Sufism began some 9 centuries ago and is focused on reaching the divine - the power that created the skies, the earth, us and life as a whole, through love. It means that in Sufism, we human beings are lovers, the divine is beloved and to love the divine, we need to connect back to the essence of life and understand that we and the world are one. Sufism has given the world some of its brightest minds and poets and one of those people is known as Maulana, Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, arguably the best Sufi poet in history. Rumi, a Persian scholar at first, then a Mystic, has written many illustrious poems depicting love and its central role as the bridge to reach the divine; poems that are engraved in the literature books for eternity. His brilliance caught the eyes of people since his childhood. His father, a famous scholar back then, had personally taken the responsibility of teaching him. He deepened his knowledge at a very young age and after the death of his father, he was destined to succeed him as a scholar. But Rumi wanted to learn more, so he connected with another brilliant teacher named Al Tarmithi and a few years later, his teacher left him because he considered that he had nothing left to teach his student, Rumi was now a complete scholar. Rumi was adored by his followers and when he held assemblies, he had a large crowd as attendees. However, life and the divine had other plans for him. In 1244, Rumi encountered Shams Tabrizi, a traveling Sufi dervish who changed his core understanding of life. Rumi became so fond of Shams that he neglected his students and his family and spent days and nights with him, all to grasp the essence of pure love and how to express it to reach the divine. Rumi turned from a Scholar to a Sufi poet who sang for love, danced in circles, which is now called Sufi whirling or the whirling dervish, and wrote poems that are still relevant today continuing to have a deep influence.

Rumi says “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

Sufism is the essence of the skin of Islam, and the essence of Sufism is knowing God, even though the Greatness of God cannot be fully recognized by creatures, no matter how high human knowledge is.

Before exploring Sufism I was familiar with living the life of a monk, meditation, yoga kundalini, & other spiritual processes. But it was only after getting to know Sufism that I found perfection that I did not find in other teachings. How beautiful the understanding we get from Sufi figures such as Uwais al Qarni, Abu Yazid al Bistami, Imam an Nafri, Imam al Ghazali, Suhrawardi al Maqtul, Ibnu Arabi, Jalaluddin Rumi, etc. They teach us that the life of this world is only a drop of water in the boundless ocean of divinity that is contained in the deepest recesses of the heart of a person who realizes the essence.

This is the greatest joy that makes you always excited to live life every second, knowing who you really are, because you are not just a human body, you are the greatest secret of God's reality 🌟

Judgment is not something that can be taken away, only transformed through understanding.

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

A life lesson that I have learned is a life without a passion isn't much of a life. Find your passion and if you can have more than one passion then you will have a fuller life.

I was trying to make these words in practice for a decade, I had so many good times with my lonliness, I enjoyed spending time, reading, being immersed within, exploring the inner world, experience the joy of understanding until a girl I loved deeply years before and we had ended up breaking up, returned to me.
I cannot explain how happy I was that time, as if some shining star lighted with within me after a long period of time. Until that girl belittled my love, the way I saw the world, disgracing my beliefs, misconception of my perspectives and so on ...
I was in a dilemma, what is this world that is being manifested to me? I didn't have the girl for six years, and after these years suddenly she showed up again and is belittling my love towards herself? Being disrespectful of my love, etc? God what are you doing with me?
I decided to break up with her, sent her a message and told her that i got sad because of her blatant words and this is a farewell.
After that, I experienced the most difficult times of my life. As if the shining light within me turned off, quite the opposite of what Rumi experienced.
It took me almost two years to somehow recover from the pain. The pain of the love I've experienced has been so deep that I lost lots of performance in most aspects of my life but i re-found Rumi again. Life is entangled with pain and suffering and there's no scape for that. As Rumi says, the light comes through our wounds.
May God bless us all with Love and endurance of the suffering of life.

"Everyone was made for some particular work and the desire for that work has been put in every heart."(Rumi)
Here is an excerpt from the writings of Marshall Vian Summers on our mission in life.
"You have a mission in life to fulfill, a mission that was given to you before you came here, a mission that you will review once you have left. It involves the reclamation of Knowledge and the proper engagement with others to bring about specific results in the world...
Your duties in the world are small...These duties are important but your mission is greater... Carry out your duties specifically this day regarding your employment and your engagement with others. Do not confuse this with your mission, which is something far greater that you are only now beginning to receive and to experience... As your mission begins to express itself within you who are learning to receive it, it will create a more specific influence upon your duties as well. This is gradual and entirely natural for you. This merely requires that you be self-disciplined, consistent and trusting enough to follow its steps." (MVS, Steps to Knowledge)
