Selections from the Mystic Poetry of Lalla of Kashmir

Restless mind, don’t infect the heart with fear. That virus is not for you. The Infinite knows what you hunger for. Ask Him to carry you across.

Some, who have closed their eyes, are wide awake. Some, who look out at the world, are fast asleep. Some who bathe in sacred pools remain dirty. Some are at home in the world but keep their hands clean.

Good or bad, I’m happy to welcome both. I don’t hear with my ears, I don’t see with my eyes. A voice speaks inside my heart, my jewel-lamp burns bright even in a rampaging wind.

Lord! I’ve never known who I really am, or You. I threw my love away on this lousy carcass and never figured it out: You’re me, I’m You. All I ever did was doubt: Who am I? Who are You?

Wrapped up in Yourself, You hid from me. All day I looked for You and when I found You hiding inside me, I ran wild, playing now me, now You.

Don’t flail about like a man wearing a blindfold. Believe me, He’s in here. Come in and see for yourself. You’ll stop hunting for Him all over.

A thousand times at least I asked my Guru to give Nothingness a name. Then I gave up. What name can you give to the source from which all names have sprung?

Who trusts his Master’s word and controls the mind-horse with the reins of wisdom, he shall not die, he shall not be killed.

Those who glow with the light of the Self are freed from life even while they live. But fools add knots by the hundred to the tangled net of the world.

When the dirt was wiped away from my mind’s mirror, people knew me for a lover of God. When I saw Him there, so close to me, He was All, I was nothing.

I trapped my breath in the bellows of my throat: a lamp blazed up inside, showed me who I really was. I crossed the darkness holding fast to that lamp, scattering its light-seeds around me as I went.

Alone, I crossed the Field of Emptiness, dropping my reason and my senses. I stumbled on my own secret there and flowered, a lotus rising from a marsh.

My mind boomed with the sound of Om, my body was a burning coal. Six roads brought me to a seventh, that’s how Lalla reached the Field of Light.

You rule the earth, breathe life into the five elements. All creation throbs with the Unstruck Sound. Immeasurable, who can take Your measure?

He who strikes the Unstruck Sound, calls space his body and emptiness his home, who has neither name nor colour nor family nor form, who, meditating on Himself, is both Source and Sound, is the god who shall mount and ride this horse.

He knows the crown is the temple of Self. His breath is deepened by the Unstruck Sound. He has freed himself from the prison of delusion. He knows he is God, who shall He worship?

Master, leave these palm leaves and birch barks to parrots who recite the name of God in a cage. Good luck, I say, to those who think they’ve read the scriptures. The greatest scripture is the one that’s playing in my head.

What the books taught me, I’ve practiced. What they didn’t teach me, I’ve taught myself. I’ve gone into the forest and wrestled with the lion. I didn’t get this far by teaching one thing and doing another.

I gave myself to Him, body and soul, became a bell that the clear note of Him rang through. Thoughts fixed on Him, I flew through the sky and unlocked the mysteries of heaven and hell.

Wear the robe of wisdom, brand Lalla’s words on your heart, lose yourself in the soul’s light, you too shall be free.

-- I, LALLA The Poems of Lal Ded Translated from the Kashmiri by Ranjit Hoskote

We Rise. we Fall

The seeker treads with cautious, tender grace, For knowing all unveils a sacred space. For in the silence, veiled in wisdom’s shroud, The soul finds solace, humble and endowed. Wait, I hear! Shh… Someone

Sind Awliyah heilige Menschen mit verborgenem Wissen?

Hab ich im Internet gefunden. Mega wenn Leute an so #gurus und #Sekten glauben - hier sind es islamische oder muslimische Sekten die so eine Art #Katholizismus oder #Heiligenverehrung betreiben. Ich finde es zu abgefahren. Interessante Erklärung von diesem Scheich Abdellatif.

Ich glaube dass die Menschen unabhängig von Ihrer Herkunft, Nationalität oder Religion immer dazu neigen dass sie gerne #Verantwortung abgeben wollen. Am besten sagt ihnen jemand, dass er Verantwortung für sie trägt. Obwohl sie es wissen, tut es einfach nur gut vermutlich dass man daran glaubt und man will das auch glauben.

Ehrlich ist anders oder?

Laut dem Koran selber hatte der Prophet Muhammad saws selbst kein verborgenes Wissen das steht ganz deutlich öfters in Versen drin. Die Super Scheichs der einzelnen Sekten können aber viel mehr als er. Sie wissen verborgene Dinge, können Fürsprache bei Allah einlegen sogar wenn sie in den Gräbern verstauben usw. - ist doch wirklich komisch wenn man sowas glaubt? Was meint ihr? bitte um ehrliche Meinungen

Assalamu Alaykum, How do we purify the heart so it becomes a reflection of the Ka'aba?

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem... Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), purifying the heart is essential to make it a reflection of the Ka'bah. The heart is described as the house of the believer, the House of God. Just as the Ka'bah is purified, washed, and circumambulated, so too should the heart be cleansed and sanctified.

To purify the heart, one must engage in Divine remembrance, known as zikr. The zikr of Allah brings sanctity and purity to the heart, making it a suitable abode for the Divine Presence. By purifying the heart, one purifies the iron in the blood, which is essential for spiritual significance.The heart, being the house of God, must be free from impurities such as anger, disbelief, and negative traits.

It should be filled with love and devotion, allowing the Divine Presence to reside within. This purification process involves constant vigilance over the heart, observing and cleansing it from desires and conflicts.Through zikr, praising the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and engaging in spiritual practices, the heart is washed and blessed. It is a continuous effort to make the heart a dwelling place for Allah's Divine Presence. Remember, the heart is the true Ka'bah within you, and by purifying it, you make it a reflection of the Divine House.

May Allah bless you with the strength and determination to purify your heart, making it a radiant reflection of the Ka'bah. May your journey of spiritual purification bring you closer to the Divine Presence and illuminate your path with His light. Ameen..
