Overlooked Treasure

from Zawia Ebrahim Discourses · host Zawia Ebrahim

"Exile has a purpose, the purpose of exile is homecoming. Affliction has a purpose, the purpose of affliction is transcending the affliction, is to recognise the treasure that was overlooked. It is overlooked because it is taken for granted. The treasure of our existence we overlook, we take for granted, until we recognise - until we are brought to a time of alienation and separation and that then produces an appreciation for what is there."
