Blessed Mother

“ ‘Behold (O Mary!)' The Angel said, ‘God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Anointed, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the hereafter, and one of those brought near to God..."

Baba Rexheb's Wise Words

"We go but the path remains"

[Baba Rexheb]

Kept Apart

Sun light from the Earth

A wave from the shore

Wind from the trees

Love from each other

Light from your heart

Water from your lips

Heat from your hands

A kiss from your Love

Darkness blinds the inhabitants

Thirst consumes life

Cold destroys comfort

Love, ever embracing

Love blinds you to light or dark

Love keeps you fed and full

Love whispers sweetness

Love is what I yearn for

 Love will find you in every state

in no state

in company

or alone

Come find me then

I am a hidden treasure

Your only desire

Your only salvation

[Rouzbeh]

Patience in the face of everything

♫ If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished?

 

[Mevlana Jalalluddin Rumi]

Wine of Love

Intoxicated by the Wine of Love.
From each a mystic silence Love demands.
What do all seek so earnestly? 'Tis Love.
What do they whisper to each other? Love.
Love is the subject of their inmost thoughts.
...In Love no longer 'thou' and 'I' exist,
For Self has passed away in the Beloved. He who would know the secret of both worlds,
Will find the secret of them both, is Love.

 

[Fariduddin Attar]

Muharram

‎"The believers abstain from drinking pure water throughout these ten days in memory and in honor of the martyrs of Karbalā’. Throughout the Mātam, all Bektashis additionally shun luxury and pleasantries and instead proceed to tekke in order to recall the unforgettable events of this battle with gloomy hearts, keeping t...he words “Ya Imām! Ya Husayn!” on their lips."

Commemorating the First Day of Snow with a Poem by Haji Bektash

For those who have Awareness,

a hint is quite enough.

For the multitudes of heedless

mere knowledge is useless.  

[Haji Bektash Veli]
