THE PATH by DAG HAMMARSKJÖLD The moment, when Hammarskjöld said ‘yes’ to ‘something or someone’ was a key moment – after which he gave himself with full conviction to his work as UN chief. He had a deep spiritual experience of liberation and enlightenment, but that resulted in an even greater and more convinced engagement in worldly matters. The material and stubborn world mattered even more to Hammarskjöld precisely because of his enlightenment. That is the way: the inner kingdom as upper room, a safe place in the heart; the consciousness directed toward the Light. Thus the enlightened human being is active in ‘the world’, in the community. Without diminishing his own inner path, which he lays aside in and through service to others.
