Sayings (ePub)

Arising from the limitless ocean of wealth given to us by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Sayings is a valuable new treasury of clear wisdom that somehow manages to be universal and specific, timeless and timely, old and new, complex and simple, yet able to speak directly to every open heart. This book lightly carries us into the realm of wisdom by asking innocent questions with obvious answers: "e;If you bite into a hot chili pepper, what will happen? Shhhh, aghhh. It will burn your mouth."e; When we are told how this example applies to our own lives: "e;If you bite on something that can burn you, it will cause you to suffer,"e; we suddenly realize we have been given a memorable safeguard. Consisting of sayings of all lengths and kinds, the adages in this book appear simple, at first. As we think about them, we see that these sayings are filled with inner meanings and brimming with priceless truths we can chuckle over: "e;Evil is like a tail that keeps on growing;"e; ponder about: "e;Too intimate a friendship will blind you and be a danger to your life;"e; and reflect upon: "e;Time...changes with the seasons. If a man becomes Yaman, the Angel of Death (A.S), he will destroy himself."e; As always, the compassionate wisdom of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) never fails to nurture the soul while bringing comfort to the mind and inspiration to our everyday lives.
