kindness

April 13th, 2009 by Locke in Daily Life, Relationship, Spiritual Journey

When you point

 your finger 

  at someone

 

The other three

   point back

       at you

 

We never think of this

   In our 

    Judgements.

 

The kind man

  doesn’t judge 

    others.

 

He tries to understand

  and help.

 

All the energy that

   goes  into blame,

      Could  go into love.

 

Kindness is our true

   nature -the taproot

      Of our lives.

 

From which comes

  the shade, flowers ,and fruit

   Of the tree


grace and sweetness

April 12th, 2009 by Locke in Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, Daily Life, Relationship, service, Spiritual Journey

There is sweetness in fruit. There is fragrance in flowers. There are trees within seeds. There is taste within water. There are glitters in the earth. There is a shine in gold. Is this not so? There is a treasury of grace and God’s qualities within us. If we can act with these qualities we will attain a life of freedom and peace.

It is such qualities that are satan.

minding the store

April 10th, 2009 by Locke in Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, Daily Life, Jihad, Relationship, Uncategorized

If you try to analyze what others do,if you have suspicions or deceit in your mind,or any ideas about others, if you mind the business of others, your own affairs will all be ruined And what will you have grown within yourself? Your analysis of yourself will not have deepened. It is your analysis of others that will have grown.That is wrong.It will consume the truth and devour your wisdom.It will consume our own growth.This is not good. These actions should never exist within us.
Each person must do his own service. Each person must do his own duty.Each person must have only good thoughts, good qualities, good conduct,good manners,and good behaviour,God’s actions and God’s qualities – this is your wealth. God’s qualities are your angels.They are the qualities that will serve you. God’s actions must be put into practice. God’s love must be our love. This is what heaven is.
