I am a soul returning close to the single authentic source threading the path of mysticism in the occurrence of a combined peace, joy, compassion or love. My agony between competing forces of light and dark, and positive marked division between the material kingdom, the administration of evil forces, and the higher spiritual kingdom from which it is divided. My words may seem to confuse and unclear, at the same time over-simplified and full of subtle meanings hidden from the naive.

My words are very easy to know, and easy to practice; but there is none in the world who can recognize and capable of practice them.
A dimensional fluctuation amid one construction of reality to another. I am crossed a path by sin, shame, remorse.
Repentance, awareness of lower-self attachments and dervishes giving up the thoughts and behaviors is now the necessity for reinstating unity and grace.
Mortification and dejection, defamation and allegation, abundant lives breathed, none could grasp me and in this way my voyage demands further obligation.
My ancestry and individuality is of free spirit. I question if this is a joy. The joy is of mankind shuns and Almighty embraces. That is the joy in the departure from the material release. (2009)


"Religious truth is the inner meaning of the law revealed in the heart of the Sufi by the Divine Light."

In terms of the Ultimate Reality or Truth, I have now come to reject the very basis of "manifestation" and in doing so all systems of thought and knowledge in reference to it is invalid

According to my experience there is nothing to understand about enlightenment as enlightenment is the way of enlightenment itself.

The subject of enlightenment – or anything else – did not interest me all my life ………….. My life-story can be separated into the three catastrophe parts. The first part of my life with Human experience. The second part of my life experienced a Bodily experience with a discontinuity from my human life with the ongoing bodily experience – though not absence – of thought. But I lost all connectivity with the acquired knowledge and memories, and I was made to re-learn everything, as if the slate had been wiped clean.

Be Attached Yet Detached

" Man is a mirror which, when polished, reflects God. " 

The God that the Sufis discover is a God of love and the way to him is through Love : " whoever knows God, loves him ; whoever knows the world turns away from him. " " If you wish to be free, become a prisoner of Love. " 

According to the Sufis, all existence comes from God and God alone is reality. The created world is a reflection of the Divine ; " the universe is the Shadow of the Absolute ". The ability to discern God behind the veil of illusion implies the purity of soul. It is only through an effort to withdraw from the worldly desire that one can approach God : thus the phrase 'Be attached yet detached' 

Sufism has come to existence for those who are interested in finding a way towards inner awakening and enlightenment. A secret tradition behind all religious and philosophical systems. 

Sufi is a quality that is inexplicable in terms of psychology or morals—whoever understands it is a Sufi himself. The Sufi belief includes conscious evolution whereby, through an effort of will, one can develop new faculties, like telepathy and prophecy. According to Sufis, this conforms to belief in the 'limitless '.

The natural Sufi may be someone like you or me—To be 'in the world, but not of it', free from ambition, greed, intellectual pride, blind obedience to custom, or awe of persons higher in rank is the Sufi's ideal. 

The core of Sufism is to leave ordinary life and be closer to God, truth and knowledge. The foremost victory one has to attain in the process of awakening is the mastery over fluctuations of the mind and withdrawal from indulgence in the material world. Thus the whole concept of looking at things changes and the truth becomes visible in that state of Enlightenment.

Universe is made up of two basic things- Matter and Life Energy. Matter acts as a vehicle of life energy. What differentiates other living creatures from human form is that humans are bestowed with higher consciousness. This can be percieved by Virtue of Pure Emotions, Right Knowledge and Spiritual Discipline.There are various routes the Sufi may follow to bridge the gap between God and himself through rhythm, repetition and endurance. This can be manifested in the use of chants, music and dance.

It is more than just whirling and being centered in one space. It is about emanating that energy called love.

Most Sufi paths offer aspirants a gradual opening of the heart's perception through dhikr or zikr, the remembrance of God. This exercise may involve chanting, physical movement and breathwork. These practices are designed to achieve faqr or inner emptiness, leading to fana or non-being and ultimately to baka, an altered state of being.

To be a Sufi, the world need not be abandoned. Instead, bring the Sufi quality to your life. In this age of transcending time and space, when life is a quest for the meaning of life itself, contemplating and questioning cultural and social definitions, Sufism is an adventure: looking at life differently and growing with changed perceptions.
