888. . . Eye Remember Hu !
Mystic
Like the cave of LIGHT in the mountains of Mecca
Wise
Like ancient sufi masters that lived on prayer
Timeless
Like the message of Muhammad eternal peace be upon him
Traveler
Like west African muslims that made Hajj on foot
Transcendental
Like a whirling dervish in Turkey high of hashish
Misunderstood
Like a Baye Fall drinking Coffee Touba at noon during Ramadan
Powerful
Like the qasides of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba chanted during the Grand Magal of Touba
Sometimes eye feel like a motherless child
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair
Time never was when SALIHU was not
HE lived between the law of shariat and the ocean of marifat
Walking on the hidden tariqat enraptured by the bliss of haqiqat
Beholding the effulgent Malakut
Receiving downloads from the Jabarut
A light shined from the Lahut that blinded my eye for 20 years
Eye Am just now regaining my sight
All eye can say is
Serigne Salihu Serigne Salihu Serigne Salihu
Ya Salihu
Derijef
No ma nala Mbacke
- Cheikh Sufi
786. . . Let Go and Be Free
786
Attachment is the root cause of all suffering. – Buddah
i was talking to a woodsman in the forest. he said you know
how to catch a raccoon? i said no, so he showed me a hollow log.
he said we put nails around the edge about an inch apart and tin foil inside.
the raccoon will
put his fist in and grab the shinny object.
but then he cant get his hand out with the object.
the ONLY way he can be FREE is if he lets go.
Rat race
not the human race
trapped inside the matrix
chasing the pie in the sky
living a life
based on a lie
why not ask why
stop
think
remove the facade
that u are an individual
climbing up the ladder of
corporate America
only to find out
it was all a dream
who moved my cheese
The dunya(material world), our passions and desires are the “shinny object.” We can not be free unless we LET GO of our attachments. On a moor subtle inner level our mental concepts, false pride, arrogance and illusions of an individual “i” separate from Allah are ALL “shinny objects” that we must let go to be FREE. We all suffer from ignorance of reality as it is, mistaking a rope for a snake. We trap ourselves with our many attachments. We worship false idols/images of God that we created with our own minds. ALL we have to do is LET GO and Be Free.
The five colors confuse the eye
the five sounds dull the ear
the 5 tastes spoil the palate
excess of hunting and chasing
makes minds go mad – Tao Te Ching
Yesterday eye lived bewildered, in illusion. But now eye am AWAKE. Flawless and serene, beyond the world. From my consciousness the body and the world arise. All things are mine/mind, or no-thing is. Now eye have LET GO of desires, body and world. Eye see the Infinite Self. La ee la ha Ill Allah – Allah is the Only Reality!
love and light – sufi
