Do not live your life
by trusting in the world
The world will surely deceive you.
Try with wisdom to catch
and tie up the wandering mind
And you will know the explanation
of the unique birth of man.

Do not live your life
by trusting in the world
The world will surely deceive you.
Try with wisdom to catch
and tie up the wandering mind
And you will know the explanation
of the unique birth of man.

If you have true love,compassionate love; with that clear love, devoid of selfishness, anger or arrogance, you will be pure. That love is selfless and knows no partiality. If your whole life is filled with that love for all then all lives will be overcome by it and will bow down to you.
M.R.Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
If a man develops patience, tolerance, peacefulness, and the inner patience, contentment, trust in God, and praise of God; if he develops the four higher levels of consciousness: judgement, subtle wisdom, divine analytic wisdom, and divine luminous wisdom; if he develops virtues, and good conduct, and the qualities of compassion, love and justice; if he realizes that all lives are his life, and all suffering is his suffering, all health is his health, all hunger is his hunger, and all difficulties are his own difficulties; if he can establish that state and those qualities – at that point of realization will be transformed. He will be reborn from this physical state into another state. He will have understood the reason for his coming to earth and he will have found the peace that passeth all understanding.

O man you must think.We came from God,from the world of the soul.When we came here we did not bring anything with us other than God; and when we go back we can take only with us only God. We came here to know God and his history. All else must be left behind, and you must be ready to leave on the ship the moment it arrives. Do not pack the burdens of desire and sin to take with you. Be ready to take only what you brought with you.
The journey of those who dally here, trusting the world and packing worldly things,will take them to hell. Whereas one who is ready to go at any time, taking with him only God who is the weightless treasure which he brought with him to this world, will go to heaven. He is a wise man.
