Master this World
In the Rose of Love,
Between its many-coloured petals,
A dervish whirls,
In the Sea of Mercy,
Beneath the Sky of Knowledge,
There hides a pearl.
Look for it!
Be a good servant
And master this world.
..........................
This world is the world of the ego. And (so I am told) the more you chase it, the less you will gain out of it. And if you run away from the world, it will come chasing after you, offering you its wealth and rich prizes! And this contradictory nature continues in your function of a servant - for the best of masters is the very best of servants of God, His Beloved Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and of all humanity and created things.
We serve the Masters (Shaykhs and Murshids of the Sufi path)? Well, in a manner of speaking. But in truth what can we offer such illuminated souls? They are already happy, happy with God, happy with the Prophet, happy with the Saints of the before, the now and the future. Nay, while we may affect some servanthood towards the Masters, the truth is it is the Masters who serve and support us... for the love and abiding affection to their Most Beloved Master, Muhammad (s.a.w.s.).

| Young men and women. In the spring of their lives often speak of love. But if you wish to learn of real love... there is no better way than here. MasyaAllah... |
Bless you, sunshine. May you have a beautiful day in servanthood to Truth, Love and Mercy.
wa min Allah at-taufiq
Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way
