You are the remedy for my despair; You are the origin of my sorrow; You have within the Four Elements; In you is Sanctuary! Around your waist is the girdle; The crown is atop your head; Illumination emanates from your visage, O Hacı Bektaş!
To Know One Self
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn't decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.
[Mevlana Jalalludin Rumi]

Bawa Muhayideen's Wise Words
"Peace, unity, and equality...when we are in one place, when we live in one place, eat in one place, sleep in one place, disappear in one place, die in one place, when our final judgment is given in one place, and when we finally join together in heaven in one place, that is unity. Even when we go to that (final) place, we all live together in freedom as one family, one group. In this world and in the next world we live together in freedom, as one family of peace. This is Islam. If we find this way of peace, this is Islam."
— M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
