They
that yearn for the abode of the Beloved, they that circle round the
sanctuary of the Desired One, are not apprehensive of trials and
adversities, nor do they flee away from that which is ordained by God.
They receive their portion from the ocean of resignation and drink their
fill from the soft-flowing stream of His mercy. They would not
surrender the good-pleasure of the Friend in exchange for the kingdom of
both worlds, nor would they barter that which the Well-Beloved hath
decreed in return for dominion over the realms of the infinite. They
would eagerly drink the venom of woe as if it were the water of life and
would drain deadly poison to its bitter dregs just as a sweet and
life-giving draught. In the arid wastes of desolation they are stirred
with enthusiasm through the remembrance of the Friend, and in the dreary
wilds of adversity they are eager and impatient to offer themselves as a
sacrifice. Unhesitatingly have they renounced their lives and directed their steps towards the abode of the Best Beloved. They have closed their eyes to the world and fixed their gaze upon the beauteous countenance of the Friend, cherishing no desire but the presence of the loved One and seeking no attainment save reunion with Him. They fly with the feathers of trust in God, and soar with the wings of adherence unto His Will. In their estimation a blood-shedding blade is more desirable than finest silk and a piercing dart more acceptable than mother's milk.

O SON OF SPIRIT!
ReplyDeleteThe best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes.

Many been killed and lost their likelihoods, for bunch of fat cats to preach others of how good it could have been iff's (this & thats) that never came or will come to fruition? why because of corruptions, cover-ups through abidance!.
