Daniel Abdal Hayy Moore once expressed: "the province of poetry is a private ecstasy made public."On the idea of "Knocking from Inside" Rumi says (translated...
Story of Wisdom from Sufi Master Bawa Muhaiyaddeen | Acknowledging the Real
2008-07-01 09:12:00 1.There was a wise man, a great Sufi gnäni (gnostic) who had attained an exalted state. But one day the thought came to him, "Whatever may happen to anyone, I will protect them. I will help them."Now for many years satan had tried to trip him up but never succeeded. However, the day this thought entered the gnäni's mind, satan saw his opportunity and rejoiced, "Oh ho! Now I can finally get this man." So satan clapped his hands and called for his companions.All the satans gathered in readiness. "Why did you call us? What do you want us to do?""This is our chance to catch one of our enemies, a Sufi's gnäni named Ahamad. I want you to change into a snake with fangs containing a very potent poison made from all eight kinds of evil poisons from the eight directions. With this poison in your fangs you must go to the Sufi's gnäni and say, 'O Ahamad Kabïr, I am in danger. Protect me, take care of me.'"He will tell you, 'I will take care of you. I will protect you.'"Then say to him, ...

2008-06-12 15:58:00 This true story is from my guide Sidi mentioned in his eloquent book, Music of the Soul. Sidi's full name is Muhammad Sa'id al-Jamal ar-Rifai as-Shadhuli.

The Good Deed - A Short short Sufi Parable
2008-05-03 07:52:00 Kindness | Help | Love | Divine | Inspirational |A VILLAGE CHIEF saw a man take a thorn out of the foot of anorphan.That night he dreamed of the man,sauntering with pleasure inthe gardens of paradise and saying:`Look how many roses blossomed from that thorn!'Really a short story with great teaching. The essence of religious mind. To help others get out of pain is one of the most important aspect of religiousness or spiritual growth. I see this story as symbolic. A village chief symbolizes man with power, influence, affluence which most of us human beings strives for.Bestowed with such comfort of mind and body, he sees an orphan symbolic of a person in need and devoid of physical and mental comforts. With a thorn in foot, implying that the person is in pain. Taking out the thorn from the foot from the orphan, implying bringing relief to a unknown person in distress and pain, a mark of the highest form of Love.Many roses blooming from a thorn implies good deeds bloo...

The Sheikh was asked how many dervish members he has and the reply was only one dervish, and the master himself.The authority found it odd, yet an old rundown building was available and given to them. The Sheikh with one dervish accepted it with open heart.Very soon there was enormous light coming from within the building, sound of dhikr could be heart every night and crowds would attend.The governing authorities wanted to know what this man was doing to draw so many people to him and what was this light that was reported coming from the old building. So the Sheikh was summoned.The officials said, "We are the educated ones and we want to question you to make sure you are doing things correctly."- "All right", was the humble answer."What is the meaning of la ilaha illa Allah?" they asked.- "Do you want the meaning as you understand it, or do you want the...
Sufi Qawwali at UCLA Royce Hall | Mehr Ali and Sher Ali
2008-04-27 02:26:00 Couple of nights back (24, April, 08) came an unanticipated opportunity to watch and listen to two of great contemporary pakistani sufi Qawwali singers at famous UCLA Royce Hall. The concert was titled, Qawwali Music of Pakistan: Sufi devotional music.Among the audience was both americans and sub-continental audience. What was striking, is Qawwali's ability to transcend language with its sheer power and captivating devotion. The nature of improvisation makes each Qawwali, even if its sung by the same group of singers, very unique and every new listening is a new experience.Sometime the depth of the verses, fused with the presentation takes audience to an otherly high which was felt last night too. At times there were goosebumps and surges with the strong emotion that is created in Qawwali performance. The Sufi Qawwalis are considered as zikr or Divine remembrance if listened with spiritual understanding and depth.:: What is Sufi Qawwali? | Qawwali is derived from the Arabic word q...

'India is seeing a revival of Sufi music as a buffer against the troubled t
2008-04-06 12:15:00 From India connects with Sufi music after nearly 200 years : "Bulla, I know not, who I amNot a believer inside the mosque,Nor a pagan disciple of fake ritesNot the pure among the impure…Neither fire, nor from air is my birth" These secular lyrics penned by Sufi mystic Baba Bulleh Shah in the 17th century and set to music by a folk singer on his acoustic guitar had the young and the old - Hindus, Muslims and people of other faiths - rocking in India. Rabbi Shergill was not the only one. Several contemporary Indian musicians have been travelling back in time to cull influences from Sufi music - a legacy bequeathed by 13th century poet-saint Jalaluddin Muhammed Rumi, the founder of the cult of the "whirling dervishes", the first-generation Sufi minstrels. These "spiritual rebels" sought to commune with god through their poetry, music and dance; instead of throughdogmatic religion. As the politics of violence gather force everywhere in the world, India is seeing a ...

His friends sadly shook their heads. `The only thing left now, 'they said ,`is either to recite the Koran through from beginning to end, or make a sacrifice. Then God may have pity.' The rich man considered. `It will have to be the Koran, then,' he said, `for it is near at hand. My wealth is all in my folks which are some distance away; by the time a sacrifice could be arranged it would be too late.' A passing holy man commented: `The Koran is near to him, certainly, being on the tip his tongue. But his gold is nearer, being in his heart.'"Kindly put your comments on these Parables."

Inside, all was narrow, oppressive and dark.I shrank back in fear and confusion.In that sad state I seemed to hear the voice of my beloved son:`Father, are you afraid of this dark place? Be wise then and bring your own light in with you. Do you wish the night of the grave to be as day? Out there in the world, then, kindle a lamp of good deeds.'

Muraqaba | sufi meditation beyond time and space
2008-03-08 20:15:00 In sufi tradition, Muraqaba (Gnosis of Self) is the name of that contemplation through which man is able to gain the knowledge which is the primordial knowledge of his Ego, Self, or Soul.It appears that the person performing Muraqaba is simply sitting in a pose with his or her eyes closed. However, merely shutting the eyes and assuming a specific pose does not serve the purpose. Muraqaba is in fact an angle of perception through which the person doing the Muraqaba frees himself or herself from outward senses and begins their journey in the inward senses.Now we are going to look into whether or not the Muraqaba-like conditions or states exist in us, without adopting the specific pose of Muraqaba.Freedom from outward senses happens in our daily life, both involuntarily and voluntarily. For example, we go to sleep and while sleeping our brain disconnects from outward senses. It is true that this disconnection is temporary however; this condition could not be termed as anything but disc...

Mulla joined the sport and took the first shot, which fell short. The crowd started laughing and the Mulla said: ''This is what happens when you live with an inferiority complex. You cannot reach the target because your heart is not wholly in it.'' The next arrow surpassed the target but Mulla turned to say: ''This is what happens to a man who thinks very highly of himself. He runs so fast that he bypasses the goal.'' Now Mulla shot the third arrow, hitting the target accurately and he said: ''This is me!''if we leave God out of it | Our Mullah Nasruddin took all his savings and went to buy a shirt.

2008-03-01 09:05:00 Shrines (also known as Dargah, Tomb, Mazar or Maqam) of highly evolved noble souls, spiritually enlightened ones and saints of God are place of Baraka or special spiritual blessings. They symbolize not only the memorializing of an insan kamil of past, but also become a sacred center of pious visitation or pilgrimage (ziyara).

Such places have become specially charged."Yousef W. Meri writes: "Historically, holy men and women - those revered for their exemplary piety or learning or both - have been memorialized in many forms throughout the Islamic world in North Africa and Andalusia to the sub-continent and Southeast Asia from the first century of Islam to today.Some examples of sacred centers of ziyara inclu...
