Let's Meet In Love

"A useful human being is who helps to everyone."
 Never forget; God makes sure that the one who serves others, receives what he/she deserves. All creations of the Universe, all human beings have to put effort and work, get involved in life. This is both the law of nature and spirituality. No matter who you are, there is a certain service or work that suits your upbringing and abilities. The key is to find them out and work with enthusiasm and ardent. Nothing happens if you don't put effort.
 Heaven and hell are other human beings. The force that puts love into our hearts, command 'Coax a heart!'. Be nice even to those who curse at you and want you to die. This is the command, no exceptions. It's all about being nice towards others and remaining in non-existence. The rest, takes care of itself.
 Shams Of Tabriz says 'What is the use of taking cummin to Kerman?”* Similarly, what is the use of sacrificing your life for God? Of no avail.That is where all the souls are created, go to Him with something else, something that He doesn't have. Go to Him with prayer, with plea. Since God has no plea, He likes it. Go to Him with your nothingness, so that He gives you grace. That grace is Love. "Once you fall into the trap of Love, He surrounds you and takes you away." meaning: It is not your soul that the Beloved is after. If you give your soul to Him, who will talk to Him? Who will remember Him? Beloved is after your Love, your heart. Grow Love for Him, give Him your heart, and that Love will turn into a passion. When that Love turns into a burning passion, your identity will vanish and His identity will reflect through you. The wine of Love, is indeed the heart. Where your heart belongs is what you seek most. We burn with this Love forever and we don't exist. It is only Him that exists once we have found what we were seeking. Whoever comes to this world, leaves at last, drinks the juice of death one day. The world is a bridge, people cross it one by one. Ignorants are unaware of this fact, Come friends, lets meet in Love, Let's make things easy for each other. Let's love each other, let's be loved by others. Let's know friends, We all will leave this world one day. * Take certain food to where it is grown in abundance?'
