Beloved o' mine,arrival of Thine majestic presence in the heart-space
dims all stars, sun and moon
in cosmic-space.
all false pride give away,
all illusions return to nothingness,
my whole body and spirit
starts singing
like a single instrument string.
rising
an indescribable bliss
in the nectar
of my being!
lo! all flowers in my garden
gather at Thine feet, O Beloved.
my eyes remain still,
nothing else in this world are worthy;
amidst my heart-space,
all i see is Glory of Thine Beauty.
O King of the infinite!
in my heart-space
blessed be Thy Presence.

God declares: "Neither My heaven nor My earth could contain Me, but the pristine, humble heart of My believing servants can contain Me." - sacred saying mentioned by Al-Ghazali in Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din.
"Truly, God has vessels from amongst the people of the earth, and the vessels of your Lord are the hearts of His righteous servants, and the most beloved of them to Him are the softest and most tender ones" - in the authority of al-Tabarani, related from Abu 'Utbah al- Khawlani.
The real abode of God is in the heart of man; when it is frozen with bitterness or hatred, the doors of the shrine are closed, the light is hidden. - Hazrat Inayat Khan

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this translation of such a beautiful prayer in song. I have listened to this many times, and I feel the majestic presence arriving in my heart space, and the tears fill my eyes with the beauty of God.
I feel the Oneness of all who gather here to feel the exaltation.
Love, Naomi
my eyes remain still,
'nothing else in this world are worthy;'
my eyes remain still,
'Everything in this world are worty, Everything is mine, I am attached to it and feel responsible for it... I will take whosoever come in my contact in this path, everything,evryone is each others strengh...we all will serve for your for our cause, we will serve your creation, 'O' creator we are dedicatedly yours, don't feel alone...when we are different, we all are yours....and u are ours...
all i see is Glory of Thine Beauty everywhere.....
Hello Sadiq, many thanks for this simple heartfelt enunciation of the experience of self-annihilating, humbling, shaming bliss of the blessing of Grace, in the Almighty's embrace... rama
Greetings of Peace to all!
Naomi,
It seems, the more the inspirations come from the depth, the more it attain ability to touch the heart. Although in a foreign language, but the song and its words did touch others too, as i got similar feedback. Its amazing how heart-matters can transcend language barrier.
Subha,
"beyond the idea of right and wrong, there is a field. we shall meet there." - Rumi.
Similarly, beyond everything's worthiness and non-worthinesss - there is a place. when the heart-longing reaches there, then language forms also doesn't really matter.
when Glory of Beauty is everywhere, framing everything worthy and not-worthy is just a matter of language.
Nila-Kantha,
So good to hear from you dear favorite mystic. i hope your work and life continue to be blessed, always.
beyond the idea of right and wrong,
What is wrong?? What is right, how to define ?? I am thankfull for whatever happened with me, whatever u did with me .... sometimes it guided, sometimes it supported, sometimes it left alone to be strong :-)
there is a field.
Where is the field, if its not here, where it is?? why I will believe I have to go to some other field when I see the beloved ever present everywhere !! Where the Rama, Siva,Buddha,Jesus, Muhammed and Sai has gone?? If they have gone how I am feeling them here ??
I WILL NEVER LEAVE MY MOTHER EARTH AT ANY COST,HER HAPPINESS, HER PAIN ALL ARE MINE....I WILL COME BIRTH AFTER BIRTH TO SLEEP IN HER LAP...AND TO BE HER SUPPORT...
we shall meet there." - Rumi.
Yep we have to meet, I will be there and u will be near and thats the deal dear sweet brother :-)

Hmm I am planning to let my silence speak...let my heart speak...
Heart is common everywhere...
Laguages are differering to create confusion...
People are not even undersatnding that,
Ishwar=Allah=GOD...
Maa=Ammi=Mother...
Jal = Pani =Water !!!
What to do....
Best policy to be silent... let the heart speak, let the soul speak :-)
I know Adi u r talking abt the state where, u go beyond the daily life sorrows , temporary happiness and pain, keeping constant eye towards the goal to explore the self, the origin, the originator...
But I am talking about putting the things in word...
When someone writes, they went to that place, the sincere believer pick it up very easily that its going to a hell or heaven kind of place...
And practices start to go to that place , leaving and hurting this life and lives...
U saw Annie right, who thinks going to Church is the only way to go to heaven... Its a sin to think abt the temples or masjids !!!
What makes the interpretations like this, and is it not the responsibilty of the guides to explain it ??
Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you, Sadiq.

Blessed & Beloved One,
So often when I read the wondrous and sublime words that pass through your (and also Naomi's) heart, I feel so moved, so very deeply touched, that I am simply rendered unable to convey the depth of my appreciation and gratitude accordingly - as I find is the case yet once again now.
So please do not misunderstand my silence. For if you listen with your heart, you will indeed know that it is filled with a love therein relayed.
Cailean x
M. Whitehouse,
Grateful for your beautiful comment.
Dear ancient friend, Cailean,
Silence is the space filled between Grace. For the mystics, silence is never a problem. :)
You know something interesting! John O'Donohue's words, "Bless the space between us" never leaves me.
Namaste to you dear one. I hope everything is beautiful and fine in your space-time.
beautiful.......buker bhetor ta bhorey gelo ....
Salaam aleykum brother - author of this blog.
I haven't looked through the whole blog yet, but I like the images you use in your posts. Above, the infinite breath of Allah, the mother of Fire and Water, Jinn and Men, Pistis and Gnosis.
This is reality, unity within duality.
At the Golden Ratio (Siraat) of Gnosis (علم) and Pistis (امان), the Mind and the Heart, there lies the realization of the breath of Allah (holy spirit as the Christians say, or in Greek, Haghion Pnevma (Άγιον Πνεύμα), pnevma deriving from the Greek word pneo, which means to breathe).
ARRIVAL OF MAJESTIC PRESENCE...
That is a beautifull prose by you Sidi Sadiq, and when that happens by His Majesty's Grace, the mystical encounter is " unveilled "
Is'nt that the " Heavenly Bliss" - a glimpse of Eternal Hereafter, graced Herein-Now for His Elect !
SubhanAllah, may God bless
