Once
upon a time there were three men worshipping together in
mutual harmony, praying in submission to Him alone who
has no partner, maintaining great faith in His Unity.
Suddenly, a lightening struck the sky.
Each
one of them started interpreting this lightening as he
desires, and they clashed in opinion; and the
disagreement that resulted lasted for several years,
during which they used to meet and talk but not as they
used to. For, the hearts has grown apart: every one
thought that his opinion is the right one.
A
passerby stopped at their place once, and they welcomed
him in:
He
asked them: What is the problem?
They
replied: What problem? There is no problem.
He
said: don’t you see your faces, what do you worship?
They
replied: One God.
Why
are you together? He asked,
Because we are fellow brothers, they answered.
No, he
said, because your faces speak for you, and your hearts
are not pure.
They
said in one voice: how could you tell?
Evidently, they had thought that each one of them was
hiding his feelings from the other.
So,
the passerby said: how could you be worshiping The One,
yet allowing guile and discontent to rule what you carry
inside towards each other, and however still, you
continue talking to each other, yet not opening up to
one another?!
The
three worshippers grew mystified by this man who is a
mere passerby.
He
then asked: what is the cause of disagreement?
(He
repeated the question Three Times)
They
said in one voice: we can hear you, why did you repeat
the question three times?
He
replied: because you are three, and I am asking each one
of you.
Then
they admitted: it is the lightening, and they went on
explaining what had happened between them, however, once
more each one interpreting as he wishes.
So he
said to them: oh thy worshippers of The One, Lightening
meant that the Sky was going to rain, nothing more than
that.
And,
had it not been of the passerby, they wouldn’t have
realized, or opened up to each other and tried to get
things straight.
As for
you my dear beloved,
Do not
let the illusive matters that occupy the minds of
darkness affect your thoughts.
From
where do cometh flaw and error, from the interference of
thoughts and interpreting them as you desire. Then you
feel weakness and more weakness followed by depression
and shortage of breath and after that frailty… Then
you’ll blame this frustration on the unknown, once more
interpreting… And whence the pressure grows bigger and
bigger, the image shakes, and the power of evil is
permitted in, and so it takes its course and leaves its
imprints.
You
do not need to feel sorry or regretful about something
you did; for, Rightfulness is nourished through
adjusting the grammar of actions. And the secret of life
is revealed to one the more one approaches the truth
which is: being content with reality and why it
happened.
Look
around you: stress – politics – diplomacy – talks –
battles of accumulation – the punishment of time –
events and happenings – being occupied and directing
your soul in accord to the desires and emotions aroused
by such multiplicity, forcing it to live in a gloomy
atmosphere.
Why?
Why
this torture?
Living
in such gloomy atmosphere produces nothing but fear,
terror and panic.
You
say: “this is the world, this is how people are.” You
will never be freed from them, because it is you who are
bringing those to your field.
Despair is a title and Hope is another title...
Frankness is the title of touching upon the matters of
things
Do not allow a matter three lines when it could be
handled with a line and a period, this is in relation to
communication with people.
Leave
politics and diplomacy aside when talking to others,
this way alone you can overcome your weaknesses and
become more insightful about the reality ahead.
Do not
allow the pretentiousness that color your surroundings
to stain your mindset, and do not interpret the
personality of the liar and the pretentious.
For, it is impossible to grasp the language of politics:
discourse and harmony, assault and discord…
Honesty is the name of comfort: it brings closer to you
men of essence, and it sidesteps the people of great
diplomacy, those who disguise the language of evil with
a mask of compassion. For, when you speak truthfully and
uncompromisingly or smile from the heart, those people’s
real character come into view, stripped out of any
mystery.
Let it
be clear unto you then:
Everyone has his Limits, and there is nothing
more holy than helping people understand their limits
through knowing yours and behaving accordingly without
any Behavioral Noise or what is else known as
diplomacy. Your actions take part in drawing the overall
Limits of human experience, and to what point the world
wants to reach with its harmful thoughts.
Communication has a resolving point, and the more you
draw Limits to your discourse with others, the more your
character is strengthened, and the maxim is: no forged
niceness or over-expressive terminology.
A
“Mowahid” follows his intuition about people, and he
has a piercing eye for authenticity. The periods you
spend away from the warmth of home requires the
Strength of a Mowahid, do you hear this: The
Strength of a Mowahid.
And
this strength is begotten through the Power of Will.
Remember this: Peace of Mind and more Peace of Mind, and
avoiding being occupied with every matter (whether small
or big)… Do not be attached to the Image of The Other
and how the other judge you, carry your own image
instead, giving it its rights, otherwise you will run
and run, yet never achieve.
Remember, every person has his own capacity to endure.
For example, if you feed the vine leaves you want from
that to reap better fruits to give to others. But how
could the fruits ripen without proper treatment? Then
you will neither achieve for yourself nor for others.
So, do
not feed your ears and thoughts with the expression
“prudence” or “duty”, because it is the stabbing force
and the hidden door through which entanglements and
other matters of interference creep.
When
man holds on to an image or a thought, he starts
believing the scenarios that he convinces his self to
believe in, and thus, he falls victim to the ideas that
he himself montage.
Let
your thoughts revolve around your own happiness, and
happiness will not come about unless you give into it
your thoughts.
