“Truth is not what you want it to be, it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie.”

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes,
Because for those who love with heart and soul
there is no such thing as separation.

[Mustafa Akyol @AkyolinEnglish]

Remarkable words by Shaykh @YasirQadhi on liberty in 🇺🇸:

American Muslims have a blessing that most other Muslims in the world (including the Muslim world) do not have:

"A constitution that protects our freedoms."

"We thank Allah for that freedom."

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. ~Epictetus

[Mustafa Akyol @AkyolinEnglish]

“You cannot impose sharia [Islamic law] as a positive law that is binding on all people.”

Says @ulil, as quoted here in The Economist.

I agree. Sharia is built on faith. So, it should be voluntarily practiced by faith, not coercively imposed by power.

If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.

Sufi wisdom:

“When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the soul laughs for what it has found.”

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

Whatever you may have to do, watch your mind. Also you must have moments of complete inner peace and quiet, when your mind is absolutely still. If you miss it, you miss the entire thing. If you do not, the silence of the mind will dissolve and absorb all else.

When a person says something to you based on ignorance, don't respond. Silence is the most appropriate response.

Turn within. Turn all your enquiries towards the search for Self.

[Manjit @Manjit94489911]

Humans r possessors of infinite power and yet they make themselves miserable by ignoring it.

All our suffering is only due to Karmas.When we end our Karmas we experience freedom and joy.

"You must watch yourself continuously.. particularly your mind.. moment by moment, missing nothing. This witnessing is essential for the separation of the self from the not-self.”

Across USA, Muslim, Christian & other families are protesting LGBTQ themes in public schools.

My colleague @NealMcCluskey & I think they are right: governments can't dictate worldviews, and schools should be freer.

[Miraculous Fragments @SalCheevers]

Our principal error is that we think we have one mind. We call the functions of this mind 'conscious'; everything that does not enter this mind we call 'unconscious' or 'subconscious'. This is our chief error.

As long as you think about yourself, you will not remember yourself.
