once deep in my thoughts
i discovered myself in an ocean faraway and alone
i saw a perfect human close to me with a merciful look
he asked me slowly "why r u so sad ?"
i replied
i have worries
he said
"perhaps i can help out"
i said
i am seeking "reality"
he said "immerse into yourself, you'd find it's in your heart"
but how ?
"shedding awayyour worries, and
make your intention pure,
the reality will shine in your heart"
i inquried:
how can i be certain it is the reality that is shining ?
he replied:
"when u r there,
u would see the awlia (beloved once) and the prophets all on haq (righteouness)
with out dividing them in religions,
which shows u have step up to the leavel of self-recognition"
self-recognition ?
at the lavel of self-recongnition,
u know
where did u come from,
why did u come to this world,
what u need to do here,
where r u heading to"
i said:
i don't know where to go from here ?
he said
"we r supposed toi be doing our duties
doing good to others, trying to be true humans"
true humans ?
"verily, indeed a sincere, good dore and well wisher person
will be happy with the happiness of others,
will feel sad with there sadness
and will seek to help them"
but how ?
be to others how u want them ton be to u
what u dislike for yourself,
dislike for them too"
i said:
saying so is easy.........
he continued:
......but doing so is hard"
i said
ups and downs of life,
sometimes upsets me,
still not sure i could make it to
the saadat (eternal success) one day....
he said
"on the path of reality, true saadat is getting back
to the point of eteranal origin"
point of eteranal origin ?
getting back to where , we came from
but more wisely and mercifully"
i pondered....
how come you know all that ?
he smilied and replied:
"age-long researchand experience"
thank you....
i am feeling better now....
however i might have other questions,
can we meet again ?
he put his hand over my shoulder
smiling with mercy
"i am available
when you need me"
