Only God Knows (9/5/2021)
We keep turning like the sky in our longing for the Moon. Only God knows our business. Considering all the things which are happening in this world, we wonder how smart people can keep their minds in their heads. Yet, they wonder about our exuberance. Rubailer (2016), Rubai #1, page 335....

Being in God’s Vicinity (5/24/2020)
This solitude is better than the company of thousands. This freedom is sweeter than owning the whole world. Being in God's vicinity for even a short time is worth more than the soul, more than the universe, more than all of this, more than all of that. Rubailer (2016), Rubai...
How Lucky (1/12/20)
The soul's Sultan pushes us from one play to another as if we were pawns in a chess game. I wonder if He wins. I wonder if He is ever checkmated. After all, aren't we the ones on trial? He picked up our particles, gathered them together, then kneaded...

Bravos to Our Power and Abilities!
Sometimes , the angels are jealous of our purity. Sometimes, the devil is afraid of our recklessness. Our clay body carries God's gift. Bravos to our power and abilities! Rubailer (2016), Rubai #3, page 43.

I am at Peace with Him (11/18/18)
Every mind becomes confused when it sees Your face. Every face is scratched by Your Absence. I have become drunk because of Your reproach. I don't even know if Your pure wine is better than a sedimented one. (more…)
Throw Away This Image (10/7/18)
The words which come from the soul are a curtain to the soul. The fog which comes from the sea hides the coast and the pearls of that sea. It is a great task to get involved in philosophical discourses. But, the explanation is the curtain to the Sun...
That Pure Clean Mirror (10/22/17)
Come to your senses, O body made of clay. Don’t talk about the Earth. Don’t talk about anything but that pure, clean mirror. The One who created it left His attribute in your heart. Don’t talk about anything but that attribute. Rubailer, Page 375, Rubai #2
If You Forget These Words (8/27/17)
O heart, if you are aware of the words “God is with you wherever you are,” why do you get so confused? If you forget these words, you are attributing a partner to God. Rubailer, Page 364, Rubai #1
A Secret Rose Garden (7/16/17)
He is a secret rose garden which bushes are concealing. He appears in hundreds of different shapes, but He is the only one. He is a coastless ocean that covers everything. One wave from this ocean becomes hundreds of waves in every soul. Rubailer, Page 352, Rubai #3

“God Knows Best” (3/5/17)
I became the confidant of the One who set out to search. I became a friend of the One who settled down in the land of Glory. I saw a dome beyond the six dimensions. I turned into the floor, the dirt of that dome. (more…)
A Curtain to the Soul (1/8/17)

The One… (8/28/16)

God’s Appearance (6/19/16)
Every creature in the universe is God’s appearance. Every event, everything has existed in the Divine Consciousness before. Every particle comes from the whole. But, that does not mean the whole divides into particles all the time. ...
