Sufism

तेरे अलफ़ाज़ से रिश्ता कोई इलाही है ,तेरे अलफ़ाज़ तेरे होने की गवाही है



Sufism is the sect carved out of Islam that do not instill fear of God, but Love for God, it take God as a beloved. One important sufi saint is mavlana Rumi, who also was inventor of whirling dervish dance, where the dervish think himself and dance in the trance as a planet revolving round the sun.

“silence is the language of god,
all else is poor translation.”




The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along. - Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi

“What you seek is seeking you.”


“Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.”


“I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.”


“Here is a relationship booster
that is guaranteed to
work:

Every time your spouse or lover says something stupid
make your eyes light up as if you
just heard something
brilliant.”


“When you go through a hard period,
When everything seems to oppose you,
... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute,
NEVER GIVE UP!
Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!”

- Rumi


“I searched for God among the Christians and on the Cross and therein I found Him not.
I went into the ancient temples of idolatry; no trace of Him was there.
I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went as far as Qandhar but God I found not.
With set purpose I fared to the summit of Mount Caucasus and found there only 'anqa's habitation.
Then I directed my search to the Kaaba, the resort of old and young; God was not there even.
Turning to philosophy I inquired about him from ibn Sina but found Him not within his range.
I fared then to the scene of the Prophet's experience of a great divine manifestation only a "two bow-lengths' distance from him" but God was not there even in that exalted court.
Finally, I looked into my own heart and there I saw Him; He was nowhere else.”


“There came one and knocked at the door of the Beloved.
And a voice answered and said, 'Who is there?'
The lover replied, 'It is I.'
'Go hence,' returned the voice;
'there is no room within for thee and me.'
Then came the lover a second time and knocked and again the voice demanded,
'Who is there?'
He answered, 'It is thou.'
'Enter,' said the voice, 'for I am within..



For every darvish, three things satrting with alphabet 'ain' is important, ISHQ, AKL, ILM ( Love, Intellect, and Knowledge) - Mehboob - e - Ilaahi, Hazrat Nizamuddin...

May God steal from you all that steals you away from Him. – Rabia Al-Adawiyah
“Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.”
