for love....

"Your task is not

to seek for love,

but merely to seek 

and find 

all the barriers

within yourself

that you have built 

against it."

“OM BUHR, BHUVA, SWAHA
OM TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM
BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI
DHIYO YONAHA PRACHODAYAT”

We meditate on the glory of the Creator;
Who has created the Universe;
Who is worthy of Worship;
Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;
Who is the remover of Sin and Ignorance;
May He open our hearts and enlighten our Intellect.

A friend of God must have affection like the sun...

Psalm 95 

1.  Sing ye to the Lady a new canticle: sing to the Lady, all the earth.

2 Sing ye to the Lady and bless Her Names: shew forth Her salvation from day to day.

3 Declare Her glory among all creations: Her wonders among all people.

4 For the Lady is great, and exceedingly to be praised: revered with  call on Her with Beautiful Names.

5 For She fights the enemies of Her people: She made the earth and heavens.

6 Praise and beauty are before Her: holiness and majesty in Her sanctuary.

7 Bring ye to the Lady, O ye kindreds of humanity, bring ye to the Lady glory and honour:

8 Bring to the Lady glory unto Her Name. Bring up loving gifts and offerings, 

and come like guests into Her courts:

9 Adore ye the Lady in Her holy court. Let all the earth be moved at Her presence.

10 Say ye among all people, the Lady sustains and cherishes with mercy and love, kindness and patience, 

For She hath corrected the world with Loving-Mercy; She will judge the people with justice.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:

12 The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

13 Before the face of the Lady, because She cometh: because She cometh to judge the earth. She shall judge the world with justice, and the people with Her Truth.

"A friend of God must have affection like the sun. 

When the sun rises, it is beneficial to all,

 irrespective of whether they are Muslims, Christian, or Hindu."

- al-Ghawth Khawaja Mu'in ad-din Chishti -

Ushta!

I am a Mazdayasni,

who seeks the Light,

to reflect righteousness in all I do.

The Good Religion of Truth

found in thinking the good thought, 

speaking the good word and performing the good deeds.

I dedicate all to the Purpose

of Light and Wisdom, Ahura Mazda:

that Light and Wisdom

will overcome all darkness and ignorance.

Lailat al-Qadr (The Night of Power)

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, theCompassionate

Every person here is the truth in God,

Like a garden of grapes, 

She is the field, the grapes themselves, 

The man who works in the field and the wine of purity;

She is the song, the singer, the note,

And the love which is given without asking for anything in return,

Or without holding anything in reserve,

She is the picture and the thing pictured

and the seer, inside and outside -

This picture makes me to flow up,

She is the truth, and the seeking for truth,

and the knowing of the truth.

You are the person who bears the secret names of God.

All of the secrets of the names have been put in you.

When you realize who you are, you will be the Qur'an.

You will be the word of God,

and the people will come to read you.

They will look to you with holiness

Because you are the speech of Him, which is ordered.

All the kings will prostrate themselves before you,

Before that which is given to you,

That which is hidden within you,

That which you rent.

You are the fuqara, the poor folk, the image of praying;

The revelation and also the receiver of revelation.

You are the quietness to give from Him to Him.

You are the poor - the picture of Him.

This is your situation when you are fired with love.

When you sleep so deeply, she is the waking of love.

You think you sleep, but you are awake always.

Turning, turning, turning around the throne of the most high.

Laila's play is the dance of the deep secret knowing,

of the Muhammad soul;

the wine, the cup, the drinking, the drunkenness,

the great war, the victory, the wedding feast:

Laila on the night of Lailat al-Qadr.

~Shaykh Muhammad Sa'id Jamal ar-Rifa'i as-Shadhuli

O Parvardigar...

O Parvardigar! The Preserver and Protector of All,

You are without beginning and without end.

Non-dual, beyond comparison,

and none can measure You.

You are without color, without expression,

without form and without attributes.

You are unlimited and unfathomable;

beyond imagination and conception;

eternal and imperishable.

You are indivisible;

and none can see you but with eyes divine.

You always were, You always are,

and You always will be.

You are everywhere, You are in everything, and

You are also beyond everywhere and beyond everything.

You are in the firmament and in the depths,

You are manifest and unmanifest;

on all planes and beyond all planes.

You are in the three worlds,

and also beyond the three worlds.

You are imperceptible and independent.

You are the Creator, the Lord of Lords,

the Knower of all minds and hearts.

You are Omnipotent and Omnipresent.

You are Knowledge Infinite, Power Infinite and Bliss Infinite.

You are the Ocean of Knowledge,

All-knowing, Infinitely-knowing;

the Knower of the past, the present and the future;

and You are Knowledge itself.

You are all-merciful and eternally benevolent.

You are the Soul of souls, the One with infinite attributes.

You are the Trinity of Truth, Knowledge and Bliss;

You are the Source of Truth, the Ocean of Love.

You are the Ancient One, the Highest of the High.

You are Prabhu and Parameshwar;

You are the Beyond God and the Beyond-Beyond God also;

You are Parabrahma; Paramatma; Allah; Elahi; Yezdan;

Ahuramazda, God Almighty, and God the Beloved.

You are named Ezad, the Only One Worthy of Worship.

Meher Baba on Wikipedia

in this most intense love......

O beloved friends, please listen: the purpose of human life, 

the supreme ideal of which all other ídeals are simply an expression,

 is to cultivate love... 

There is no boundary whatsoever to Pure love —

 it embraces humanity and Divinity equally. 

In this most intense love, no sense of duality can remain.
