O beloved one:
If God were to be found by bathing and washing,
then God would be found by fish and frogs.

If God were to be found by roaming in jungle,
then God would be found by cows and buffaloes.

O Mian Bulleh
God is found by hearts righteous and pure.

You have read a thousand books
but have you read your 'self'?

You rush to mosques and temples
in indecent haste,
have you tried to enter your 'self'?

You are enagged in
needless battle with Shaitan
have you ever fought with your 'nafs'?

You have reached the sky
But have failed to reach
what's in your heart!

Come to my abode, My friend
morning, noon and night!

Destroy the mosque,
destroy the temple
do as you please;
do not break the human heart
for God dwells therein!

I search for You in jungle and wilderness
I have searched far and wide.
Do not torment me thus My Love
morning, noon and night!

Come to my abode, My Love
morning, noon and night!

THANK YOU 
By Oprah Winfrey 
 
I live in the space of thankfulness - and I have
been rewarded a million 
times over for it. I started out giving thanks
for small things, and the  more thankful I became, the more my bounty
increased. 
 
That's because what you focus on expands, and
when you focus on the  goodness in your life, you create more of it.
Opportunities,  relationships, even money flowed my way when I
learned to be grateful no  matter what happened in my life. 
 
"Say thank you!" 

 

Those words from my friend and mentor Maya
 Angelou turned my life around. 

 

 One day about ten years ago, I was sitting in my bathroom with the door 
closed and the toilet lid down, booing and a hooing on the phone so 
uncontrollably that I was incoherent. "Stop it! Stop it right now and 
say thank you!" Maya chided. "But - you don't understand," I sobbed. 
 
To this day, I can't remember what it was that had me so far gone, which 
only proves the point Maya was trying to make. "I do understand," she 
told me. "I want to hear you say it now. Out loud." 
 
'Thank you.'" Tentatively, I repeated it: " Thank
you - but what am I   saying thank you for?" 
 
" You're saying thank you," Maya said, "because your faith is so strong 
that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. 

 

You're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the 
storm, God has put a rainbow in the clouds.

 

You're saying thank you 
because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the 
Creator of all things. 

 

 Say thank you!" 
 
So I did - and still do. Only now I do it every day. I kept a gratitude 
journal, as Sarah Ban Breathnach suggests in

 

Simple Abundance, list at   least five things that I'm grateful for. 
 
My list includes small pleasures: the feel of Kentucky bluegrass under my 
feet (like damp silk); a walk in the woods with all nine of my dogs and my 
cocker spaniel Sophie trying to keep up; cooking fried green tomatoes with 
Stedman and eating them while they're hot; reading a good book and knowing 
another awaits. 
 
My thank-you list also includes things too important to take for granted: 
an "okay" mammogram, friends who love me, 25 years at the same job (and 
loving it more than the first day I started), a chance to share my vision 
for a better life, staying centered, having financial security. 
 
I won't kid you, having money for all the things I want is a blessing. 
But as I look back over my journals, which I've kept since I was 15 years 
old, 99 per cent of what brought me real joy had nothing to do with money. 

 

 (It had a lot to do with food, however.) 
 
It's not easy being grateful all the time. But it's when you feel least 
thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you: 

 

 PERSPECTIVE. 
Just knowing you have that daily list to complete
allows you to look at   your day differently, with an awareness of every
sweet gesture and kind  thought passed your way. When you learn to say
thank you, you see the  world anew. 
 
And as Meister Eckhart so eloquently stated: "If
the only prayer you ever  say in your whole life is 'Thank you God, that
would suffice."

 

1 Everything you need to be happy is inside of you.

2.The purpose of life is for you to grow into the best human being you can be.

3.Change is inevitable, so stop resisting and surrender to life's flow.

4. All obstacles are lessons in disguise-honor them and learn from them.

5. Your mind creates your experience of reality, so make your mind your friend.

6. Fear will steal your aliveness-make your courage bigger than your fear.

7.You must love yourself before you can truly give love or receive love from anyone else.

8. All relationships are your mirrors and all people are your teachers.

9. True freedom comes from how you respond to life and not what life does to you.

10. Whatever the question,love is the answer.

Faiz is a poet of beauty and love. His message is the reign of beauty and love.

Faiz Prays:

Let us too lift our hands,
We who do not remember the customary prayer,
We who do not remember any idol or God except love.

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most importantly,

stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today.
