Beloved's Family

O you heedless one! When you have troubles, suffering or you are bedevilled, you desperately go find his door and knock; when you feel relieved; you say “Where is He, Where is the door of His monastery?”
Be vigilant and let the wave of the Beloved grabs you. If you lose that wave, you keep saying “Where is the realm of reasons?” 
The Exalted Mevlana Rumi, Divan-e Shams, c.V 2205

BİSMİLLAHİRRAHMANİRRAHİM

The Exalted Shams-e Tabrizi says: “The one who presents God to his beloved ones in the best possible way without expecting any benefits ends up at the realm of eternity. Who in this World wears God after us, we do keep guard on the respect of him and stay immortal with him.
Where in this World one gives his love , he goes there after death.The ones who love each other with great fate, they meet each other again after death. But who is not real in his love, who said with his tongue but not given place in his heart, he goes to the Liars Neighborhood. This is what is true, who tells you otherwise would be lying. 
What is important is to form the habit of human temperament. One needs to think, when the door is knocked sometime soon, in what state will he get in the presence of God. Can you do the service and charity for the sake of God and not for any benefits. Can you forgive for God? Can you be tolerant? Can you be patient? Can you accept that every single good, beautiful and right thing that comes out of you comes from Him actually and can you behave decently without arrogance? What are you doing to increase your spiritual wealth but not earthly possessions. Are you giving the most beautiful place in your heart to that unique Lover? If you can, you're already in heaven! Death is away from you. Always with Him you are alive. The language of the perfect human being is the language of God. Hatred, envy, pride and arrogance is far away from him. For these are sensual characteristics, the spiritually mature person has got out of his ego. He no longer lives in his own self, it is Him who dwell in his heart, reflects His own being. He watches all creatures as the reflection of God, he sees them all as his Beloved’s family and loves them.
Being a perfect human being is to be able to unite all numbers into “One” . Then love all the God’s creatures! Become an eye head to toe, and look at the universe with His love. Become wholly an ear and your hearings will bring you His messages. Let your each mote breathe with Him. You become the word and God will speak out from you.

*The Exalted Sheikh Galib prescribes in one of his poems: It’s misery, trouble - called Love. It’s a disease, it’s a challenge – called Love ------------
