Advice by baji!!!

every quest starts from a point of "need"...a realization of "Want"...a feeling of lack..a sentiment of vacum..and only when we reach this, our journey starts.

No hills are climbed without passions brother.No revolution occurs without motives..
And so,Alhamdullilah, you have already taken this most difficult step:
a motive , a need, a want, a passion..a vacum is realized.

Consider half work done, because everything that follows is easier. Your "mission statment" reads: i want to feel good..and i seek Allah to help me in purifiying myself.

--> subhanAllah, cud not have expressed it better. This is what the whole tasawuf is about: to seek Allah swt to purify our hearts.

what is this "flith" in us that needs be purified brother?? hatred, self love, arrogance,pride, jealousy,....

on a closer look, all this sum up into one catagory : spiritual sickness of heart(aka Qalb).

when our Qalb is not pure..not clean, we fail to precieve the Devineness in good. How can an ill man enjoy the beauty of glory? how can a blind appriciate a painting? how can a mute sing songs
of joy??? we need ALL our senses tuned to be in Devine equilibrm...to be at peace.

Now how are we linked with Devine brother?what element connects us with Allah? how are we to reach him? -->"with love"!!!

Lord Almighty selected the hearts of beleivers to be His place of residence in all universe!!!!...with love.

Lord Almighty made the whole universe for man..with love!!!
LOrd blessed us with guidance at every step..with love!!!

Allah swt bless you with blessings so many, you can't count them on million hands...and what is the only thing that you can give in gratitude??
A heart that is not bigger thn your one fist!!!!not larger thn your single hand!!!

that is all you need to start with.Give your heart to Lord as a token of thanks..A little token for infinite blessings...

yes brother, all it takes to be in love is to give heart.

AND how do we give heart?

pray and submit to your ONE LORD.speak your heart out...

Lord!!! till this date, it was my heart. i followed it in worldy roads. Lord i had my own will, my passions, my dreams to persue...i had my own destinies..i had my own opinions...but from now
onwards , i give this heart in your way.

FROM NOW ONWARDS, it will seek nothing but what YOU want, it will have no opinon, but YOUR opinion, no will but YOUR will. no destiny but what YOU chose for me.
It will beat in YOUR name, it will speak in YOUR name...it will follow YOUR roads(siraat e mustaqeem).

LORD I SUBMIT.
i m a follower, you are the leader...
i am the seeker and you are my goal...
i am lost, you are my destiny...
i am sick n tired, you are my medicine...
i am rotten, you are my purifier...
i am finished, you can re habilitate me..
i am thirsty, you can quench my thirst..
i am hungry, only you can feed me ...
i am afraid of dark, you are my only light...
i am full of hatred, your name will clean me...
i am a sinner, your forgivness shelters me...
i am a no one without you...and i am everyone when I am with you.

I said i am yours..but i followed my desires ( Have not you seen the one who worships his desires??(alQuran)) when i was to choose, i made wrong choices...please help me..forgive me and guide me.

be in love

be in love brother...just be in love...and all the rest will be handled by HIM.
Just feel HIS love all around you...in sunrise and sunset..in birth and death..in winters and summers...find the elements of Devine love in EVERYTHING around you..and be in love.

you will see magic in everything...the enigma of life.you will find meanings to your prayers...you will find plessures in duas..you will find peace and directions!!!

so to start with brother, be in love.

YA Allah SWT Bless us all with your love, yaqeen, tawaqul, eman, ehsan and itihaad. ya Allah taala, fogive us, help us and bless us..ya Malik, guide us to the right path, and save us from evils, within and around us(ameen sum ameen)

" Qad Aflaha mun tazakaha wa zakara ismma rabbihi fasalah"
(He is successful who purified himself, remembered his Lord by HIS name and prayed.)

FeAmanillah.
