perception

Yaa ayuhannas antum-ul fuqaro’

Ilallahi wallahu huwa ghaniyul hamiid

The richness and glory in the realm of duality

are merely constructs of fleeting perception

True wealth is something that can be brought beyond death,

which for the few may encounter transcendance

Absolute reality is larger than perception,

which manifests from one's state

One's perception confines one's own reality

What one sees reflects one's state

dream

Change at the shell is merely an illusion

Whereby the true evolution is at the kernel

If one remains in duality,

the path will only become a prison

Like a dream in which one experiences awakefulness,

Yet one is not evolving

The self (always) needs something to stand on,

only to dream pure illusion

the dance

the dance of life equlibrates
according to power balance

the lower order challenges,
the higher order prevails


those who are pure and maintain istiqamah
will survive and ultimately win through


earth, fire, water and the wind,
nothing is superior to the noor of Allah

the traveler evolves from one level to another,
bounded (only) by its own capacity and allottment

when transcendance has occurred,
new expansion and challenges arise

qad aflaha man tazakka;

qad aflahal mu'minuun,
alladziina hum fii shalatihim khaasyi'uun
wal ladziina hum 'anil laghwi mu'ridhuun
wal ladziina hum liz zakaati faa'iluun

near & far

what seems far is in reality very near,
what seems near is in reality very far

those who deny will not achieve,
those who do not achieve will only dwell in duality

the dynamics at the shell are merely illusions,
those who progress at the kernel are among the privileged

kullu man alaiha faan
wa yabqoo wajhu robbika dzul jalaali wal ikraam
