Rumi, Saadi, Hafiz (Poems and Quotes)

tenment and union with the divine. Surrendering to God's will involves complete trust and reliance on God's guidance and providence. The golden rule of SUFISM is: >Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others. What you would avoid suffering yourself seek not to impose upon others. < The 4 principles of SUFISM? Outlining the four principles of REPETANCE, SINCERITY, REMEMBRANCE and LOVE, it traces the fundamental stages and states of the spiritual novice's transformative journey, emphasizing the importance of embracing both human limitations and "God's LIMITLESS LOVE". SUFISM and the MODERN WORLD...

We live in an age when science and technology have brought mankind not only great material advances but also a deep cynicism towards the religious and spiritual aspects of life. On the one hand, the success of the " scientific method" has set limitations on what are considered to be useful and practical fields of study. We are taught to believe that only that which the outer senses can perceive, and which the rational mind can become disillusioned with the various religions' claims that they have access to absolute truth and goodness, when these claims are rarely actualized by experience. Each day passes us by-like a strong wind that makes its way out of high skyscrapers. We humans never tend to stop at any point. When we achieve something, we are off again to pursue another. We are driven by passion. We are driven by hunger. We tend to paint everything in black and white. Success and Failure. Right and Wrong. Whereas we nearly never assess ourselves the scales we weigh others on. The beauty of self-reflection and self-discovery is limited and known only to the very few who tread on that path. Spirituality is distinctively on a farther pedestal for most of us. However, people who do try to study themselves as beyond mere sensory beings, are those who at the end of the road, discover their " true selves ". It is said that knowledge is a virtue. SUFISM also known as Tasawwuf is an 18th century mystical movement of Islam. It is the practice that helps one attain nearness to their spiritual self as well as to Allah. It is a process of making a divine connection with God through personal experience. SUFISM provides for the joy of life. Practitioners of Sufism believe that they can get closer to God through PURIFICATION of the SOUL. A Sufi is a person whose intent, thoughts, words and actions are perfectly aligned. A Sufi is a person complete in themselves. They are self actualized human beings. A Sufi's journey always ends in experience. The SUFI is on a JOURNEY towards finding God who is the ultimate truth/ reality of the universe. Sufis discover the clarity of their path. They embrace VALUES of LOVE, PEACE and KINDNESS and spread THESE VIRTUES around the WORLD. In the humdrum of our materialistic lives, understanding SPIRITUALITY and SUFISM is our chance to discover our TRUE SELVES. It is the path to understand the realities of a mysterious world. A way of life that ignites us to understand LOVE. Not as a transactional process but as a raw and living emotion. A LOVE STATE. SUFISM is not a religion, a method or belief. It is a WAY OF LIFE. It is a PATH to SHEER HAPPINESS .... and SELF AWARENESS. To conclude, the words of RUMI fit almost perfectly:
" Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself. "

Yet human nature is such that questions regarding the deep mysteries of life continue to arise in individuals, and there will always be some for whom the thirst to find answers to these questions is so great that it will not easily be quenched by rationalistic philosophical constructs or by literal readings of religious texts. SUFISM teaches that it is possible for us to see beyond the veils of darkness which enclothe our belief systems. One who sincerely devotes himself or herself a program of Sufi training may eventually approach the state where one can " see the things as they truly are", when one can "worship God as as though you can see Him", and when truly realize that one is" in the world, but not of the world.
