MyHeartSpeaks

Within people there is a longing and a desire such that, even if a hundred thousand worlds were theirs to own, still they would find no rest or comfort. They try every trade and craft, studying astronomy, medicine and every other subject, but they reach no completion, for they have not found their true desire. Poets call the Beloved “heart’s ease,” because there the heart finds ease. How can we find peace and rest in anything but the Beloved? - Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi

The Most Beautiful

Our Lord is al-Jamil (The Most Beautiful) from which all beauty manifests His name. The ones who look to this beauty attribute it to the Owner, the Source, positioning their admiration for Him always in remembrance through what glorifies His names. The ones who don't, they have their hearts decieved, initially admiring the beauty but as soon as they realise they cannot grasp or possess this beauty, they scorn it in detest.

As when the bear that saw the grapes high up on the branch, he exclaimed, "Such luscious juicy-looking grapes!". As he jumped to his might and realised he couldnt reach them, he said in dismay, "They must be sour indeed!"
