Nasrudin

Bedar, the Watchman, caught Nasrudin prising open the window of his own bedroom from the outside, in the depths of night.

What are you doing, Mulla? Locked out?”

Hush! They say I walk in my sleep. I am trying to surprise myself and find out.”

RUMI - The Sufi Master

I have put duality away, I have seen the two worlds are one;
One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.

He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, he is the inward.

RUMI - The Sufi

Be silent! be silent! for love behaves contrary to normal;
Here the meaning hides itself if you talk too much.

Sacrum

Life is Sacred.

So is Sex.

For one cannot exist without the other.

TRUTH

Truth is that which cannot be denied.

A lie, being the denial of Truth, is an illusion. It has no real existence.

Everything that changes is an illusion.
All that exists changes in time, therefore Truth is not there.

That which remains through time unchanged, is Change.

Whatever you think, you can create an opposite thought that denies it.
Therefore Truth is not in your thoughts.

But your thoughts can, paradoxically, lead you towards Truth.
You do it when you use them to understand the Laws of Nature.

And that is called Science.

The issue is: How do you go about to find Truth in yourself.
To find it in your Heart.

When you find It in yourself, you will find That which remains.
That which is not bounded by Time.
That which is not an illusion.
That which you cannot deny.

Your Self.

LIFE

Ask anyone around the world the following question: "What is sacred?".

Would you be surprised if you heard : "Life is." ?

So why do you keep killing people, convinced you are doing it in the name of that which is sacred to you ?

I once heard someone say that he would rather worship the Devil than God.

At least, he said, no one ever raised an army to kill others in His name.
