I am not with the capable, nor the exemplary
I am with my brothers, who like me are destitute,
morally exhausted
sick of it all, our own mediocrity
and the endless treadmill of anxiety
of how we appear.
To dismiss us would be a loss.
Under this mud of anonymity lies a secret
that permits all things to stand out
and all things are magnificent,
delightful,
intoxicating.
- Shaykh Ebrahim Schuitema

I am also tired.
First, I created my own inner enemy in the pain of having leave the light that we are, when I had to create outer duality which also became enemies, as in religion must be defended, is that I have the best faith and people are wrong. to know that everything merely creates separation and pain in my soul began the journey to escape all these glories and competition on earth. First, say goodbye to the inner pain that shuts your heart as to the external authority that reflects the need for external validation, then release it as blocking the way. Sufi also think that my faith is best which makes veils. When all were gone, as were all the veils away, for Allah can not be limited to the ink or words. give everything away to get everything. veil is all that complicated we have made in our thoughts, about the distance to the uncreated light that is living love. I dislike gold, Allah gave me the gold. I dislike rich people, God gave me a country with great wealth. Everything I hate is met with, to learn humility, Allah gives me the good things in whatever form it comes.
