Etiquetas


He puesto al día mis entradas y he añadido etiquetas, así que a partir de ahora aquellos que lo deseen pueden leer mis entradas en Inglés y los que saben que de vez en cuando también escribo en mi lengua materna, Español, he puesto un enlace en el panel izquierdo para que puedan consultarlas.

La verdad es que no sé cómo no se me ocurrió antes.

I have updated my posts and have added labels, so from now on those who want to they will be able to read the entries in English and those who know I from time to time write also in my mother tongue Spanish, know that from now on there is a link on left panne to the Spanish entries as well.

I don't know why I did not do this before.

Amor Místico




Amor Místico que incendias mis palabras
con dulce fuego de canciones en mi alma.

Amor,
que ríes y lloras en silencio
las lágrimas del placer eterno.

Amor suave, Amor auténtico,
que me da lo que nunca tuve que pedir:
aquello que siempre estuvo aquí,
cubierto por montañas de vació.

Fuiste, Eres, Serás Amor,
en un tiempo lejano, en un futuro cierto.
Sin contar las horas Eres.

Amor místico que me deja beber la luz de la Luna,
imparable ante los abismos del hombre,
Amor que todo lo sabe, que todo lo ve...

Me dejas beber la luz de la Luna,
el llanto del ciego,
las risas de la vida en toda su sabiduría.

Me siento en las noches junto a tu vera,
y me cantas la canción del músico que juega con los colores del arco iris
en notas de corazón que palpita. Amor Místico:
Tú eres lo que existe ciertamente en las almas de los niños sabios.

Sufism a school of mystical love

Practical Sufism and Philosophical Sufism


Seyedeh Dr. Nahid Angha


The history of Sufism is, indeed, an old yet glorious one. This inner path, which originated from the heart of Islam and was established by the people of the platform, Ahle-Suffa, in Medina, Arabia, fifteen centuries ago, has embraced many individuals throughout the world during its most celebrated history. It is because of the inner truth of Sufism, a belief system and discipline free from the confines of time and place, that people from diverse cultural backgrounds and all walks of life, who are, yet, seeking a common pathway to an eternal and transcendent truth, can call themselves Sufis. It is easy to think of Sufism as an abstract doctrine. It is easy to think of Sufism as an open gateway that leads to the garden of truth, as a path of love which requires no endeavor. It is all too easy if we tend to forget that the inner strength of Sufism has been established through and from the personal qualifications, devotion and intellectual ability of those who have defined the quest of truth, that lies at the heart of Sufism.

The history of Sufism records that when the news of Islam spread throughout the middle east and its neighboring nations, many people from many lands were attracted to Arabia. They were coming to hear the teachings of the Prophet. Among these seekers, there were also groups of people, from many lands, nations, cultures and backgrounds, who were united by the inner longing to

Love


La mirada de mi pequeña, originally uploaded by Cajita_Plateada.

"Love is a flame that burns away all that is not Allah."
Love is a Beautiful and Divine Gift that Allah has blessed us all with. Love is what keeps the Universe in motion, it keeps the world turning, and it's what circulates in our blood. The essence of our Creation is Love.
In the sense of Romantic relationships, Allah tells us to Love one another for His sake. We Love a human being because he/she is also another Creation of Allah, and the fact that they're in our lives means that they're a blessing from Allah. Your family, your friends, your loved ones, they are all gifts to you from the Divine. The Special One ... the twin half or soul mate ... is a special blessing. The key to a successful marriage or union of souls is to understand the truth of "Love is a flame that burns away all that is not Allah."


~Rumi












Ibn Arabi Flamenco

This clip shows some minutes of a recital held in Fes, Morocco, last year. Even though the image is not still, I recommend you to listen to the music and voice. It is very beautiful.




"My heart has become capable of every form:
It is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,
And a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Ka'ba
And the tables of the Tora
And the book of the Koran.
I follow the religion of Love:
Whatever way Love's camels take,
That is my religion and my faith."

The Neoplatonist Roots of Sufi Philosophy

Kamuran Godelek
(Comparative Philosophy)

Neoplatonism strongly influenced the development of Sufism. Neoplatonism, as developed by Plotinus conceives God to be the source and goal of everything. Islam qua institution is closed to all critical and philosophical thought, but Sufism enjoys a more liberal and critical approach. It is probable that the translations of Plotinus have provided the necessary philosophical ground for Sufism. An examination of both Sufism and Neoplatonism reveals close similarities with regard to the nature of God, the soul, the body, concepts such as goodness, evil and beauty, death and life, and creation.
