yesterday my spiritual companionreminded me about surrender,
and at the twilight of sunset
the inner teacher broke silence
to talk about
veiled secrets of surrender work.
the one with no face reminded:
where are you going, my son?
stop all and re-learn surrender first.
surrender is human being's inner core,
with it each child is born.
for each human being
surrender is that secret door.
it is an invitation into
the secret space of submission
enter to be absorbed in clouds of unknowing.
once you know
the mysteries of surrender to the Divine,
all other mysteries will transform
from coarse to fine.
either:
surrender or suffer
surrender or be ungrateful
surrender or be forgotten
surrender or be dead heart
surrender or be lost
surrender to boundless openness
or remain closed.
surrender to the Divine
and be His.
surrender and
taste this supreme bliss.

Dear Sidi Sadiq,
Surrender we must to gain salvation, for if not, there is good chance that we may be caught in the perpetual cycle of life, death & rebirth, a never-ending cycle - in the Karmic principle...
Somewhere I read a hadith (to the effect) :
"God generates beings, and He sends them over and over again.., until they RETURN TO HIM..."
AllahHuAlam - abnizar
(contd)
Apart from the Revelatory traditions, in the Mystical tradition Guru Nanak stands out amongst mystics, who taught that if his disciples followed the inner-core of his teachings closely,they could stop the process of reincarnation in just one lifetime...( Chief Justice of India Hiddayatullah , in his "Life & Time of The Great Teacher,Guru Nanak")
The parallel in the Quranic revelation is " from Allah we come,unto Him we shall return " (InnaLillah'Hi Wa'ina'Lillahi Ro'ji'un..). Hence, the imperative of Surrender emanating from Submission... AllahHuAlam - abnizar
