Enough for Us (7/26/2020) What is night, what is day for us as long as He is in our heart? He is the One who burns our heart.   It doesn’t matter if the sun rises or sets. Our Beauty who enlightens and adds Soul to our soul is enough More...

From Behind Thousands of Curtains 7/19/2020 Once my soul had turned its face to the Essence and given up whys, whats and hows, it started to see eternity. The secret of Love and the meaning of creation which had been concealed from it up until then appeared from behind thousands More...
