“Work of the eyes is done, now go and do heart-work on all the images imprisoned within you.” Rilke, the poet
Sometimes there's a knowing or touching of hearts - even across the wide world.
So today, I wanted something quite simple to top my sometimes overly serious probes of peace...
First I found the quote I needed yet thought of the following named novel to find just the right lush photo. Then here - after my making of simple post, I see on today's page at this novel these amazing words in sync with my own heart & also with the the teachings of the poet Allama Iqbal.
Find here one of the deepest most original authors you'll find anywhere in the world. I've just now begin to read this work online in earnest and hope you will do the same. GO here
How about these evocative lines from the above named site : "Ghameagahi"?
“Restless, agitated, uneasy, exploring, desiring.” He looked Ilaaf smiling, “You do search something every moment.” Ilaaf shook his head unwillingly, perhaps hiding something in front of Alchemist or lying was not possible.
“Don’t worry, whatever you search, you will find, in this world and even in your world because one can find everything by searching even God, conditionally if he has the true passion.” He kept looking him with a puzzled look.
“Passion….what this passion is? Why it doesn’t let one to sit peacefully? Why it sends our feet towards an endless journey? Why does it throw our heart to sink in the ocean of pain? And either this passion is true or not who will decide it? When there is no scale to measure the magnitude of this passion then how one could know that this passion is either true or not?” He kept saying with an anxiety.
“So many questions are being asked simultaneously. I can not answer all of them together.” Alchemist looked him smiling.
Ilaaf remained silent.
“The journey has just begun; you will get the answers of all questions slowly and gradually. Why to be hurried?”
The restless soul of Ilaaf got agitated on his satisfaction.
“I have to be hurried, why should not I be hurried? This burning, this emptiness, this agitation and restlessness don’t let me to live.”
“Be patient, on the way of Love, on the journey of Love, the finding of the destiny is difficult as well as patience testing. This hurry can harm you.”
“Love….” He looked Alchemist with a stunning look.
“So, is this the road of Love?” Ilaaf asked by indicating towards that long road.
“What do you think?” He asked by looking directly in Ilaaf’s eyes.
Ilaaf had no answer. He changed the direction of his eyes.
“The world that exists inside the heart has every road, the road of love, Ilaaf. And this one road can take the man to visit the new worlds. How vast and wide is the world of heart, and whatever it has is more than the entire knowledge of the world. One who becomes aware of the world of his heart, he would be able to be aware from each and every secret of this universe. You too are in exploration of a secret? You want to know the secret of your existence, so you will have to be patient for that.”
