“We think "thought" is a simple thing having no impact, weight, or effect on our mind but isn't every single thing based and built on a thought? Everything today is phenomenal existence exists because it was someone's thought even we are too. We are God's thoughts in existence and in reality, we don't exist. In order to achieve something in life, we just need to improve our thought and I believe that's the secret of thought.”

“~ The Foolish Fool ~

I can tell the world I am Good,
I can wear religious clothing show the world I am Good,
I can pray 5 times prayers to convince people in the world I am Good,
I can perform pilgrimage to holy places to be known by others I am Good,
I can feed the poor to feed my ego and feel I am Good,
I can hide my own sin call, people, sinners behind and become delusional that I am Good,
I can wear a sheep mask being a wolf expecting the Shepard to consider that I am Good,
I can fool the whole world to believe in me I am Good,
But in reality, I fooled myself by proving to people, not God that I am Good.”

“In the realm of Maya's veil,
Where illusions dance and sway,
Ram and Krishna, wise and true,
Saw through the world's ephemeral hue.
Allah, the All-Merciful, proclaimed,
"This mortal stage, a fleeting game,
Where egos strut and passions flare,
A testing ground, a soul's repair."
Muhammad, the Prophet of Light,
Expounded on the material plight,
A transient realm, a fragile guise,
Where true treasures lie beyond the skies.
Oh, heed their words, their wisdom deep,
And seek the essence, the soul to keep,
For in the depths of spirit's embrace,
Lies true reality, time's endless chase.”
― Aiyaz Uddin, The Inward Journey

The only reality is you, Oh beloved!
that exists and except you none.”

“I was fighting the wrong battle,
I was ignorant of the enemy within,
I was my own hidden enemy,
I was my own misery and suffering,
I was fierce in pointing out the darkness outside,
I was unaware of the inward darkness,
I was searching for my truth elsewhere,
I was just looking at reality in the wrong way,
I was lost because I was looking somewhere,
I was found because I looked at I,
I was attached to the world,
So I couldn’t see the I,
I was detached from my reality,
I was enveloped in the body,
I would not have found I,
If I wouldn’t have got beloved’s grace upon I!”

“My Feather Weight Heart!

It wasn’t this way clean and lightweight before,
It all started when I met the spiritual surgeon after,
It was filled with jealousy, greed, lust, stinginess and envy before,
It got cleaned when I started to meditate on the name of beloved after,
It was all dark filled with all black spots before,
It got lighter when the name of God entered after,
It was filled with hate towards oneself and others before,
It’s now filled with love towards oneself and others after,
It was disconnected from the truth of reality,
It’s now connected with reality of truth after,
It was once ignorant and arrogant before,
It is now awakened and mindful after,
It was out of the side of the truth of oneself before,
It is now in truth with insights of oneself after,
It was oppressive, aggressive, and transgressive before,
It is now submissive, merciful and compassionate after,
It was racist, filled with malice and hateful before,
It is now united, filled with love and acceptance after,
It was searching for the truth outside in the mosque, church, synagogues and temples before,
It is now in awareness of the temple inside me after,
It was not aware of God, temple of God (heart) and the soul before,
It is now when I met beloved reviving my dead heart after!”

My breath can be ignored,
My existence can be ignored,
My life can be ignored,

My flaming heart cannot be ignored,
My awakened soul cannot be ignored,
My love for my beloved cannot be ignored!”
