Success...Does It Always Help ???

Deewane Ne Deed Kyun Paayi, Hasrat Dil Di Maar Mukayii...
(Why did the crazy fellow get success, It ruined him of the feel he had to achieve it !)
Then what are we running for ?
Is the fight more enjoying than a possible victory ?
The question remains unanswered !

The Sad Moments...

Heading towards the magnet, there do come many obstacles...

One may be forced by circumstances to sit back and think...Afterall, ups are ups only because of downs...So, one should not be disappointed by the downs and regard them as an indication that ups are coming...This is the normal preaching of intellectual people to have evenness of temper...But sufism takes you to a higher level of spirituality, beparwahi !

Moving On...

Koi rang kala, koi peela, koi laal gulaabi kardaa ;
Bulle Shah rang murshad wala kissey kissey nu chardha !

(Some are getting coloured black, some others yellow, and some are after red pink...But the colour of murshad turns up on a few blessed ones ! )

For:

He himself is the kite, and He himself is the string...

The Bliss...

The abstract outcome of starting to move on the path towards The Magnet is the divine bliss, the intensity of which can't be defined in the words of any worldly language...

In such hypnotic state, the soul on the path of enlightment feels :

ਅਸੀਂ ਹੋ ਗਏ ਆਂ ਦਿਲਦਾਰਾਂ ਦੇ,ਸਾਨੂੰ ਯਾਦ ਸੱਜਣ ਦੀ ਆਈ ਹੋਈ ਏ...

(I solely belong to Him, and I am lost in His memories !)

The Eternal Prayer...

Ibaadat kar ibaadat karan de naal gall bandii ae,
Kisse di ajj bandii ae, kisse di kall bandii ae !

In a nutshell, the first significant milestone is to realise :

I know not by what methods rare, but this I know: He answers prayer !

The Roots of Abstractness...

Firstly as Baba Bulleh Shah (my guide) has suggested...
ਉਹਨੂੰ ਲੱਭਣਾ ਤੇ ਖ਼ੁਦ ਖੋ ਜਾ ਤੂੰ...
(If you want to find Him, be lost yourself !)
So after getting immersed in the sea of purity...The human soul becomes ready to understand HAQ i.e. The Eternal Truth...
In this situation, the bliss begins and I would like to say on behalf of the lost soul :

ਅਸੀਂ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ ਸ਼ਾਹੀ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਦੀ, ਉਹਦੇ ਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਫਕੀਰੀ ਪਾਈ ਹੋਈ ਏ...
(I have left the worldly royalities and have worn the cloak of His faqeeri on my soul !)

And the next vital pre-requisite to understand this abstract beauty is emptyness within !
As the sufi saints say :
ਮੇਰੇ ਵਿਚ ਮੇਰਾ ਕੁਝ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ...
(I have nothing in me that I can call mine !)

The Journey Begins...

Tanhaee Main Fariyaad Tou Kar Saktaa Hun, Viraaney Ko Aabaad Tou Kar Saktaa Hun;
Jab Chahun Tumhe Mil Nahin Saktaa Lekin, Jab Chahun Tumhe Yaad Tou Kar Saktaa Hun…
