My heart can take on any appearance. The heart varies in accordance with variations of the innermost consciousness. It may appear in form of a gazelle meadow, a monkish cloister, the tablets of the Torah for certain science, the bequest of the leaves of the Koran.My duty is the debt of Love. I accept freely and willingly whatever burden is placed upon me. Love is as the love of lovers, except that instead of loving the phenomenon, I love the Essential. That religion, that duty, is mine, and is my faith. A purpose of human love is to demonstrate ultimate, real love. This is the love which is conscious. The other is that which makes man unconscious of himself.~~~ Ibn Al Arabi
The earth and the sand are burning. Put your face on the burning sand and on the earth of the road, since all those who are wounded by love must have the imprint on their face, and the scar must be seen. Let the scar of the heart be seen, for by their scars are known the men who are in the way of love. - Prophet Muhammed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sunset on Summer Solstice ..~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I'm gonna live, live, live. I'm gonna love, Love, LOVE! Got so much more living to do, and a whole lot of loving it's true. Won't let troubles make me blue, just because theres a lot to get through. It's not nice to be, all be yourself; it's not wise to see heaven through one eye.So, Im gonna live, live, live. I'm gonna love, Love, LOVE! Im gonna live, live, live. I'm gonna love, Love, LOVE!See the time a' coming upon, and this season will soon be gone. Lord, I've got so many things to get done and there's still battles to be won. It's not nice to be, all be yourself; it's not wise to see heaven through one eye.So, Im gonna live, live, live. T'm gonna love, Love, LOVE! Im gonna live, live, live. I'm gonna love, Love, LOVE! Live, Live, LIVE! Love, Love, LOVE!! I'm gonna Live, I'm gonna LOVE. I'm gonna get what Life was to give." ~~ Jimmy Cliff~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“I am concealed, secret, sometimes, Sometimes I appear, and become obvious. Sometimes I am Muslim Sometimes I am in the faith of Moses Sometimes I am Christian. In order to be a model to everyone I manifest differently in every time.†~~ Rumi
Can't achieve a a garden if you never water your crops; If you never paid your dues, then you don't get props; Couldn't eat a proper meal without cookin it first; Can't receive a paycheck if you don't do work; If it wasn't for the rain then the trees won't grow; When the spring came around, what a sight to bestow; When you face adversities, dark clouds won't last; If you never study, how do you expect to pass? The grasshoppers laid around while the ants did chores; When the winter came around, he was left outdoors; See the cycle keeps moving like a big machine; Evolution of the mind, soul, body and being; God'll never put upon you more than you can take; Sometimes you even gotta learn from other people's mistakes; So head on these people got to meet the task; Educate, keep learnin, gotta question, ask! And let your light keep shinin and remember the past; By any means necessary, we'll be free at last ~~ BlackalisciousBY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!!
The Sufi who knows the Ultimate Truth acts and speaks in a manner which takes into consideration the understanding, limitations and dominant concealed prejudices of his audience. To the Sufi, worship means knowledge. Through knowledge he attains sight. The Sufi abandons the three 'I's. He does not say 'for me', 'with me', or 'my property'. He must not attribute anything to himself.
