Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
“Love is my gift to the world. I fill myself with love, and I send that love out into the world. How others treat me is their path; how I react is mine.”
Ya Haqq!

Sufism is the heart of Islam and that heart is full of love. A sufi is called a fakir–someone who owns nothing, not even himself. But in reality, he owns everything, and nothing and no one in this world owns him.
The way starts with knowledge. Under the protection of knowledge you grow to be a gentle, kind and beautiful being, as all were created to be. Then your Lord loves you, and you love Him. “And whoever loves his Lord, all and everything loves him.”
“Come, sweep out the chamber of your heart,
make it ready to be the home of the Beloved.
Only when your self-love leaves it,
will the Beloved enter it.
In you, without you,
He will display His beauties for all to see.”
Mahmud Shabistari
Mashallah!
This is a lovely poem and reminds me of this one i came upon today …
TRUE REMEMBRANCE
True remembrance is that you contemplate the remembrance of yourself by Him-who-is-remembered, while you never cease remembering Him. Then your remembrance of Him will be annihilated in His remembrance of you, and only His remembrance of you will remain and continue, beyond time and space.
- Fatimah Barda’iyah
This quote is beautiful!
Thank you all for the comments :) Another of Dr. Dyer’s quotes which I like is this:
“My belief is that the truth is a truth until you organize it, and then becomes a lie. I don’t think that Jesus was teaching Christianity, Jesus was teaching kindness, love, concern, and peace. What I tell people is don’t be Christian, be Christ-like. Don’t be Buddhist, be Buddha-like.”
His words encapsulate the Sufi path, and indeed all mystical paths.
Ya Haqq!
Masallah! Beautiful quote..
