” I don’t care” : Warning of a Sufi Master

I heard many people saying; “I don’t care!” _

How can anyone who claims to be of humankind say such thing as, “I don’t care?”  It is a sure sign that he is an irresponsible person.

In the days of Ottoman Empire, the greatest of the learned men of the time was asked by some of the people: “Oh our master, can you tell us what the first sign of the arrival of the Last Day will be?

He replied:   “I don’t care.” _The people were aghast, and said: “If you don’t care, then who does?”

But he just repeated the same answer until, exasperated by their incomprehension, he said;_“Don’t you understand what I am saying? You asked me what the first sign of the Resurrection Day (Yaum ul- Qiyamah) will be, and I replied: “‘I don’t care”

”Everyone on that day will come with thoughts only for himself and not caring in the least for others – imprisoned within himself, alone”.

Breaths from Beyond the Curtain

The Lord Almighty, in His kindness, compassion and mercy, may give everyone billions, but He knows well that human beings are never going to be in pleasure when they are given without limits. Therefore, God gives, according to His wisdoms, a little little bit. But man is running to reach more and more, saying, “It is not enough!” Humankind living on this planet are asking for pleasure in their lives, and mostly now people are looking and seeing that pleasure is through riches. They think that if they get richer, there is going to be more pleasure for them, and that is wrong. Their egos are like a thirsty person, thirsty for physical and material desires. They are running to the ocean to take away their thirst but no matter how much salty water they drink, they become even more thirsty.

But when a thirsty person drinks once cup of pure, plain water, that cup is enough to take his thirst away. Our physical being is only for a short time, a very short time, and its perfection is only for keeping our souls in, but it is not a perpetual being.

Yesterday we were nothing. Tomorrow we are going to be nothing. Between two nothings, how are we going to claim “I am here”? Our physical being is going to be dust. But the perfection of our spiritual being, that is something else.

If you reach that perfection, you are most fortunate. Those who took care of their spiritual perfection, should be happy with a new beginning, with a new structure, with a new being. They should reach unknown places that they only heard about before, and their perfection should continue in the afterlife also.

Therefore, the Lord sent, from His Divine Presence, from Heavens, chosen servants adorned with that secret power to arrange the lives of people on earth for reaching their ultimate perfection. Therefore those who are asking for pleasure in their hearts, they understand that they will find it only in the Divine Presence, and the way to the Divine Presence passes through Divine messengers, those who are on the way of God. If you listen to someone whose speech gives your heart, satisfaction, taking darkness away from your heart and your mind, and cleaning your intellect, you can understand that his level is high. If you find such a one hold onto his hand until he takes you to your final destination in the Divine Presence. Read here Free Download

99 Drops from Endless Mercy Oceans

This book is a collection of 99 sohbets or speeches delivered by the Sheikh of the Sufi Order Naqshbandi, Mawlana Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani ar Rabbani . Several themes are discussed, such as Islam, love, truth, spirituality, etc. Only by the light of the Spiritual Path and the mystic way can the Truth be discovered. In order for one to truly witness the Perfection of the Absolute, one must see with one’s inner being, which perceives the whole of Reality. This witnessing happens when one becomes perfect, losing one’s (partial) existence in the Whole. If the Whole is likened to the Ocean, and the part to a drop, the sufi says that witnessing the Ocean with the eye of a drop is impossible. However, when the drop becomes one with the Ocean, it sees the Ocean with the eye of the Ocean . Read Here Free download
