Love For Almighty

O heart, what excuses have you given for all these faults? Loyalties come from him; from you, all these troubles. Kindness comes from him, from you, all this nonsense. Favours come from him; from you, these mistakes. Benevolence, goodness, gifts come from him; from you, this jealousy, these bad thoughts and surmises. Why so many favours? So your bitter soul can become better and sweeter. Why is he pulling you to himself? So you can reach the ones who have attained the truth. The moment you repent your faults and start calling him, that's the moment he pulls you to himself and gets you out of trouble. When you're afraid of the sin you've committed, of asking for his help to get out of it, then, right then, why don't you see the one who scares you inside of yourself? In his hands you are like a small crystal ball. He rolls you, then covers you and throws you in the air just to be amused. Sometimes he leaves you to your own nature, the way you were born. You fall in love with gold, silver and the love of women. But sometimes he shines on you with the light of Mustafa Sallaho Alayhe Wasallam, so that you'll be illuminated. When he pulls you this way, you join with good people.  When he pulls you that way, you mix with bad people. He either passes your ship through this turbulence or breaks and wrecks it. Pray, pray secretly, cry, moan and groan so much through the night that a voice will come to your ear from the seven layers of sky.

                At last at dawn, a voice came to Shuayb alayhe salam’s ear after he yelled and cried and cried and shed tears like the dew. "I’ll pardon you if you're guilty, forgive your sins. If you want the heaven i give you, stop this praying and be silent." Shuayb alayhe salam said, "I don't want this or that. Clearly, i want to see the beauty of god. To reach him, even if the seven seas become fire, i will plunge in and pass through them. "If you expel me from your temple, deprive me of that beauty, if my wet eyes don't see that beauty, i might as well stay in hell. Heaven is not for me." "At least, don't cry so much," they said. "When you cry so much, your eyes lose their sight." "If, at the end, both my eyes see him, why should i worry about becoming blind? My every particle will turn into eyes. "If my eyes are deprived of seeing him, if they don't deserve the beloved, let them become blind." in this world, everyone gives life for his own beloved. One beloved is a bag of blood, the other is sunlight. Since everyone chooses a beloved, good or bad, isn't it sad for us. To become nothing for nothing?

              One day on the road someone became a companion to Hazrat Bayazid. Bayazid asked, "O bad man, what do you do?" the man said, "I ride a donkey. I've become a slave to the donkey." Hazrat Bayazid said, "Go away," then said, "my god, kill this man's' donkey so that he can become a slave to god.”
