What is peace? In light of Obama’s recent speech in the mid east M.R.Bawa Muhaiyaddeen offers this wisdom on how each of us sets about to gain this peace.

      ”In order to do this,in order for each of you to do this,you must have these actions.I am begging you.I am humbly begging each child; please have the qualities of God on the path of justice. Please act with patience,inner patience,sabur; Nurture unity among yourselves,and bring peace and tranquilty to each other.Establish the qualities of justice.

       We are one family,with one mother and one father.There is only one God.In this state we exist as the funny family, justice must be evident. Peace must be reached.We must act with the qualities that rule the kingdom of God. We must walk on the path of justice.”

Deep within your innermost being dwells that Almighty One who never diminishes or decreases. Please know this- please look – it is there.

     Search for it carefully and go there as love within love.If you open your eyes and look – it is there.It exists as light within light, as the qualities within the qualities. There is a treasure that is fundamental and eternal. It is wisdom,  it is the ocean of compassion, it is light to all beings in the world who see it. This eternal treasure is love.

The heart of a woman is  similar to a flower.It can very quickly develop a beautiful,loving fragrance.If we carefully pick it and carefully take in the fragrance, it will give us the perfume. But if we pluck it impatiently and crush it in our hands, it will give us the smell of a crushed flower. It will not give us the original fragrance. You must not crush the heart of the woman in your life. You must not crush it or squeeze it.We must touch it with care, pick it with care, and smell the fragrance with care. It is only then that it will benefit you. The heart of a woman is very delicate and tender.

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.

Each evil quality is a satan: jealousy, backbiting, wrath, revenge, anger, self- importance, haste ,vengeance, deceit, treachery, falsehood, theft, arrogance, karma, maya, hatred, miserliness, greed, fanaticism, envy, intoxicants, lust, murder. It is such qualities that are satan.

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.

hear the truth 

and weep.

 

Those ignorant of truth

 listen to 

their mind.

 

We learn the alphabet

so we can read.

 

The teacher knows this;

As children

we follow.

 

Now we are grown

and it’s time

To teach.

 

But,what have we learned

to teach

Our children?

 

All we give them

Is wisdom

Of the world.

 

They give us

Wisdom of 

God.

 

Who then is  teaching?

We need 

A Teacher.

 

Only this one is

Inside our

very Heart.

   is my favorite colour.

The colour of nature

      the colour of growth

           the colour of health.

 

They say it is

  the colour of chlorophyll

 that makes things green.

 

Chlorophyll has so many purposes

  cleaning

   purifying

        nourishing.

 

What is the colour of

 the wise man?

 

What gives him a 

   special fragrance?

 

I once smelled  

   ambrosia

       musk

          and sandalwood

While I sat near him.

 

It was heavenly;

 I remember it well.

 

But he never wore perfume,I knew;

    Then from whence

         did that

            fragrance come?
