[derakhtesokoot]

به حلاوت بخورم زهر که شاهد ساقیست

به ارادت ببرم درد که درمان هم از اوست

زخم خونینم اگر به نشود به باشد

خنک آن زخم که هر لحظه مرا مرهم از اوست

غم و شادی بر عارف چه تفاوت دارد

ساقیا باده بده شادی آن کاین غم از اوست

[derakhtesokoot]

در دایره‌ی قسمت ما نقطه‌ی تسلیمیم

لطف آنچه تو اندیشی حکم آنچه تو فرمایی

[derakhtesokoot]

چون خدا با تو است در شب و روز

بعد از این از خدا بیاموز

[derakhtesokoot]

وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجعَل لَهُ مَخرَجًا وَيَرزُقهُ مِن حَيثُ لا يَحتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّل عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بالِغُ أَمرِهِ “...and whosoever is mindful of God, He will always make for them a way out of difficulty, providing for them from sources they never could imagine; and whoever trusts in God, He is sufficient for them, for God will certainly carry through what He Wills.”

— Qur'ān, 65:2-3

[derakhtesokoot]

“...in that very moment when you see with horror that despite all your efforts, you not only have not come nearer your goal but seem to have gotten farther from it, at that very moment—I predict this to you—you will suddenly reach your goal and will clearly behold over you the wonder-working power of the Lord, who all the while has been loving you, and all the while has been mysteriously guiding you.”

— The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky

Into great silence

[derakhtesokoot]

O Thou with Whom we always take refuge in our need, once again we have missed the Way.

— Rumi, Mathnawi, Vol. 1

[derakhtesokoot]

"Always trust yourself and your own feeling, as opposed to argumentations, discussions, or introductions of that sort; if it turns out that you are wrong, then the natural growth of your inner life will eventually guide you to other insights. Allow your judgments their own silent, undisturbed development, which, like all progress, must come from deep within and cannot be forced or hastened. Everything is gestation and then birthing." Letters to a Young Poet, R.M. Rilke

“the world is as if it has never been and the hereafter is as if it has always been. peace.”

O beloved God, how many grievances weaken my heart, how little means I have to handle them on my own. I lay my burdens before You, and complain of my ache to You alone, for my desire is for You and You alone. — Imam Husayn (a)

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
