the annual milad of prophet muhammad saw and urs of hazarat sahib shadpur shareef part 6/15

sSufism is known at the way of the heart, the Way of the Pure, the Mystical Path of Islam. By whatever name it is called, it is the path which takes the seeker to the Divine Presence. In essence Sufism is a means and a way by which the seeker will move from the gravity of his or her lower self, to ascend, with the assistance of mystical guide, and through the methods of practice defined by the Way he or she has chosen, to the state wherein the vision of Allah is presented to him or her. The ways to Allah are as numerous as the breaths of mankind. Each individual person has his or her own, personal and private way to the divine presence. Each person is a unique representative of the Divine. The Sufis say "if human beings knew their own inner secrets, never would they look elsewhere for seeking happiness, peace and inner light". Therefore the essence of the path is to find "Know thyself, know thy Lord!" is an imperative of the Sufi Way. As beings endowed with the Divine Light, we are the custodians and maintainers of all that is of benefit for the personality of humankind, the protection of the planet, and for connecting with our inner childlike self. It is this spiritual connection that enables human beings to draw from the universal flow of energy which penetrates every interstice of this universe, and to channel it towards healing and soothing the body and souls of our sisters and brothers on this tiny green planet, floating like a sparkling sapphire in the depths of space. The pursuit of truth is the quest for a particular goal, a quest pursued no matter how difficult the path -- and for the most important truths, the way may be long and arduous indeed. Tasawwuf, or Sufism, is the esoteric school of Islam, founded on the pursuit of spiritual truth as a definite goal to attain: the truth of understanding reality as it truly is, as knowledge, and so achieving ma'arefat.
