Not Out There (2/4/2024) Sometimes you get tired of living with His sorrow and so you reject life. Sometimes you tell His story with the ache in your heart. Why are you turning so dizzily around the world? The One whom you search for is not out there, but inside More...

Don’t Make Me Talk with You through that Curtain (1/28/2024) Since I am the slave of the Sun, I should talk only about the Sun. I am not the night and don’t worship the night. Why should I talk about dreams?   Since I am the envoy of the Sun, More...

On the Way to the Beloved’s Love (1/21/2024) You won’t taste ecstasy as long as you are sober. You won’t know the soul if you stay in your body. You will never reach the Truth if you are not annihilated like fire and water mixed together on the way to More...
