Moths To Light

A seeker journeyed to a far village in search of a certain Sufi renowned for his wisdom.

At the village he learnt that the Sufi lived on a nearby mountainside. Although darkness was falling, he set off up the mountain towards a bright light, certain it was there he would find the Sufi.

When he reached the source of the light he was surprised to find nothing but an oil-lamp with moths fluttering around it. As his eyes grew accustomed to the dark the seeker noticed a dim glow a short way off.

Walking over to it, he discovered the Sufi reading by the light of a candle.

"Why are you sitting here in the near darkness when there is a much brighter light over there?" asked the seeker.

"As you can see", replied the Sufi, "the bright light is for the moths, leaving me here in peace to study by the light of my little candle."

Love Vaaheguroo Jee with your heart, no need to run around preaching to large crowds or trying to become famous in any way/shape/form, only the true seekers find vaheguroo and their praise is heard in this world and the next, whereas the rest get left stuck in maya.

***********************************************************

Be drunk on Love, for only

Love exists; there's

No meeting the Beloved without

Love as herald.

They ask "What is Love?"

Reply, "Renouncing the will."

He who hasn't tossed will aside

doesn't know God.

The Lover is a monarch:

two worlds lie at his feet;

The King pays no attention

to what lies under his.

It's Love and the Lover that live eternally;

Set your heart on this only;

the rest is borrowed.
