I Only Expect A Pure Heart

All that is expected from someone in this path is to have a pure heart, show pure love; show pure Divine love. Nothing else is expected. The Prophet Mohammed, peace be on him, spoke always of his Beloved. And in speaking of his Beloved, he in turn was named beloved; he is called "Mohammed, the Beloved of God."
Jesus, it's because he spoke from Origin and gave life; " the Spirit of God."
 Moses spoke only of God, from God; "the Word of God."
Mevlana was totally in love with his spiritual master; lost himself within Shems of Tabriz. He saw all the beauties of God and the greatness of the prophet Mohammed reflected in Shems. After seeing this reality, Mevlana's spirit became Shems. He said; "If you are a lover, try to die within the place of your faith so that you may come forth as the Beloved of the time.
Don't temper that love with even a drop of intellect. If you do, it will be just like a drop of vinegar curdling a whole kettle of milk; it will carry away all your wonderful feelings.
That's why I only expect a pure heart from disciples."...(to be continued)
