#32 Kingdom of the Heart - Musa Muhaiyaddeen

When people ask you, “Where do you live,” the response is usually something like “America” or “Turkey” or “Philadelphia” or “Istanbul” or “Canada” or “Toronto.” In other words, it’s a place. We all identify ourselves with living in a place. Some people might say, “I live on the planet Earth,” which would cover most of the countries. But still, people identify themselves with a specific spot somewhere. And as you twirl the map and if you travel around the world, there are lots of different spots where people live. I’ve been to lots of them. And these spots come with different languages, different cultures, different colors of people, different ideas. Now, there are literally hundreds of place names in the world. There’s a place called Morocco, there’s a place called Tunisia, there’s a place called Africa, there’s a place called Ghana, there’s a placed called Asia. People identify themselves with these places. — All of this is a lie. You don’t live in a place. There are only two kingdoms that exist in this world, the kingdom of the mind and the kingdom of the heart. And you live in one or the other.
