The Song of the Soul

 

That is such a pure music from this chinese flute

it feels like it is a voice rubbing, while ascending, through the body walls (from belly to the throat)
and then it breathes its soul out on top of its head


and it opens up like a thousand petals flower, blossoming to show its opening

and it calls, it calls to show it is here, here in the garden and spreading its beauty
all around.


the piano establishes the realm of where the soul lives
and tells its story
sooo happy the soul is

the chinese flute confirms its enjoyment there

violins comes in to back it up

establishing the field where both souls live

and the orchestra goes on, one step higher,

upgrading their rythm to the flute's one

which is an ascending one

and makes the melody so honorably high and rich

only because more instruments/voices are joining in.
All in One Fabric, and the Fabric expanding.

That is what an Ummah is.
Ummah means Community in islam,
this arabic word has its root word "Umm",
the same root than in "Ummi".

Ummi is used for the prophet muhammad (pbuh)
to say he had not been taught in religious schools, and yet is
knowledgeable.For he received knowledge through a Divine Power within.

Umm refers to the word "mother".

Ummi would also be translated as "my mother".

the power of God within has a nourishing characteristic
similar to a mother who gives milk to his children and wean them,
likewise the nourishing power of God
nourishes souls of human beings.
purifies them
and made them grow.

Did He not find you (O Muhammed) an orphan and gave you refuge?" (93:6)


hence hearing the sentence "being brother and sister in religion/faith/humanity" is hinting at a common Mother
linking us all.

As creation has been created to POINT AT man's condition
and not carve similitudes to God

the motherly power within man is the nourishing power of Allah within, the power of Ar Rahman  to which when one submits, one is being nourished by it, purified and freed from slavery to other than God's Power.


there was a woman among the prisoners who was searching (for her child). When she found her child she embraced him and put him to her breast. The Messenger of Allah said to us, ‘Do you think that this woman would throw her child in the fire?’ We said, ‘No, by Allah, not if she is able not to.’ The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ‘Allah is more merciful to His slaves than this woman is to her child.’”
(Al-Bukhaari, 5653; Muslim, 6912.)


God has no likeness to His creation
but His manifestation is seen through His beautiful names
that man strives to make his
as the prophet assimilated them in him
(hence the 99 qualities of the prophets which are similars to
those of 99 names of God)

For he mastered these qualities and led and showed the Path made of these qualities leading to God, The One and only.

This is how a TRUE Ummah, Community is,
it is threading the Path of those beautiful names
and making them theirs as much as they can.

but how could one use his own mind to integrate these qualities?
only the motherly/loving power of God can gracefully gift you these.

look at the face of the flutist so much IN, so much attuned
to the melody inside

so that his attention to his instrument's music does not stop at his blowing in his instrument

but he literally goes away with the melody once it is out of his flute...

and the pianist is literally swinging with the melody he is playing,
such a peace on his face. his face is such an apeased one,
clean one.


and then the first bird nightingale on the violin speaks, calls,
it feels like her voice comes out of her heart, as if the strings of the heart/of the violin are being pulled,

an answer comes in a louder tone, like an echo to the first bird's call, the male bird answering the female one now.

back again the feminine one singing her happiness to have been heard.

what an amazing story this Ummah is,
it is the field
where souls meet through the Power of God
where they communicate
and experience Life through the eyes of each other
and share their own vision of Life

sharing their life...such a beautiful image.

two souls can meet each other in this physical world,
in this dream realm, only because of the power within
who enables them to MEET each other for the purpose of SHARING

so that joy be increased by comm-union, by this common exchange

As Yanni the greek pianist said before the concert starts, about the nightingale he was listening to :

"what a pity that we cannot communicate"

and now here he is, communicating with a chinese audience in the newly learned language, the language of the soul, oups, the language of the nightingale.

once you and i lie in our grave, we are souls separated from this power and are like ghosts without the means to be master of our life

unless

soul meets its spirit
hold firmly this Rope of Allah
the central channel within

this is the self realisation
the soul realising that its origin is from the spirit within
the breath of God, the power of God

then
its journey of purification may start
and its growth be a means of joy for him and the others

the Ummah, the Community then is truly a Community
for it has in common this motherly loving power of Ar Rahman (The Merciful)

and on this BASE it can understand each other, share with each other, and increase individual joy (the one of each soul) and build more in the Kingdom of God (common joy reflected by the state of the Community)

Know thyself and you shall know God.
Ameen.




Finally, look at the pianist face at the end
so full of blissful embedded peace.
