Sufi Said

One Sufi said I AM
and was killed for it
one psychologist said about 
God
"I don't believe, I know"
And was praised for it
yet both were uttering the 
same meaning 
it is not just about formal 
dogma such as Salat or
prayer 
Those are of course fine
and a must
but going through ife 
with just that is just 
walking for the sake of 
walking 
you don't stop enjoying the 
things around you
The Natural 
                Beauty of it 
                           All
STOP

smell the bed of roses 
hear the sound of the birds 
singing a song just for you 
feel the soft wet grass 
between your dry toes 
soak in the sunlight 
that is what Jung and Hajji 
were trying to say 
Don't just worship God
try to know him
sit by yourself and just 
communicate, think, feel
God
that is the ultimate experience 
which so many of us
seem to forget 
so that the thought is
reduced to memory 
stop taking things like that
for granted. 
It may be your only 
chance to shine.
