It was neither frippery, nor an error in celestial choreography. He knew in his heart there is no separation between Beloved and Bride, dancer and dance. Dreams are no less material than they are vapor, and modern physics pays homage to sacred mysteries: particles, particularly. So if you ask if the story is the retelling […]

The great mystic and the priestess
She was perturbed. She thought the only thing that could protect her was her prayers. He thought that her silly superstitions and worries would fade away. She had the ability to survive any circumstance, especially when left without a choice. She had the endurance and resilience of a good human being. She wanted to start […]
Listening to the soundless voice
External form has no alternative but to express inner beauty. At first sight, the world may appear to collapse when “perspective” collapses, a frightening experience with fascinating results. If truth be told, it is often most wise to stay clear of one’s own mind’s machinations. A sincere seeker’s movement is a right move to the […]
The only solution to human pain and suffering
Love is concurrent with universe—its formation, its presence and its future. Love is the infinite, the dimension into which one can shift; however, one can never have a conscious, intellectual experience of it because the Love dimension is beyond logic and reason. In religious terms, Love is like the breath of Allah (God); you may […]
The purpose of religion in human life
What I have personally experienced and observed is that the purest and most adored knowledge, poetry and artistic creativity have been inspired by signs from the divine. When we look deeply into western philosophy, we often find that individuals have, in essence, re-processed religious texts using different words, thereby removing the core of the divine […]
The beginning of the path
This is an amusing world full of fast-talking, fast-moving midgets who operate vast communication systems gathering and relaying information. Their information system is like an overgrown internet, and creators and users both are obsessed with trivia. They think if they get enough facts together they might understand themselves and other people. But most of their […]
The Home
Listened to the voice of love. Listened to the voice of the beloved. O lover and O beloved, Who says you are distant? Who says you are far away? Who is this that makes me laugh? Who is this that makes me cry? Who is this that warms my heart? Who is this that makes […]
A king questions a sufi
A ragged pilgrim of the sufis’ Way By chance met with a king, and heard him say: “Who’s better, me or you?” The old man said: “Silence, your words are empty as your head! Although self-praise is not our normal rule (The man who loves himself is still a fool), I’ll tell you, since I […]
Der wundersame Sinn des Daseins
Es war weder Firlefanz noch ein Fehler der himmlischen Choreografie. Er wusste in seinem Innersten, dass es dort keine Trennung zwischen Geliebtem und Braut, Tänzer und Tanz, besteht. Träume sind sowohl stofflich, als auch auch dunstig-nebulös, und die moderne Physik würdigt diese heiligen Mysterien: insbesondere Elementarteilchen. Wenn Sie also fragen, ob diese Geschichte die Nacherzählung eines […]
Ego mind is blind! Start with the heart!
We must be experiencing the peak of human selfishness and greed. We have descended into a kind of modern dark age, the wisdom of old is lost to us. It is an all-consuming tragedy. The energy in the world at the moment is striving for meaning as it desires the void of the image based […]
