Oh Beloved,take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.
Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.

...and then what? How do we put it into political practis? Pointless just sitting there praising god and crying becos he's sooo loving. I think he would be tired of it too. Think must get off one's ass and do something about all this crap in the world and stop crying tears of joy and all that shit.
ReplyDeleteu r right in a sense. whats the point? good question.
ReplyDeletefirst of all if we r not aware of ourselves, then how can we expect the world to change. if we loose our spiritual identity as loving creation of God, then we will lose the love for humanity. (and that is happenning in the world, isn't it?).. in the west ppl are losing all the values. and then comes all the hatred, all the misunderstanding.
just because of decline of family value, how many children r suffering due to sepration of parents? don't u think thats a big problem? forget about all those bombing and wars... only in america how many child are suffering for divorsed parents and growing up without proper love? hv u ever given a thought why are those crap things r happenning?

coming here, to your blog, always moves me.
ReplyDeleteThanks jules for coming..
ReplyDeletein previous post i replied to some of ur comments. pls do check if u hv time.
Love.
tsk..tsk..tsk...(to myself) and i thought people had forgotten about the coolth of ISlAM...aaawwwe...so "sing-deshi", how's life? Been playing with HTML eh? Well, nice to see quranic verses there on our side-bar...but you forgot to put in the most inspirational...yet the most vague...yet the most true saying of all "Kullu nafsin jaikatul maut"..and "Thou shall perish everything that lives"...i love english-quran so much...has so much "BHAAB" in it....as for rumi, take this one from M.Galib:-
ReplyDelete"Ke use ne mere quatil ke bad jaffa se tauba...ke wajood ne pashmen se pashmen hoo naa"....
trans: O' you who after finishing me took the vow never to be cruel again; soon did he repent, "BRavo"...
on the other hand, our own bangla literature have much-better works than those,
chao.
o another thing, i don't have anything against any special "Sufism-fanatic"..but i think idealisms like "sufism" , "Buddhism" are plain simple **** crap...its not in human genome to be calm and serene...man is after all an animal, not a plant...thereby maneuvers like "the Buddhist palm" are only appreciable on-screen when the hero in :kung-fu-hustle: performs it...otherwise they are futile; yoga dont feed you or your offsprings in a 3-rd world country, neither does smoking pots and dreaming of "Saki-with-wine-bottle" all day.....although i do read galib/rumi/william-damprimple's books..but dont pay that much heed...when metaboric acid in your stomach grumbles, the moon does seem like a "Nice-home-made-chapati"...thats why Shukanto rulz....although his "communism" doesn't
:P seems like a recurring-decimal ? ignore it....your blog's so kewl..couldn't resist commenting. ^_^
I love your blog and I love that picture with the white dove. It reminds me of this quote: "Two men behind bars...one sees the dirt and one sees the stars." I forgot who said it, but I love that one. its so true.
ReplyDeleteTo 'some deshi guy',
ReplyDeleteDear deshi guy,
motamoter jonno dhonno baad.
To be honest, (in respnose to ur line, "its not in human genome to be calm and serene") it is only that inspiration to excel beyond our animalism and to be calm which i personally see the highest idea. If u wanna be anti-calm, super duper charged with blood raging, pls do go ahead and take a clock with u. See how long that last and when that last u will return to ur natural state which is to be calm. hope u understand.
yes offcourse bangla literature has much much beautiful stuff. Just going upto Jibonando Das will be enough. He is really Oshadharon.
thanks for that verse from Quran. No offence. Keep ur blasting words coming. they truly inspire me.
Nothing exists but God.
"Two men behind bars...one sees the dirt and one sees the stars."
ReplyDeletei really Loved it Katt. thanks for ur kind words.
Surely God rewards whoever does an atom of good (Quran).
"atom" of good. hmmm? i like that, a good word "Atom" I think the saying was mud not dirt.
ReplyDelete"Two men behind bars;one sees the mud and the other sees the stars."
I can't find it...I'm still searching.
you got a point to sadiq. But we are not going to know about love by contemplating the unknowable. We just gotta take what God says about love and keep our contemplation for how we are going to realise it on earth.
ReplyDeleteBeloved Anonymous,
ReplyDeletePraise be to God.
If you want to know and work for it, God willing He will reward you with the knowledge. If you contemplate, ponder and meditate, God will let your heart know the meaning. Rely on God. Even God is the Unknowlable, yet "Seeking God" is the highest cause to God.
Yes offcourse you can take to heart what God says. But also open your heart, beloved friend. Otherwise how do you realize?
Also we shuold learn from our lives and others. I'm sure all the answers are around us. nspirations from God never stops coming.
God Bless
