praise

November 26th, 2008 by Locke in Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, Daily Life, Spiritual Journey

When the world praises you,hell laughs in glee.When the world opposes you,hell cries in sorrow,”O my God,we are losing one of our people.

a firm plan

November 25th, 2008 by Locke in Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, Daily Life, Spiritual Journey

The life of one who has no determination,

Of one who acts without a firm plan,

Is like a pond without a shore.

Though there is water in plenty, 

It flows away,

Rendering that life worthless.

 

   M.R.Bawa Muhaiyaddeen


Duty

November 23rd, 2008 by Locke in Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, Daily Life, Spiritual Journey, service

 Perform your duty to all lives

Without favoritism

And it will become the duty that God performs

Towards all His creations.

Act without expecting a reward

And you will receive the rewards of God.

the tail

November 22nd, 2008 by Locke in Daily Life, Humor, Spiritual Journey

I watched my dog once

 chasing his tail

in a circle

 

He was very 

earnest.

 

Even if I had told him

it was a 

mistake

 

He wouldn’t have stopped.

 

Around and around I go

My tail changes

colour and form.

 

One minute it’s a book,

the next a woman,

then a gem.

 

If I give my dog 

something tasty

he might stop.

 

What prize

would make me stop running

and bring me home?
