But listen to me.
For one moment
quit being sad.
Hear blessings
dropping their blossoms
around you.
~ Jalal ad-din Rumi
-Translated by Coleman Barks.
Brothers in God
Know, my picture,
that you carry
the face of your God,
and from this face
you carry many deep things.
that you carry
the face of your God,
and from this face
you carry many deep things.
If He wants to show you His face,
you need to give everything
for this truth
because when you give,
you give to His face.
In this face,
you sometimes see the beauty
and sometimes the severity.
Although He shows you everything
through these two faces,
there is no difference between them.
O my God,
help me to carry and
to give Your message to everyone.
Help me to not lose
any minute of Your time
and to be only with You.
~ Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal ar-Rafa’i ash-Shadhuli
