Ascending in Love

https://youtu.be/T94PHkuydcw Ascending in Love or falling in love?

What did the moon say to the night?
what did the night whisper to the moon?

these are all imaginary dialogue
secret dialogue
into which it seems no one can pry into it

but who made those dialogues ?
the heart of those observers or lovers
who longed to hear for the echo of the love they are feeling within, in the first place.

but once the echo is heard
all sanity is gone
they think it is the echo which was their initial object of love

while it has only been an awaited answer
when they were diving within.

Never an element has ever been alive
no more alive than a statue molded by the hand of a man.

Yet, as much as it would be idolatry to give life to a statue
this very statue is so much alive
when it is not a statue.

"
-Do not try to bend the spoon.
It is impossible
Instead realise the Truth."
-What Truth?
-There is no spoon."

And the spoon bent.

(Movie Matrix)

Because the statue or the spoon ; ) have never existed of their own accord, in the first place,
as an independent entity from Our Real Self Within.

they are the call of the heart echoed
and never love has been parted in the first place
to be found;

but it has for ever existed within
and just yearning of it to be revealed, brought Itself to be expressed.

For if there had been no one inquiring,
how would It have revealed Itself?
It would have just remained in silence within Itself
may be waiting for someone to ask,
to answer.

A silent call to draw nearer to It, to the Source and not to remain stuck in the manifestation of It.
That call that no one answers, because one keeps getting amnesic, once one has asked for Love,
and keep falling in love for the signs pointing at the Source.

Yes, a call in front of a full audience
who hears not.
because it has fallen in love with the echo answering their question,
but having forgotten The One behind it.

As soon as the echo has expressed itself, people forget that they are the ones
whose very heart has given birth to that expression.

Question and answer
Longing and melting in
are both face of the same coin - Love.

If there were no question, to melt into love
there would be no answer/way to reveal its depth.

By prying, looking into the matter,
we chisel with our own sight, the marble till it shows a face.

but we do not worship images, that we carved
we do not fall in love with the piece of art

the master,
like Pygmalion who fell in love with the statue of Venus
or, Narcissus with his own reflected image in the lake in the Metamorphoses of Ovid

are those who have given birth to their longing
in the form of a piece of art,

and have in the process forgotten,
that all of this has just been an answer to their inner inquiry
into themselves
into the one and unique beauty within
the Spirit

taking thus their own revealed beauty into the world of creation and manifestation
for the Source of Love
forgetting, it was only the birth of an answer to their desire to know themselves,
to witness an inner aspect of ours according to our level of understanding, inquiry

but never to be mistaken as the source of Love.

an answer created From (The Source of) Love, For Love (to witness it), In Love, With Love
and Returning back to Love too.

Clinging to it, is falling in love with the manifestation/illusion,
because it will go away
and one will die of sorrow like narcissus did.

Things are bound to One Master Only, and that is The Source of

Love,
Al Wadud.

Like Clouds slaves to their Creator

it is never the creator who is slave to them,
the creator never runs after them
the creator out of His Love, creates them,
they bearing witness to Him/The Source.


Allah is
The most beautiful Creator of creators (holy quran, 21.17)

Tabaraka allahu ahsanul-Khaliqeen

For Grace, Freedom lies in this creation of His, hence the

Beauty

while other creators are slaves of their own creation.
clinging to them out of forgetfulness, wishing to possess them, bind them, enslave them,
thereby enslaving themselves to illusions.


Have you ever associated feelings of oppression to nature,
while being there?
no, its creation is made with such Ahsan, Beauty/Gracefulness

Generously giving which makes anyone, ANYONE feel soothened by

nature...

or feel happy in the presence of a new born baby,
whatever your religion be.

For, when born, we are born on our true nature/religion
only parents corrupt it
(saying of the prophet muhammad - peace be upon him)


Had one not inquired into this Beauty out of Love,
the answer would have not swept onto the shore like waves do.

Bringing with them the answer from the depth of the Ocean.

Is  the shore not often refered to "consciousness"
by the psychologues?
or by the dream interpretors?

it is because from the depth of Seas, of the unconscious part of ourselves
comes the answer on the shores of our consciousness.

Besides, is it not said,

Say: "If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words  
of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the  
words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like it, for its aid."
(holy quran, 18.109)


What is the difference between the Ocean and the waves, when the waves are from It?

They have just been called out of the Ocean to let 
the answer express itself according to the questioner's level of inquiry;
drawn like a magnet out of the sea, out of Love to answer the 
call of the questioner or the lover.


The night merges in the day
and the day merges into the night

they take turns into each other
as if to know each other better from within

though it be still the same sky
yet, it has been centuries that each of them are merging into the others
as if time was not enough to know the other side

often, it is said when two people marry,
the woman become like the husband, she takes in, his color
in behavior or manner
and the husband takes in the color of his counterpart

so better choose your partner to elevate you
and not draw you downwards.

but night or day sky
they are always in ascension
the whole universe is,

and for mankind?


Does mankind not wish to go beyond shores of his consciousness
or depth of his own seas,
yes go beyond?

as it is said,
to take the color of Allah?


Allah says :

صِبْغَةَ اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ صِبْغَةً ۖ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ عَابِدُونَ

The “sibghah” of Allah, and who can be better than Allah in “sibghah”? And we are His worshippers 
(holy quran 2:138 )

Sibgha means to color or to dye.

Kun faya Kun
(Be and it is)



Ya Nizamuddin Auliya,

Hadon ko mita le,
Aaja khaalipan mein, Pi ka ghar tera.
Tere bin khaali aaja khaalipan mein.

Main to jaanu hi na.

Tu hai mujh mein samaaya
Kahaan leke mujhe aaya.

Main hoon tujh mein samaaya
Tere peeche chala aaya,
Tere hi main ik saaya.

Main to jag ko na bhaya,
Tune gale se lagaya,
Haq tu Hi Tai Khudaya
Sach tu hai hai Khudaya

Jab kahin pe kuch nahi bhi nahi tha

O God's friend, Nizamuddin!
O Nizamuddin, the friend of poor.

Advance your blessed feet. Appear!
Making the boundaries disappear,
may you fill this void, the abode of your Beloved.
Its empty without you, come fill this void.

O Dyer, O Dyer!
We dye in Your color.

Be, and it is! Be, and it is!
Be, and it is! And It is!
Be, and it is! And It is!
Be, and it is! And It is!

When there was nothing nowhere,
He was the One, only One.

He is the one Who is in my soul,
He is the one in your soul,
Dear Lord is the one that is the Mystery (all around).

Be, and it is! Be, and it is!

Allah the Sublime, the Magnificent says the truth.

Color my heart and my mind with Your color, the Color Divine!
In exchange, take all that is mine.

Morning showers its blessings (when) I adore You,
and it purifies dark night soul of mine.
My spirit's nourishment comes from Your sanctuary,
O Master, O Beloved...

Be, and it is! Be, and it is!
When there was nothing nowhere,
He was the One, only One.
Kun fa ya Kun, Kun fa ya Kun!

Allah the Sublime, the Magnificent says the truth
His Messenger, the Generous Prophet says the truth
The blessings and peace of Allah upon him.

It would be your generosity upon me, my Master,
I pray to you, please free me from the bonds of the self,
Grant me visitation to my True Face -
Free me from the bonds of the self,
freedom from the self.

With vanities of my mind,
burdens of my misdeeds,
Carrying, where I am going?
I have no idea!

You live within me, and now,
where have You brought me?

I live in You,
I have only followed You,
I am but Your shadow.

You created me,
I did not fit within the world,
But You embraced me,
Only You are the Truth.
Only You are the Real.

(You Command) Be, and it is! Be, and it is!
Be, and it is! Be, and it is!

When there was nothing nowhere,
He was the One, only One.

When there was nothing nowhere,
He was the One, only One.

Verily, when You will anything
Your Command only is, "Be," and it is!
(Please intend noble aspirations and direction for me).

Allah the Sublime, the Magnificent says the truth
His Messenger, the Generous Prophet says the truth
The blessings and peace of Allah upon him.
Benediction of grace and peace upon him.
