A Star and Secrets of Guidance- Healing Power of Sufi Meditation Sufi Meditation Center

understanding our creation is

sufism it's tariqah

it's not a particular religion that sets

you apart

and to be proud of that religion to be

born into a religion

but it's a religion is a discipline upon

the physicality

means going towards the star of david

it's not

exclusive to jewish people it's it's a

star

and prophetic teaching is that follow

any of my sahabi they're like stars on a

dark night

stars are guidance our saints all

prophets

came and taught law for the general

public

and taught spiritual realities for the

very few

elite who were willing to take a

spiritual path and to seek

and the process of enlightenment

is to become a star it means once you're

enlightened you're filled with light

so when you're filled with light you are

a star you will guide in this world

and your physicality because light is

glowing from you

and you'll guide in the hereafter

because you're a star in the heavens

because the divine is showing you that

even people because we

take for granted guidance nowadays but

before when people were sailing on ships

they relied completely on the heavens

they had to look at the sky and

determine where they are

because there was no gps there was no

map quest

means all guidance was coming from that

analogy

so the divine is showing anyone seeking

allah enlightenment

the reality of that enlightenment is to

become a shining star

so najma dawood was not dawuds it was

satan muhammad

it was the divine kingdom it was a gift

by the divine

almighty that anyone applying this law

is going to unlock the power of heavenly

kingdoms

and understanding

that star is towards the station of

self-realization that star is made up of

two triangles one triangle that points

towards the heaven

and one triangle that points towards the

earth

the triangle that points towards the

heavens

represents faith

means it goes up down the lower

base is your religion

then the next is faith

pen is on top if

wow

religion faith

perfection

is when we split the star and to

understand the star

the point at the bottom the base of this

star is that

religion because that's why divine

sends you deen we have deen in arabic as

religion

whatever the religion is is meant to

tame your physicality

not to be lost in its name and to fight

over its title

but was to tame your physicality what to

feed

this body what not to feed this body

what to give to this body what not to

give to this body

how to treat myself how to treat my

family how to treat my loved ones how to

treat my community

religion is for physical taming

and taming our physicalities

is once we understood that this

point and the upward point has all to do

with the powers of the soul and

reaching the heavenly kingdom means that

once you

understood religion and applied a

religious faith

that works for you that applies a

discipline to your physicality

applies a discipline to your family and

to the your community because it's not

the law of the jungle

because we weren't created apes because

we were created in the creation of adam

which was the most noble of creation

the law of the jungle is take and harm

and do as you like

and think nothing of it but the law of

divine kingdom has nothing to do with

the jungle

it's all based on discipline and not

going beyond your bounds not harming

other people not harming

your family your loved ones not even

harming yourself

because then the second part of the base

of that triangle opens up which is iman

and faith

means that once you have religion

doesn't necessarily mean you have faith

because you can pray all day long but

not believe in the divine

not believe in the angels not believe in

holy books

not believe in the day of judgment and

not believe in destiny

and it's very apparent as soon as you

start talking about angels people say oh

don't give us that hocus pocus

it means you start talking about unseen

they don't want to talk about that

well then that's faith faith has nothing

to do with what you see

touch and feel but has to do with your

heart

it's like love how do you describe love

it's nothing that you can

you can see it's not something that you

can hold it's something that you feel

and everyone feels it

means that the second pillar of this

belief

is that you apply the physical

discipline but now the power that's

coming into the heart

the power that's coming into the mind is

that you have to develop

faith because then you apply your

physical discipline

but you have to spend all your time with

your eyes closed

because faith is built by eyes closed

why because it has nothing to do with

the scene

if your religion is just with your eyes

open

and everything based on what you see you

have not yet received faith

simple because all you're doing is

saying i accept only what i see

and what i can touch but the station of

faith and bringing down material desire

has all to do with keeping the eyes

closed

because then you apply your disciplines

and you're comfortable with

yourself you're comfortable

contemplating meditating

reciting chanting listening to

recitations

and asking oh my lord what i'm seeking

is not going to be found here

in the physical dimension i'm not going

to find it in a movie theater i'm not

going to find it

in a grocery store i'm not going to find

it in a nightclub i'm not going to find

that

faith anywhere but in the heart of the

believer

means as soon as you close your eyes and

contemplate and meditate

a power in the soul opens up and vision

through the soul opens up

because you're using the faculty of

seeing through the eyes

but there's another power seeing through

the soul

so as soon as you close your eyes and

spend your eyes spend your time

and a great deal of that time with eyes

closed the power of vision opens up in

spiritual vision

what we call hash all of a sudden you

may have like a shot of lightning that

shows you

something from the divine something

heavenly something not from this

dimension

made to build that faith that keep

coming keep

coming what you're seeking is not in

this scene dimension

but is in the unseen dimension that

builds

faith and taqwa fear of the divine

because that builds that love that you

don't want to do anything wrong

because divine is opening all these

endless mercies for you

you're feeling the angels come you feel

energies come you feel

divine visions start to open means that

that is the nectar that makes us run

towards that divine presence

now i'm going to open to you what no

eyes have

seen what no ears have heard and what no

lips can speak

because each one has his own gift her

own gift from divine presence

is then the station of faith you apply

the physical discipline you apply

the spiritual belief and spiritual

practices

all of the sciences of that spirituality

which is in sufism and most

faiths have all of these sciences these

two when they mix the chemical reaction

of

of your discipline and your faith

build the station of moral perfection

we say the station of essen means that

once you're

using that discipline and you're using

your

discipline to build your faith what's

being built

is this pyramid and the pinnacle of this

pyramid has to do with the perfection

of your character that yes you pray yes

you fast yes you do all these things

based on your religion

but you do it because of faith and by

love

you do it because of complete sincerity

based on that

of course you're going to have moral

excellence and you're not going to cheat

you're not going to steal

what divine says in holy quran if you

give that person one

coin they give it back to you and there

are people you give

back a backup bag of coins and you'll

see nothing back from it

it means that station of perfection and

faith

is divine showing you that when we can

unlock

these powers start building

this upper strength of the soul means

then

we truly have the ability now to

fight against our desires and fight

against that that pull

towards evilness the lower
