Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? - Rumi...and no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven - Jesus...may you have the right view and intentions, may your speech, actions and livelihood be right and in your mental discipline, may you have the right effort, mindfulness and concentration - Nobel Eightfold Path

There are three ways of knowing a thing. Take for instance a flame. One can be told of the flame, one can see the flame with his own eyes and finally one can reach out and be burned by it. In this way, we Sufis seek to be burned by God.

A man exists and in that existence man defines himself and the world in his own subjectivity and wanders between choice, freedom and existential angst.

I will stop somewhere and wait for you...then we shall travel together
