a journey of love, (2)

How can life be small or big?
Life is life...
...and it is only one thing.
Your life, my life, animal's life and bird's life...
...life is the same thing...
...life is one.

What can a person do to someone other than himself?
Whatever someone does, they only do it to their own self.

Those who know do not tell,
those who tell do not know.

Of course, you cannot have a story without a moral.
Otherwise it would be empty talk.

Whoever gives in to the desires of their flesh...
...and forget their own truth, they will be thrown out of heaven.

Just because we are being mistreated...
...we should not treat others badly.

A man cannot be powerful enough to do everything he pleases...
...but everyone has the power to reject the thing he doesn't want to commit to.

Fortune has a thousand ways.
Only God can know the future.
But dreams are real.
Its interpretations cannot be taught.
Only with God's inspiration.

When the time comes...
...everyone...
...will rise up to these stars.
They will rise and watch the world from there.
Then, they will understand...
...they will see from there that...
...a dust speck flying in the light...
...an ant or a person are no different.

What can a doctor do to the setting sun?
Is there a medicine that can stop time?

A wise person makes a lesson out of disasters.
There's not a single wise man who hasn't graduated from the disaster school.

This medicine deserves to be recommended to those who have sin illness. And this prescription is still valid.

His Mercy surpass all things.

Those who cannot save themselves from the worldly issues...
...cannot be saved.

If you don't know how to enter from a door, you won't know how to get out.

Hazrat Sultan Ibrahim ibn Adhem
رحمتہ اللہ علیہ

What do the sages say?
This road is thin, sharper than a sword.
Some go on this road leaving behind crowns and thrones...
...some go on the road for a crown and throne.

Even if you drink water from a golden cup, all you drink is a cup of water.
If gold itself were valuable...
...He would have created the whole universe from gold.

Creatures and subjects..

If you could fly to heaven by only leaving a post...
...you couldn't find a sultan in a palace.

The fault is in the eye.
Our religion orders to cover it, not see it.

Those who say, “I also know,” only try to stir trouble in the world.

How can you find peace without calming?

Is there anything without an owner?
Even the ash in the furnace has an owner.

This world of lies even wears people down. Wouldn't it wear down a house?

Question:
My sheikh, many have started to abandon prayers and worship,
What do we need to tell them?
Please enlighten us so that we can tell.

In essence, religion says the same thing in all its sentences.
For the rest, a person is on his own.

He knows your prayers even before you recite it.

Those who understand the meaning, surrender and follow.

But we believe that only God can test a person.
Who are we to test a person...
...and choose, saying you are right, you are crooked.

Being good is easy.
Being just is the difficult one.

If what you uncovered was the truth...
...it doesn't matter whether the culprit was a shah, a sultan or anyone else.

But know that a delayed justice...
...is not justice.

If He was going to belittle the crooked...
...would He have created it?

Those who say are crooked may become straight tomorrow.
Those who are straight, may become crooked tomorrow.

Of course goodwill may lead to bad consequences...
...but has the road ended...
...that we conclude whether it is good or bad?
Let's see what's in future...
...so many crooks got straightened, so many straight got crooked.

The sages say that a dervish is made in the kitchen.
Especially decency and manners.

A young brain needs direction.

The flesh is seven headed dragon.
If you do not tame the flesh,
your mind submits and gets chased by it.
And you find yourself drifting from one sin to other.
May God help you so that someone would hold your hand and...
...pull you out of that quicksand.

The heart is the throne of Allah, those who break a heart can't have ablution.

You call us friends of Allah, you compliment us.
Does The Creator not say, “I am closer to you than your heart's artery?”
So, He must be friends with everyone.
Some may be aware, some not.
That's the only difference.

The sages says that mankind is a sample of the universe.
Whatever is written in this Universe book can be read from the humans.

Repentance turns a thorn into a rose, a poison into honey.

It is the ego that stirs up the trouble. Ego is the infinite blind shaft within the person.

Of course, there is no magic in the words of the poet.
The magic is in the truth.

The truth doesn't need a translation.
But without purifying and settling down...
...can truth be unveiled?
If you haven't burned your heart...
...if you didn't bathe in the water of 40 fountains...
...if you haven't cleansed your heart...
...can flowers of truth bud in there?

Do not forget, words that are rooted in the truth...
...win battle with time.

The Book says...
...do not let the devil deceive you with Allah.

The war on the battlefield is so futile...
...when compared with the war within a person.
Your biggest enemy is your flesh.

The book says, “We explain the verses to the knowing people.”

To the knowing people.
Not to the Arabs, the Persians, the Turks, the Greeks, nor to the Armenians but...
...to the knowing people.

A good community arises from a good person.

Ya Muhammad, Muhammad
esselatu vesselam

Where there is no zakat and charity, there is no order.
When full forgets the starving's situation...
...there is no order, there is no unity.
Then, don't collect, just give.
If you have little, give little.
If you have more, give more.

It is him who sustains life, don't be fooled.
Don't be in debt to men.

Making the right decision...
...is not always doing what pleases you.

Mankind is strange.
We calculate many things...
...and none fits when actualized.
We dig the holes and we fall in them.
But it is also us that will carry ourselves out of the hole.
Of course it is not someone else that can get out of the hole we are in.

Mind's zakat is to think positive.
Mind without zakat is called intelligence.
We must not value it so.

Do not let this busyness make us forget the test.
Then like a wind blowing we may lose our way.
We may forget we are taking a test.

You would think you are taking a single test...
...but then you realize it is a test within a test.

If love is moving from existence to nothingness...
...how one can reach God...
...without going through Laila?

He who sees shame in something cannot see the unseen.
Can one see the Divine before seeing Leila?

Does love end?
If it doesn't...
...does Leila end?
Does Majnun end?

Leila is dead!
Majnun is dead!
Love survived.

What is the nature of the dhikr?
It is obvious...
...remembering is dhikr.
Who? the Beloved.

Can you be mad at the mirror?

Intention, which is the desire, is hidden from the will.
Intention knows the will but will does not know the intention.
Then with his whole will...
...whatever the Creator lets it to be or not to be...
...is consistent with will itself.

Or are you not satisfied with what you know?

Telling, it is informing against it!
And complaining is against tawhid!
Breaking the unity.!

Dervish-hood is about...
...for one to break himself...
...not the tawhid.
