Clueless

You know nothing of yourself and in this state

you will know that when you were alive you were dead,

and only thought yourself alive.

Stranger

Love is a stranger and speaks in a strange tongue.

how do you explain something with words, when it begins where language ends?

words are just imaginings.

superfluous.

empty.

Journey to HEaven

"Our death is our wedding with eternity.
What is the secret? 'God is One.'
The sunlight splits when entering the windows of the house.
This multiplicity exists in the cluster of grapes;
It is not in the juice made from the grapes.
For he who is living in the Light of God,
The death of the carnal soul is a blessing.
Regarding him, say neither bad nor good,
For he is gone beyond the good and the bad."

Ocean in a bucket

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِي

it is like putting the ocean into a bucket..

a heart's a heavy burden.

may your heart be loved the way it wants to be.

Wasy-syamsu tajri limustaqarril laha, zalika taqdirul azizil-‘alim

"dan matahari berjalan di tempat peredarannya. Demikianlah ketetapan Yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Mengetahui." (Yasin;38)

Wisdom

Wisdom is like the rain.
Its source is unlimited, but it comes down according to the season.
Grocers put sugar in a bag, but their supply of sugar is not the amount in the bag.
When you come to a grocer, he has sugar in abundance.
But he sees how much money you have brought and gives accordingly.
Your currency on this Path is resolution and faith, and you are taught according to your resolution and faith.
When you come seeking sugar, they examine your bag to see what its capacity is, then they measure out accordingly.

~ Jalaluddin Rumi
