If you seek the good in every soul, you will always find it, for God is in all things; still more God is in all beings.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We must learn to see the beauty. It is not everyone who sees it, often the critical spirit is occupied in gazing at the object which lacks beauty, the more you look for beauty, the more you see it as a whole. It is seeing the vision in part that deludes, you look at the side of a person’s nature that may not be attractive, but if you will seek for good in everything, you will always find it, for God is in all things, and still more God is in all beings.<\/p>\n

( from Unpublished Papers from the Nekbakht Foundation Archives: Cupid and Psyche, May 5th 1921<\/a> )<\/p>\n

One day I was walking in a city and met a dervish with a wonderful personality. He was dressed in a patched robe, but his speech, his voice, his thought, his movement, his atmosphere, were all most winning. At that time I was very young in the pursuit of philosophy. Youth is a time when pride has full play. So as we were walking along, and he called me ‘Murshid’, I was very glad. He addressed me as Murshid every time he spoke to me! Presently we met another person, who seemed to be without any education, without any knowledge of philosophy or religion or anything out of the way, but he called him ‘Murshid’ too. My pride was hurt, especially when next he came across a policeman whom he also called ‘Murshid’. So then I asked my teacher what could be the meaning of all this, and he said, ‘Your dervish showed you the first step towards recognizing God: to recognize all beings as your teacher. A foolish person can teach you, a wise person, a learned person, a student, a pious or wicked person, even a little child; everyone can teach you something. Therefore have this attitude towards everybody, then it may be said that you recognize God.’<\/p>\n

Commentary by Murshid S.A.M. (Sufi Ahmed Murad)
\nSamuel L. Lewis<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The “thingness” in things is that which holds the particles together into a unity. And what is this? It is cohesion, in other words, love. And what is it that keeps beings as beings? It is also a form of cohesion which, while sometimes called life, is really Ishk<\/i>. Without Ishk<\/i> there could be no form, no entities — not even thoughts — for there would be no coherence, only Chaos. And what is Ishk<\/i>? It is the essential quality which characterizes the personality of God, so that God is not only emptiness but also absolute fullness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
