"In the dead of night, a Sufi began to weep. He said, "This world is like a closed coffin, in which We are shut and in which, through our ignorance, We spend our lives in folly and desolation. When Death comes to open the lid of the coffin, Each one who has wings will fly off to Eternity, But those without will remain locked in the coffin. So, my friends, before the lid of this coffin is taken off, Do all you can to become a bird of the Way to God; Do all you can to develop your wings and your feathers."
I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there; I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere.
I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Kaaba in Mecca, but He was not there either.
I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond their understanding.
I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him : He was nowhere else to be found. - Rumi
What if you looked into your heart and still couldn't find him, where else do you look? or do you just stop looking?
"Someday I'll wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow way up high..."
"He who has faith will never get lost,...He who is at peace won't lost his way."
"So, what happened to the prince? The prince contemplated his soul so much that he left the visible world for the invisible one."
But where is this gathering? - I don't know, my little angel. But do the others know? - No, they don't know either. How can you go to a gathering without knowing where it is? - It suffices to walk, just walk. Those who are invited will find the way.
