Inspired Being – On falling upon God

On falling upon God !

“Pulling out the chair beneath your mind and watching you fall upon #God!
What else is there for #Hafez to do, that’s more #fun in this #world?” – Hafez

Let go of your attempts to know God with your mind, then you can really know God with your #heart!. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – Of hearts and words

Of #hearts and #words

“تنبع معظم مشاكل العالم من أخطاء لغوية ومن سوء فهم بسيط، لا تأخذ #الكلمات بمعناها الظاهري مطلقًا. وعندما تلج دائرة #الحب، تكون اللغة اللغة التي نعرفها قد عفى عليها #الزمن، فالشيء الذي لا يمكن التعبير عنه بكلمات، لا يمكن إدراكه إلا بالصمت”. – #شمس التبريزي

” Most of the problems of the #world stem from linguistic mistakes and simple misunderstandings. Don’t ever take words at face value. When you step into the zone of #love, #language as we know it becomes #obsolete. That which cannot be put into words can only be grasped through #silence” – #Shams of Tabriz

Words are one of the lowest forms of communocation. Use your #heart; not your #mind, if you want to #understand !. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – Of love and intellect

Of #love and #intellect

“يتكون الفكر و#الحب من مواد مختلفة. فالفكر يربط البشر في عقد، لكن الحب يذيب جميع العقد. إن الفكر حذر على الدوام وهو يقول ناصحًا:احذر الكثير من النشوة. بينما الحب يقول: لا تكترث! أقدم على هذه المجازفة. وفي حين أن الفكر لا يمكن أن يتلاشى بسهولة، فإن الحب يتهدم بسهولة ويصبح ركامًا من تلقاء نفسه. لكن الكنوز تتوارى بين الأنقاض. والقلب الكسير يخبئ كنوزًا” – #شمس التبريزي

“Intellect and love are made of two different materials. Intellect ties people in knots and risks nothing, but love dissolves all tangles and risks everything. Intellect is always cautious and advises, “Beware of too much ecstasy,” whereas Love says, “Oh never mind. Take the plunge!” Intellect does not easily break down, whereas love can effortlessly reduce itself to rubble. But #treasures are hidden amongst ruins. Broken hearts usually hide treasures” – #Shams of Tabriz

Find your treasure… take the plunge!. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – On language

“Most of conflicts and tensions are due to #language.
Don’t pay so much attention to the #words.
In love’s country, language does not have its place.

Inspired Being – on intuition

“The #intuitive #mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a #faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift” – #Einstein
#Trust your #intuition. #God speaks to you all the time, you just need to pay #attention. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – Decide which life you want

“If you correct your mind, everything else will fall into place” – Bhagavad #Gita
Your #life is simply how you decide to see it. Decide wisely !. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – Of mind and love

“The chemistry of #mind is different from the chemistry of #love. The mind is careful, suspicious, he advances little by little. He advises “Be careful, protect yourself”, Whereas love says “Let yourself go!”
The mind  thrives on #strength, avoids to fall down, while love hurts itself, falls into ruins But isn’t it in ruins that we mostly find the treasures? A broken #heart hides so many treasures.” – #Shams Tabrizi
#Trust your heart, look for the treasure!. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – Journey to enlightenment

“The most important step in your #journey to #enlightenment, is to learn to dis-identify from your #mind!” – #Ekhart #Tolle
Let your mind serve you, not enslave you. #Monir El Shazly
