawn of creation, the light of the whole universe, the fulfillment of God's purpose, thou the life eternal, we seek refuge in thy loving enfoldment.
Spirit of Guidance, source of all beauty, and creator of harmony; love, lover, and beloved lord, thou art our divine ideal."
Pir-O-Murshid Inayat Khan -- A Prayer of the Gayatri
I leave you with these two inspiring quotes from him:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." (1963)
"We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." (1967)

When I desire to attune to the great stream of illuminated consciousness that is the Rasul, the Prophetic stream, I contemplate the prayer Rasul:
The sun at the dawn of creation, the light of the whole universe, the fulfillment of God's purpose, thou the life eternal, we seek refuge in thy loving enfoldment.
Spirit of Guidance, source of all beauty, and creator of harmony; love, lover, and beloved lord, thou art our divine ideal."
Pir-O-Murshid Inayat Khan -- A Prayer of the Gayatri
