The soul has been given its own ears to hear things mind does not understand.
You must ask for what you really want.
O Seeker, pain and suffering make one aware of God.
Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you... This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.
Say Bismillah, In the name of God, as the shaykh does with a knife when he offers an animal. Bismillah your old self to find your real name. - Jalaluddin al
