Solitude

[Jasy]

Solitude

Suppose you can recite a thousand holy

verses from memory.

What are you going to do

with your ego self, the true

mark of the heretic?

Every time your head touches

the ground in prayers, remember,

this was to teach you to

put down that load of ego

which bars you from entering

the chamber of the Beloved.

To your mind feed understanding,

to your heart, tolerance and compassion.

The simpler your life, the more meaningful.

The less you desire of the world,

the more room you will have in it

to fill with the Beloved.

The best use of your tongue

is to repeat the Beloved's Name in devotion.

The best prayers are those in

the solitude of the night.

The shortest way to the Friend

is through selfless service and

generosity to His creatures.

Those with no sense of honor and dignity are best avoided.

Those who change colors constantly

are best forgotten.

The best way to be with those

bereft of the Beloved's qualities,

is to forget them in the

joy of silence in one's corner of solitude.
