Longing is the spirit, the life giving force, of imagination. Longing leads us to an imagination that can reason, and this is the doorway to the universe. If the ground changes beneath our feet then all things change, including us, and all things changing are changing towards an end, including us. We always long for […]

The Wondrous Spirit of Being
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 […]
Silence
The most valuable things in life are certainly not material belongings. Most of people’s facts are about countable things. Gifts such as love, faith, compassion, tolerance are among the most valuable and they freely reside inside each of us. It only takes some painful efforts to let them come into being through expression and commitment […]
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 […]
Var Olmanın Dayanılmaz Hafifliği
Gereksiz bir süs ya da ilâhi koreografide bir hata değildi bu. Gaston, yüreğinin derinliklerinde biliyordu ki, Can ile Canan, sema ile semazen arasında ayrılık yoktur. Düşler soyut olduğu kadar somut da ve modern fizik, kutsal gizemlere bağlı: Özellikle moleküller. Yani, bu yazının bir rüyanın kâğıda aktarımı olup olmadığını soracak olursanız, anlatmak istediklerimi daha en başından […]
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 […]
Plays of Love
I speak of my great uncle with enormous respect and affection. I saw him as a deeply spiritual person, but one who never spoke about the specifics of the religion of Islam. I once asked him about religion, “What do you think about God and religion?” My great uncle said, “I think it has something […]
