I so luv Sufism & this from a Lebanese Armenian Orthodox ... Sufism is all about love, peace, harmony ... No radicalism, hatred, discrimination; none of those ...
so much of what he says i can relate to that is why in the quran it says "god is so much nearer than the veins of your neck"that place is our spiritual heart.
When you serve others without expectation, but on faith that others will help, the astounding thing is that people will also give of themselves.. When you give of your time and concern, to others, you give them the opportunity to return that, but you shouldn't expect it.. The Miracle is the result of giving resources, time, concern, thought, etc.. It's the miracle that brings you closer to god..
Gnosis, Higher Power gives you the spiritual knowledge that comes from nowhere, yet it comes from you at the same time, and you are unlimited in this knowledge. But the mystic wants nothing, they don't desire the knowledge, or any power, fame etc. That is the humbleness of the mystic. This is what I try to be like too. But when Higher Power tells you that you can manifest what you want, take that seriously. Use it to get your life back on track, not to abuse that power. I have been blessed to have the opportunity to do such a thing. I needed help, and Higher Power came and is letting me try to heal myself from trauma and illness. It is an amazing blessing to have. I will not let Higher Power down.
Thank you. Now I know what I have been experiencing for the last six years. Without a teacher, it was all experience based. I don't think I'd recommend that, as the Guru says.
I had a moment, not really sure how long this period lasted, after my oldest son was born and I placed him into open adoption, where my heart imploded into what he describes in talking about the butterfly wings. It completely changed me; I had no words to describe it other than Love , love love. Fast forward 21 years, after so many other experiences of extreme sorrow, fear, mundanity, and it is still there. This is my purpose in life of recent-- to grow in that divine awareness. Nothing else matters. I thank you for this interview.
That was Lao Tzu. As in the Chinese philosopher. Definitely not a Sufi mystic. The real quote is “he who knows does not speak, he who speaks does not know.” Or at least that’s the most popular translation. I even googled your “those who talk” version + Sufism just to be sure and still all that comes up is the quote from the Tao te Ching.
Absolutely amazing where can I find u teacher I came from a long line of sufis u are amazing I am seeking more knowledge to fine the truth of the divine love
dimension 432z Did Prophet Muhammad teach that, or is this some interpretation of sheikh of yours? if you dont find this understanding in the sayings of Prophet Muhammad or Sahabas, then let it be know that you are following the invention of some sheiks but not Prophet of Islam.
there isnt one way to the lights, different paths same destination...i dont need to lsn to any one, every one got the truth in there soul {the essence},u need to get to know your self to know god ... al the massengers got one message,did we as ppl get the message yet NOPE,...whats goin on with with the world is because we want to change the world and not our self.....life is full of mystery .they beauty is in that ,if every thing was out then life wont be meaningful thats the beauty of life ! :) ..and i dont follow any sheikhs.....i just take what resonates with me and whal my heart feels its familiar ..to which what we forgot,due to mund programming since childhood !
dimension 432z I am sorry to say but these thoughts of yours dont match with the way Sahabas understood the path to Deen! Do you think and feel you have a better way to Deen, you can seek Qurb e Illahi better than those,(Sahabas), whose life are example for us? I am sure any sincere human being be it a jew, Christian, Buddhist or hindu, when he/she thinks of reverting to Islam, they become a victim of Sahitan and he tells them... "it is just a different path the destination is the same, dont listen to anyone, the truth is in your soul, get to know yourself, you will find God" But is that the case in reality, Nope!!! This is why God chose Prophets and Messengers to guide us and demonstrate and give a alive demo and show us the right path and the direction of the destination! When the Prophet Muhammad showed you the straight path ( Quran and Sunnah), why do you want to take a different Path? Dont you Love Prophet Muhammad and Sahabas? Do you think you are Superior than them? Dont you know your and mine worst enemy, Shaitan will draw a parallel path (initially) to the straight path and when you get comfortable with it that path will start getting away from the Siratul Mustaqeem, and you'll end up far away from it, even though you had the purist intention! Have you read Surah Fatiha, with translation? let me draw your attention to a hadees... "in our Islam any new thing introduced which was not before in it is Mardud (rejected)" (Sahih Bhukhari Part 1 page 371) (Sahih Muslim Part 2 Page 77) (Mishkat page27) "Any work which is done against our commandments is Batil (Absurd)" (Sahaih Muslim Part 2 Page 77) I bet you will never hear these Hadees from the Sufi Sheikhs because sufism after ibn e Arabi is nothing but new things and bidats in Islam!!!!!
i got nothing to proof or explain ,judge or condemn,the creator looks what's in your heart,and my faith in god is strong, ,and thats what i know...the word islam is deep already... and the quran is soo deep that u need vision to see not the physical eyes.
Your right but somehow it all seems so mystical to western eyes Fact is the bible says to draw close to God. It also says in the new testament to die to self Romans 12 1 and 2 state sufism so well. What i need to know is how to be still, how to be quiet and hear god
We come into the world as spirit with no identity, however to survive we need a "minder" who thinks. We create personal identity, racial, social, national etc. layers of self wrapped around the essence. Eventually we get sick and tired of trying to make life work via these roles. After many lifetimes of recreating the body we give up false identity and turn back helplessly to find ourselves. You could think of it as a game of being experiencing itself in all its forms - but a game that hurts when we are ignorant. Love to you my brothers and sisters.
the fundamental basic of every religion is the same. whether you are a buddhism, sufism,muslim, christian, hinduism or judaism. It is about searching and be connect with the Divine in which is the Supreme Being. We as human are a trinity in nature. We are Person, the Awaken Presence and the Divine Presence. The Divince Presence is the state we need to be in to be connected to the will of the Divine and be in peace. At that stage you think of nothing but a total will of submission and feel the Divine giving you the wisdom.
Agree with everything except a trinity in nature, there’s a oneness in divine nature but not a trinity, that’s what Sufism teaches and it makes sense, a divine creator has one logic and one connection tying all of creation together, there’s no one else other than one God behind it all
starting at 21:30 the background noise starts to build up and gets really loud when he really starts getting excited talking about love... any chance there is a connection there?
Is not the most complex matters told in such simple and peaceful ways through this human being? Is not that what we need to achieve to peruse to discover who we really are and is not that a wonderful wonderful journey to take when one can just come over his/her fears? Empty your minds brothers and sisters and let peace redefines you...
We are like children to God, I think God gave use Children and made the world the way it is to help us understand God and to understand how God sees us, but our dealings with children..
CANARY IN COAL MINE: The day you see people giving each other enough space on the highway (about 100 feet regardless of speed), is the day we have less traffic jams, and the day there is more spiritual concern because people will be thinking about others more and less about themselves.
It's very simple, people are trained racism and violence as ways to keep them confused and believing in fear they can't ever find a kind Goddess or God... This is done so people don't dare question/revolt against the uppermost class which is far above the rules of the nation, so send out feelings of Love and kindness and those upper class people will soon change...
"Wherever you turn there is the Face of God". Mr Vaughan-Lee says that the Sufis say this. Well, its true; but its actually a quotation from the Qur'an which has been expropriated by the Sufis (who are, after all, Muslims).
I once read that the president of Dominoes Pizza, sold off his shares and bought catholic seminaries because he was afraid of going to hell, while this is a generous action, the concern is still self-centered.. It wasn't a concern for others, it was an expense in the interest relieving oneself of a fear. Sacrificial love is rare, that is giving up of oneself despite oneself.. So dying to save others as a last resort is very hard. But so is giving of oneself on faith that others will serve them.
The only problem with thinking that God has limitations we dictate is that we may live life with that concept, and it would limit how we perceive god and thus how we treat others.. So our perception of god has an affect on how we treat others.. Just look at all the diverse faiths, each one limits how people are able to behave, that's the danger of placing limitations on god, you limit what other men can do.. That's the danger of religion.. So you shouldn't think god is of one religion.
Sufism is the heart of Islam and Islam means surrender to God; Islam does not mean belonging to a group or affiliation to any religious community. Islam is a state of soul (mind), it is a surrendering state. Lastly, Islam is not a religion of muslims, it is religion of God. So anyone can take it :)
I simply exist because I don't want to die.. I just wonder when it will end.. And I ride it out.. Until God says "okay get a job and here is what you'll do and such, I will".. But I receive no signs other than flickering lights.. I don't trust what I dream about, because I had a dream once of something I thought was the devil and it said "you are mine". To think that you are the devils, it's unthinkable. It says in the bible god loves you, but to be damned before you are dead, what is that?
We are confining everything to our religion... If it doesn't match with our conditioned notions, we cant accept it.. That's why people are uncomfortable when he doesn't conforms his views as part of established religions.. This is similar to "Lokha samasta sugino bhavantu..." LET THERE BE PEACE EVERY WHERE"..
My only issue, is that we shouldn't attach any word to the word "mystic" or "mysticism", As mysticism is not exclusive to any one religion. In fact, I would say, that the underlying universal principles of religion are what matter, and absolutely everything else is chaff. That Prisca Theologia that develops when we research every religion, when we discover truth in life, when we practice, and when we unveil the unconscious aspects of mind, we see the universal religion, the religion of causes and effects. Intentional and lucid use of Karma, of creating your own Karma, is the goal of every religion, every mystical school of thought, that is the goal to life.
just remember there are christian mystics and they don't necessarily cleave to the theory of karma. mysticism/ mystic can be applied to anyone, regardless of religion, it is the action of on having/ seeking a divine relationship, rather than fooling doctrine.
suffering is inseparable part of life as such. it has its evolutionary purpose though in all ecosystems. without pain, there is stagnation, which halters the progress and change. in mystical sense suffering can help a lot i the process of integration.
We sometimes forget that the life of the world for which we struggle so hard will end up being nothing when Death come. We must have a pure heart so that Divine light can guide us to what is the meaning of this life, unfortunately our hearts have been contaminated so that we forget who we are. So that we know the world better than GOD. If we understand our purpose of life then death is not something to be afraid of. Divine happiness will flow in every joint of our body if we really know GOD and love Him as long as we live in the world like ecstasy in our spirits, it is extraordinarily beautiful and hard to imagine and compared to worldly happiness which is only temporary. Allah is unlimited and if you are close to him then you will feel unlimited happiness that the world doesn't have. 1% for the world, 99% for ALLAH. You will feel the divine happiness! Once u try, next you will be addicted! Living happily in this world and the hereafter does not mean that you are happy in this world with wealth, popularity, harmonious family etc., but you can feel Allah as long as you live in this world, that is true happiness.
this man is an angel, his words so soothing....and you can see the divine in his eyes!
I so luv Sufism & this from a Lebanese Armenian Orthodox ...
Sufism is all about love, peace, harmony ... No radicalism, hatred, discrimination; none of those ...
I‘m a half-Lebanese Shaiva and I love this video 🙂
Allahu Akbar - Om Namah Shivaya
Bless you ♥️
WOWWWWWW!!!!!!! I love this sufi mystic....his words are powerful.
so much of what he says i can relate to that is why in the quran it says "god is so much nearer than the veins of your neck"that place is our spiritual heart.
And from what I know intellectually it is not something other than that what we call the "I"
I got many answers today. I am grateful that I stumbled upon this video.
His words are healing me
I am so happy my Doctor told me about this. What a wonderful teacher
This video has just changed my life.
I feel it...exactly as he says it and I am grateful to be here at this moment....
Yes! Yes! This man is speaking transcendent truth. It is so beautiful to see the common ground of mystics from various traditions.
A gentle soul speaks,
blessings
20 minutes in and I am a Sufi.
That’s exactly how I felt!
We all need to pay attention to what matters - this is what matters. More people need to watch!! What a gift!!
A great spirit here and wonderful questions. Thanks for such an enlightening talk that answers so many issues.
I am sooo glad I came across this video
Very peaceful voice and talk.Thank you
"Everything is made of love..." yes, I saw this. Each atom, each particle, the raw material of the universe is love.
This is very thought provoking! Loved it, thank you for posting.
You provoke my junk.
Lovely hearing the Love of God in you, and remembering Tweedie through your growing and becoming in love with the Beloved. Wonderfilled *
This is a great video especially the part on exploring our inner nature or divinity. We need "spiritual food for the soul" The inward journey.
He is truly a mystic.
When you serve others without expectation, but on faith that others will help, the astounding thing is that people will also give of themselves.. When you give of your time and concern, to others, you give them the opportunity to return that, but you shouldn't expect it.. The Miracle is the result of giving resources, time, concern, thought, etc.. It's the miracle that brings you closer to god..
Yes
Into the Mystic~I really enjoyed this conversation, his insights ring true~I understand the note he is in the symphony, he plays it well~Love Always
Gnosis, Higher Power gives you the spiritual knowledge that comes from nowhere, yet it comes from you at the same time, and you are unlimited in this knowledge. But the mystic wants nothing, they don't desire the knowledge, or any power, fame etc. That is the humbleness of the mystic. This is what I try to be like too. But when Higher Power tells you that you can manifest what you want, take that seriously. Use it to get your life back on track, not to abuse that power. I have been blessed to have the opportunity to do such a thing. I needed help, and Higher Power came and is letting me try to heal myself from trauma and illness. It is an amazing blessing to have. I will not let Higher Power down.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge I know many people just felt more enlightened from it…may God bless you always.
31:10

Thank you. Now I know what I have been experiencing for the last six years. Without a teacher, it was all experience based. I don't think I'd recommend that, as the Guru says.
Thank you!! This was helpful and I learned a lot. JAK
This is so similar to Buddhism. Very interesting.
Thank You & Blessings
amazing talk eh?......waw
I have had an experience of total love and Light. it ''feels so good that it almost hurts''.
I had a moment, not really sure how long this period lasted, after my oldest son was born and I placed him into open adoption, where my heart imploded into what he describes in talking about the butterfly wings. It completely changed me; I had no words to describe it other than Love , love love.
Fast forward 21 years, after so many other experiences of extreme sorrow, fear, mundanity, and it is still there. This is my purpose in life of recent-- to grow in that divine awareness. Nothing else matters. I thank you for this interview.
thanks for your explanation .
definitely one of the best things on the internet is this video :o)
I Like His Lessons
Oh God, Help me to Remember that which I continue to forget.
Sufism: "Those who talk don't know & those who know don't talk"
I don't think this man said much at all
Unless they are guided to talk he is totally under guidance
That was Lao Tzu. As in the Chinese philosopher. Definitely not a Sufi mystic. The real quote is “he who knows does not speak, he who speaks does not know.” Or at least that’s the most popular translation. I even googled your “those who talk” version + Sufism just to be sure and still all that comes up is the quote from the Tao te Ching.
Absolutely amazing where can I find u teacher I came from a long line of sufis u are amazing I am seeking more knowledge to fine the truth of the divine love
love Sufism
Religion is following the messengers, spirituality is following the message.
Religion is the outer(zahir) , spirituality is the essence (batin)☀️
Love that.

Have you read Surah Fatiha, with translation?
let me draw your attention to a hadees...
"in our Islam any new thing introduced which was not before in it is Mardud (rejected)"
(Sahih Bhukhari Part 1 page 371)
(Sahih Muslim Part 2 Page 77)
(Mishkat page27)
"Any work which is done against our commandments is Batil (Absurd)" (Sahaih Muslim Part 2 Page 77)
I bet you will never hear these Hadees from the Sufi Sheikhs because sufism after ibn e Arabi is nothing but new things and bidats in Islam!!!!!
i got nothing to proof or explain ,judge or condemn,the creator looks what's in your heart,and my faith in god is strong, ,and thats what i know...the word islam is deep already... and the quran is soo deep that u need vision to see not the physical eyes.
All the suffer you went trough even when you didnt commit any mistake nor sin,God pays you with paradise.
What a blessed and wise man, In the Vedas he would be what they referred to as a 1st Class man...a rare kind sadly.
sufism is about spiritually... i am a christian but i experience the same thing that he says.
Your right but somehow it all seems so mystical to western eyes
Fact is the bible says to draw close to God.
It also says in the new testament to die to self
Romans 12 1 and 2 state sufism so well.
What i need to know is how to be still, how to be quiet and hear god
Be still and know that I am God.(Bible) . Try meditation.
Asal Carforhire yes psalm 46 a great verse i love the psalms
words of wisdom.
وَلِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَاسِعُ عَلِيمُُ{115}
Beautiful!
so beautiful!! thanks :)
The miracle is the indirect result of giving, how people respond the feedback in how things change..

❤ thank you
His answers come from within.
It's just looking from different angles at the same path. Lets find reasons for harmony rather than reasons for divide!
amazing
You dont need eyes to see you need vision ! ( afala tabsiroon)
I don't know if I agree with the fighting part if it means fighting as killing people, but an amazing and very interesting video :D
To love god is to want to understand god, to understand god is to love others.
starting at 21:30 the background noise starts to build up and gets really loud when he really starts getting excited talking about love... any chance there is a connection there?
someone turned up the mic?
Thank you
This is good!
Wholeness
God bless you
Greetings From Macedonia Sufi Brotherhood ...
Is not the most complex matters told in such simple and peaceful ways through this human being?

Well said!!!
God is like a circle whose center is everywhere but the rim is nowhere to be found
We are like children to God, I think God gave use Children and made the world the way it is to help us understand God and to understand how God sees us, but our dealings with children..
Namaste!
Also note the use of symmetry throughout creation, that's a clue..
