A trip through my mind.

Wtf?

As understood from a traditional perspective, the purpose of knowledge is nothing more than to seek for the lost heart. It is not to acquire knowledge for the sake of informative gain or status or even more wealth but rather as Shams i-Tabriz put it, “to come out of this well. Not so that you can go from this well to that well.” Hence in the pursuit of this knowledge it is important to have a framework which fits into this traditional mindset. One of the key components, which I believe predicates this perspective is understanding how and in which context we ask questions. “Genuine stupidity, not insolence can be to door to ultimate truth,” says James Cutsinger. Hence asking questions for the purpose of deconstructing ones belief system or that of others does not behoove a traditionalist. This therefore means that we must ask questions because we truly have the intention to expand our horizon and our knowledge base - not to provoke emotions of anger or to promote a sense of arrogance.

“However to assert that one’s is more dominant than the other due to invalid and misinformed assertions is the plight of arrogance and is nothing more than fundamentalist impudence which must be deconstructed if we are to uphold an image of Islam which can truly combat the influence of the West”
“He who considers this (Self) as a slayer or he who thinks that this (Self) is slain, neither of these knows the Truth. For It does not slay, nor is It slain.
This (Self) is never born, nor does It die, nor after once having been, does It go into non-being. This (Self) is unborn, eternal, changeless, ancient. It is never destroyed even when the body is destroyed.”
— Bhagavad-Gita, 2: 16–20
About this girl

She is like me but with boobs and a vagina. I love her.

“Meditation is your true nature now. You call it meditation because other thoughts distract you. When these thoughts are dispelled, you remain in the state of meditation, free from thoughts. When the practice becomes firm, your real nature shows itself as true meditation. When meditation is well-established, it cannot be given up. It will go on automatically, even when you are engaged in work or play. It will persist in sleep, too. Meditation must become so deep-rooted that it will be natural to one.”

“Say, O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the mercy of God: for God forgives all sins: for He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.”
— Qur’an 39.53
“The most profitable part of reason is that which makes known to you the grace of God towards you and helps you to give thanks for it and rises up to oppose sensuality.”
— Rabia al-Adawiyya

They will never know who you are really speaking with, it will be our little secret.

It is better to conceal the shortcomings of others rather than to expose it. For concealment implies the highest form of adab and serves to strengthen the resolve and focus of the human consciousness. Exposure on the other hand does nothing more than undermine our true nature, that of mercy and compassion.

“Without Consciousness, time and space do not exist; they appear within Consciousness but have no reality of their own. It is like a screen on which all this is cast as pictures and move as in a cinema show. The Absolute Consciousness alone is our real nature.”
— Sri Ramana Maharshi
