Birdsong brings relief to my longing I’m just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say! Please universal soul, practice some song or something through me! Rumi

O people, try to learn, we must learn something about our Lord and His most beloved servant. The man on Earth is like a star in the sky, appearing in the heavenly realms. No one knows the secrets of that star, we can only know the simple signs that appears […]

Al Basir The All-Seeing One Exalted and Glorious And Allah is All-Seer of what they do. (2:96) And Allah will be pleased with them. And Allah is All-Seer of His slaves. (3:15) And fight them until there is no more disbelief (fitnah) and the religion will all be for […]
C’è una grande differenza tra credo e fede. Il credo è qualcosa che prendiamo da qualcuno, non è la nostra esperienza reale in prima persona. Una goccia non sa, non vede, invita l’altra a credere nell’oceano, ma nessuna delle due si è mai tuffata nelle sue acque. Esse rimangono separate […]
Mullah came upon a frowning man walking along the road to town. “What’s wrong?” he asked. The man held up a tattered bag and moaned, “All that I own in this wide world barely fills this miserable, wretched sack.” “Too bad,” said Mullah, and with that, he snatched the bag […]
A man died far from his home, and in the portion of his will which he had available for bequest, he left in these words: “Let the community where the land is situated take what they wish for themselvs, and let them give that which they wish to Arif the […]

È importante cercare la connessione con Dio, perché esiste solo Lui. Nella preghiera apriamo le mani verso l’alto, inspiriamo e riceviamo una connessione con il Superiore. Per un momento diventiamo silenziosi e permettiamo che la nostra immagine venga fissata, come in una fotografia; è un baleno, e poi espiriamo. Il […]
Il Mullah batteva il tamburo più forte che poteva. I vicini erano stufi del rumore e gli chiesero cosa stesse facendo. Egli rispose: “Mantengo le tigri selvatiche a bada.” Un vicino gridò: “Ma Mullah, non ci sono tigri selvatiche nel raggio di mille chilometri da qui.” Il Mullah sorrise e rispose: “Funziona, non è vero!?“
Coloro che non sentono questo Amore che li trascina come un fiume, coloro che non bevono l’alba come una tazza di acqua sorgiva o sorbiscono un tramonto, per cena, coloro che non vogliono cambiare, lasciali dormire. Questo Amore è oltre lo studio della teologia, quel vecchio inganno e ipocrisia. Se […]
