A special message for Jahane Rumi
Sometimes I am most touched by such messages concerning my blog. I am posting this message not because I want to beat my own drum but to share the beauty of this email and how Sufism connects the world and humans estranged from each other:
Subject: The Birth of the Spirit out of the Agonies and Yearnings of the Flesh
“You have no idea how hard I’ve looked for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right. What’s the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean. Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It’s no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So- I’ve brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me!”Salaam, Peace & Blessings Dear Brother,
My name is Felix and I’m from Israel. My journey brought me to Sufism some many years ago, as a direct result of my interest in Dervishes, Sadhus and Wandering Mystics. As a Humanist, I was amazed to find out how rich and infinite the spirit of Sufism is…
Life is not easy where I am right now. The middle-east is burning in fire of hatred and disillusions. But - One day, this dark age will be over & I truthfully hope to see the world become a much better place to raise our children based on values of Love, Respect and Brotherhood.
I’ve found your outstanding blog + photographs on the web the other day, and would like to kindly thank you for your priceless & beautiful deeds. Wonderful & Kindhearted people like you give me great hope for a much better & brighter future for humanity.
Your journey is an inspiration - may peace, love and light be upon you.
While our background is very different, I humbly feel as if we are all interconnected - we are all brothers, come what may - the whole world is connected through an infinite life line. The human spirit is eternal.
“We are the flute, our music is all Yours;
Your wind invisible sweeps us through the world”Sincerely & Respectfully Yours.
“Human beings are like the three moths before a candle flame. the first approaches and says Myself, I know love The second brushes the flame with its wings and says Myself, I know the burning of love The third throws itself into the Heart of the flame and is consumed. It alone knows true love!”

Tum to doobey ho sanam,

I just read the following couplet the other day. It is from the Guru Granthh Sahib. Since the subject is related, let me share it with you and your readers. The author could very well be Baba Farid, though I am not sure of that at present.
Derveisi ko jaansi virlaa kou derveis
Jo ghar-ghar hanDDai mangdaa, dhrig jeevan dhrig veis

Indeed your jahan is an awesome place. To me, jahan is gosha-e-aafiyat! I have always found a strange kind of peace and bliss here. Each post is beautiful. The overall effect is absolutely refreshing and pleasing. God bless you for touching so many lives. You may not have an idea what a wonderful companion jahan has been to me…specially in moments of despair. Thank you once again
