  1. C.S. Nott, Nachwort zu Farid Ud-Din Attars „The Conference of the Birds“, 1954

    Die Sufis sagen, dass fast jeder Mensch mit der Möglichkeit zur inneren Entwicklung geboren wird, doch dass seine Eltern und seine Umgebung ihn zu einem Juden, einem Christen, einem Hindu oder einem Magier machen und dass er schon bald Vorurteile erwirbt und ungeachtet seiner eigenen Erfahrungen und Überlegungen das akzeptiert, was die anderen sagen. Das wird sein Hindernis. Wenn ein „Gläubiger“ – einer, der an sich gearbeitet hat – stirbt, geht seine Seele in jenen Himmel ein, der dem Zustand der Vollkommenheit entspricht, den sie erlangt hat.

    Doch gleichgültig, über wieviel „Wissen“ ein Mensch verfügt – solange er sich nicht gewissenhaft geprüft und sich eingestanden hat, dass er in Wirklichkeit gar nichts  weiss, ist alles, was er erworben hat, nichts weiter als „der Wind in seiner Hand“.

    Der gewöhnliche Mensch bereut seine Sünden,

    die Auserwählten bereuen ihre Unachtsamkeit.

  8. Some, who have closed their eyes, are wide awake.

    Some, who look out at the world, are fast asleep.

    Some who bathe in sacred pools remain dirty.

    Some are at home in the world but keep their hands clean.

    Good or bad, I’m happy to welcome both.

    I don’t hear with my ears, I don’t see with my eyes.

    A voice speaks inside my heart,

    my jewel-lamp burns bright even in a rampaging wind.

    I sense criticisms of "McMindfulness," while not without a point, under-appreciate the potential self-righting character of #meditation. We may have ulterior motives for beginning a meditation practice, but a practice of being mindfully present with ourselves can bring benefits we did not originally envision.

    The #Sufis have a story to that effect...
