The Perilous Life of a Dervish - losing your heart and mind to the oracles, signs and symbols of God

Life if always full of peril. Earlier this morning my heart was
at risk of being stolen by this little boy...

25. Bewitched

I am bewitched

By the beautiful smiles

And gentle voices

Of men, women and children.

These oracles of heaven

God has left behind

To console the wayward and the lost.

.................

While some men who search for conspiracies and the secret symbols of the enemy of humanity (we can call him the Devil) are busy attracting the knowledge that is required for their craft, I am afraid that I have absolutely no talent for such endeavours (too much hard work). But I see a greater danger for mankind, the real threat to our independence and freedom... God.

... and of course, in our family are those always keen
to imperil our sense of loneliness and make us a part
of something better and greater...

For the truth is, sunshine, we are all imperiled. Our very own souls are at risk - imperiled by the oracles and signs, by the codes and symbols of the Lord that He has left scattered all over the world to entrap us...

Men Losing Everything

Right from the beginning of time,

Men have been at risk of losing their hearts

To the indescribable beauty of women,

Losing their sense of balance holding

Their beloved children in their arms,

Losing their intoxicated heads (sometimes, literally!)

Drunk in the Truth of God,

Losing their freedom of movement

To God's own agenda,

Losing their hearth and home

To the wanderlust of the Dervish,

Losing their riches to

The riches of the heart,

Losing their pride for the Glory of God,

Losing their wayward and foolish ways

For the Sunnah (traditions) of the Prophet (pbuh),

Losing their wasteful fear for the beneficial fear of the Lord,

Losing their weary hindsight

For the inspired foresight of the seekers of God,

Losing their attraction of this illusory world

For the Eternal Beauty of God,

Losing their dependence on others

To a dependence on God alone,

And seeking no guidance but the guidance

Of Muhammad Habibullah (pbuh), the First Light of Creation!

............................

But when we lose everything, we gain for ourselves nothingness, through which state we may slip through the prison bars of this illusory and transient world for the infinite knowledge of the manifest Mercy and Compassion, Beauty and Truth of God, Lord Creator of all mankind - it is an Ocean of Happiness that has no end in its horizon, sunshine.

... passed away or in passing, God has conspired lethal
traps to ensnare all of humanity to the best,
safest and most beautiful life, for here
and in the hereafter.
al fatiha

Well, that is what the heavenly brochure tells me. He he he.

Hate has no place in Islam

Love will show the Way
