1. At-Tafakkur: Silent Remembrance
In this station you remember with your mind, with your thoughts and with your heart. Be silent because this is the remembrance of at-tafakkur. You have changed yourself to live in your heart and now there is no difference between your self and your heart. Your heart is in the unity because you have changed everything. Now you have really begun to walk straight in the way of God.

Continue walking. Change every quality in your heart to become a new quality full of light. You begin to live with your soul and to know the meaning of His words. His words are the jewels, the jewels of knowledge, and they are different from anything that you have known before. Now your sun (soul) rises. Before now your heart was not filled with all the holy meaning. You did not understand the meaning of the love and you could not sit under this sun because this sun needs to contain all the qualities of your heart. If you do not guard every quality in your heart, and you do not clean them, then you cannot sit under this sun and know the secret meaning of the soul.

In this station, one needs to be more and more polite, and one needs more and more love. You also need to pray, but pray more deeply. Now you begin to sit in the garden of God. In this garden you need to be merciful all the time. You need to live, every minute, with your soul. In this station, you must understand the meaning of the soul because now you sit with soul of God, and your soul has returned to His soul. You do not need to remember with your tongue. Remember in the silence of your soul, which lives in His soul. Remember Him in everything because now everything is finished, and you have lost yourself. Discharge everything outside. This station is a very dangerous one. You need to understand how to sit with your soul because your soul has changed to be full of light.

In this station, He wants you to look only with the eyes of your heart. Keep yourself only with Him, in everything because there is nothing in this station, only His soul. Put your soul in His fire, which is full of the holy love and of all His qualities. He wants you to be with Him in everything.

If you want to walk in this station, you need to pray, but pray from the eye of your heart. Do not leave the prayer which you have done before because He loves to see you praying. You are His servant and you are the picture of Him, and He wants to see you when you pray as-salat. When you stand before Him, you must be silent and you must know the meaning of the prayer.

Also, when you walk anywhere, and when you watch the world around you, your eyes need to be praying. When you look, see the name of God. See the name, the soul of God in everything. When you see animals, birds or human beings, remember and know that God puts His soul in everything. There is nothing, only His soul, and when He wants to take the secret from anything, He takes it in a minute and it is finished. This is the truth of God.

Know the secret of yourself before you die. You need to be born again and to die again. You must clean every quality in your heart. You must die and break your tomb to wake up from your sleep, and then to break your tomb again to live with the soul of God. When I speak of your tomb I mean your body because it is like a prison. But know everything that is inside this tomb so that you can come to know the meaning of the secret. You will need a long time if you do not break your tomb, but if you do break this grave, which is the life of your body, you will find everything inside. You are full of the secret reality.

Do not lose any time in this station. You can go anywhere and you can do any work, but remember the name in your heart. Be silent throughout the day if you do not need to speak with anyone. If someone asks you a question, answer him with only a few words. Pray when you work because you are doing the work of God. When you walk, you are walking with the steps of God. When you speak, you are speaking with God. You are different from any other human being because you live inside the truth. When you leave everything behind you, you can see the secret inside every human being. You cannot know any of this without deep praying.

When you reach this station, you need to be polite and sincere. Listen to any order and to any voice because it is the voice of your God. There is only His voice. Now He wants you to be special for Him. How could you come again to know what you know now, if you are not special for Him in everything that you do? You want to carry His message. If you do not listen to every word He says, in whatever you do, you cannot reach the knowledge of the truth of God. Continue in the way and do not stand still. Walk straight and do not go left or right. Allah loves everyone who walks straight because He is One.

He wants to see His love in your soul. He wants you to know how to sit in the fire of His love. If you hold the fire of His love in your heart, He will help you, and He will take your hand, leading you to Him and giving you what you want. But in this station, wait and do not ask Him for anything. In another station, you have asked Him for everything, but now in this station it is from the polite to not ask Him for anything, but to follow everything that He wants because he knows everything you need and puts everything in its place.

Remember Him all the time and give yourself to Him. Keep nothing of yourself, only Him. This is what He wants from you in this station. Thank Him again and again. This is the meaning of at-tafakkur, the silent remembrance.


2. Al-Hubb: The Sincerity of the Love
My brother, my heart, listen to what I say to you, but with the ear of your heart because this hearing contains the Muhammadan presence (Muhammadan hadrat).

Be with me in every quality of your body, of your mind, of your heart, and of your soul. Be the eyes and the ears and the hands of God. Listen to what I say, from my heart to your heart, because you need to listen now to the language of the soul. You are the beloved and you are more than beloved. You need to listen to the words of Allah. Take what He wants to give you from the mercy, from the love, and from the truth. You sit near Him all the time now, soul to soul. You feel no sadness and you are not afraid because He has wanted you from the beginning, from the world of pre-eternity (al-azal) to know only His love. Put your soul inside His heart forever, to be more and more of the holy servant of your Master.

You will see the true face of Allah when you love the guide, when you give everything to the guide, and when you see the face of God in the face of the guide. Then you can touch the mercy from the love, because its meaning has become clear within you, like a drop of rain when it comes form the sky, splashing forcefully into the water. This splash is like the fire, and this fire is what He wants you to feel in your heart. He wants you to drink from this water, to meet your Beloved because you want your Beloved and nothing else. Allah wants you to live with Him every moment because you cannot live without your Beloved.

Who can live without God? If you want this life all the time, you must pray. And also pray when you walk, when you work, and when you sleep. Pray! And Pray! Do not refuse any order that Allah sends to you. Leave everything that He has forbidden. When you give love to anyone, you are giving everything. You do not keep anything inside or outside you. You have given yourself completely to your Beloved. Why does God show you this love? To help you to erase everything from your heart but Him, the Beloved. You sit in His soul near the door of love, all the time. You have lost your self. Your qualities have been put inside the Beloved, leaving nothing of you because there is only He. If you love God, sit with your self and your heart with your soul inside His soul.

Do not speak to anyone about what He wants from you, and do not give the secret to another. Speak only to Him because there is no one in this station, only He. You have put your heart in the fire of the heart of God to inflame the yearning (al-himma) of the love inside you. When you burn only with His name, you speak with Him, from your soul to His soul, with the lips of God. You move now only with His order. You are with Allah all the time, to Allah and from Allah. If you want the himma of this love for Him, you must forbid anything to sit in your heart, only His love. This is the religion of God. When you live in this station, you live on the top of the mountain, the holy mountain. It is forbidden to see anything, only His name, or to love anyone, only Him because He has given you His soul, and He has also given you His love, for you to be special for Him. When you love Him, you change yourself to become His love because the love of Allah is the greatest love. You are between His hands in everything. You are His holy servant.

Now your soul is beginning to die. It needs this dying because it is changing to live with the soul of Allah. After your soul dies, you awaken and you speak a new language. You can know everything form this language. The language of the soul speaks only with the voice of God.

Give Him your heart, so that He can change everything inside it to be the house of your Beloved. Continue in the way and do not stand still. Remember His name and pray. This is your chance to know the secret of your soul, to be the servant sitting inside the soul of God, soul to soul, with Him. Thank Him because he has given you everything that you have, and everything is from Him. Do you understand what He says to you?


3. Al-Itlaq: The Station of Freedom
I speak here of the heart, the eye of the nafs, the eye of the soul, and the secret of God. The Muhammadan heart is the eye of the soul, and it contains more of the secret of the soul. If you ant to take the truth and to know Allah and His secret, you can only take it in your hand if you know that everything is in the way of the love. This love is different from the love of the body. If you reach the true love, the love of the soul, you reach the love of God because He is the secret love. Sometimes you think that the love comes from your heart, but if you look deep with the eye of your heart, you will find that this is the love of Allah. He is the secret inside the soul.

Know, my brother, that your heart is the center of knowledge. Listen to what it says. If you want to know the secret love, understand the meaning of every word and listen quietly to what Allah says. If you do not open your heart and close the door to the outside, how will you know the meaning of the love? When I say that everything is in the heart, I do not mean the heart of the body. The heart of Allah does not know human form. He has put His heart and His soul inside everything. You cannot touch it, yet it is very close to you – only a breath away. This is the meaning of inside. It is difficult to understand, but when you walk in the way of love, you can touch every quality with your whole body. But your body must change in everything and begin to walk to be born again, giving birth to a new soul. Then you being to be clean and alive, and to show your true self. You can listen to the voice of the soul. This voice sings the song of the deep love.

What do I mean by voice? This voice speaks the language of the soul. When you reach this station and understand this language, you understand every word of any song because you are the song. The language of the soul knows only the language of the love because it does not speak as we do. This is the language of the light.

When you reach this station, there is no darkness. If you feel darkness it is different from what you felt before when you lived outside. If you stand near the light but not in it, then there is still darkness, but if you walk closer to be with the light, you see only light. The more you clean your soul, the closer you come to the light, until you live face to face with the light of Allah. This is a different life than you lived before. Now you want to live with God, face to face with His secret because your body, heart, mind, and your self have returned to the unity.

He is the secret and you begin to put your hand on the key to open this secret. But then you are the key because the secret is inside you. There is no difference between anything outside you. You body, heart, mind, soul and your self have all opened to the secret, and you begin to live. If you reach this life and you understand what I mean in this station, you sit on the throne, and this throne is very holy. This is the throne of the truth. You are the truth and you can touch yourself buy yourself. In this station you have seven hearts from the heavens, and seven from the earth (an-nafs) and everyone one of these hearts if different. When you walk in the way, sometimes you are in the garden and sometime you are in the fire. You have everything, but know that there is no difference between the garden and the fire. When you reach this station and you know the meaning of the love, then you are the king because you are free.

I want everyone to be the heart because Allah says, “Neither My heavens nor My earth contain Me, only the heart of My faithful believer contains me.” In this station your heart walks with God everywhere, yet there is no place you can go but to Him. He lives in every quality and now you live because you do not see anything, only your God. Your heart walks with Him all the time. From this arises a war in your heart between the light of God and the darkness of the devil (ash-shaitan). What is the reason for this? Everyone wants the love, but in their own way. The darkness wants the love in the way of the darkness, but the student of the family of God only wants the love in the way of God, which is from the light. Everyone wants this love. Allah gives it to His family because He has put His love inside the heart of the student, His faithful believer. He has wanted you from the beginning.

If you find this love in your heart, thank your God. This is your chance. Send mercy to the people who cannot take the love and cannot understand what Allah wants from them. Be a child around the holy table of Allah, and be from the eye of God, and listen to every order He sends. This is from the love.

Know, my brother, that your mind needs to be clean if you want to know the meaning of the secret of the love. The mind is limited by what it believes, and in the beginning it does not know how to walk. This a very deep thing. If you want to know this mind, make it quiet and listen only to your heart because everything is from the heart of the heart. Clean your soul, and break your body to wake up from your tomb. Remember the name of God, and do not stand still. Give everything to understand every word, Then you mind will be free to give and to understand and it will be full of the love. Clean everything and change it, until there is no difference between your soul and Him. Allah!

Know, my brother, that my heart is from the heart of Allah. He has put every secret in side this heart, and it is a holy place. O, if I could speak of this place! Yet, in reality, He has no place because there is no place that could contain Him. You are not! You have no beginning and no end. You are the heart of Allah.

The words I want to share with you now are about the heart of the guide. He also has a heart like the one I have spoken about, and it contains everything inside it. This heart continues to walk with God all the time. There is no other work except to be with Allah. This heart has an eye and an ear, but they are different from anything you have known before. The guide lives all his time with Allah, and he sees Allah in every quality. He prays to Allah in every picture because he is the truth! Allah!

He sees Allah everywhere, when he walks, when he sits, and in everything. He is complete, and he is the clean mirror for Allah. When you stand near this mirror, he knows what is inside your heart,. He sees everything because his picture reflects the picture of God, and his heart is from the heart of God. Be quiet and be polite when you sit near him, and listen to what he says because his soul speaks with the voice of God. His truth is from the truth of God.

He is the cup and he is the wine, and his cup is never empty. He is the heart, the soul and the mind, and he is the secret. Do not lose any word that he speaks because he knows the meaning of every subject, and he knows what is inside every holy book. You can know after you walk in the way. Do not stand still, but continue because there is no end to this way. Allah!

At last, know that there is no difference between the nafs, the mind, the heart, the soul, and the secret. All are one. There is nothing, only He. But walk, and after you reach Him the real walking begins. He has put all that I have spoken about inside you, in your tomb, which is like a prison. If you break this prison and you search, you will find the real love; you will find yourself and what you want. After you know and you touch God in your hand, thank Him and pray to Him all the time. Be the mercy and give the mercy to anyone. He has put this quality inside you to make the peace and to be polite with everyone, if you can.

After that, you can reach what you want from God. When you live in this station, you live in the garden of the soul. There is no voice, nothing, only He. Be silent and also be silent in your soul, if you can. This station is very deep. Remember everything that I have said. This is the third station of the soul, the freedom, al-itlaq. This is the freedom of the soul. Here it is freed from its prison. You have broken your tomb and you have woken up. You are free. You will know, if you can reach. Allah!


4. Al-‘Ubudiyya: The Servant of God
If you want to be a complete servant when you reach the fourth station of the soul, then be polite, but be more and more polite. You need to believe what He says in every quality in which you live. Your qualities must be like the qualities of God because your eye is His eye and there is no one, only He. Be polite because now you being to see Him. Leave everything because this Is your religion, the right religion. Keep this religion in your heart, and do not give to anyone who is not polite because it contains your truth.

If you know the secret within yourself, show who you are only to Him. Show yourself and give yourself. Now you can see yourself. Pray to Allah because He has placed you near to Him. You are higher than the stars and the moon because you the sun of the truth. Contain everything, but with the love. Leave everything. Leave your love for anyone, but Him. Keep yourself with Him because you are the fire of the deep love. Look for the truth everywhere, in anything that you see, but in a polite way. There is no one, only He. There is no one who does anything, only He.

He created the human being and all the world from His soul, and all are servants for Him. The student needs to know and to walk in the truth. If you go left and right, from knowing to not knowing, then you are not a servant. If you walk straight and only see the truth of God, then you are the servant. Allah puts everything in it place with just one word.

He says, “The truth is made by Me. I made it to show Myself in the world. If you do not see My picture in the world, you do not understand why I created you. I have two hands – from the first hand comes the garden and from the second hand comes the fire. From the first hand comes family of God who love Me, and so I love them because they are special for Me. From the second hand come those of the family of the devil (ash-shaitan) who do not want to walk and who do not love Me. Do not follow them. Listen to My voice. I have put My voice in the voice of the guide, and before him in all the prophets. I put the complete voice in the heart of Muhammad, may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him. His the Prophet and the guide of the love. Understand what I mean, and do not ask why I make what I make. Everything is from me, but know inside yourself the reason why I have created all things. Then you can understand the secret of yourself. Do no look to anyone, and do not get angry with anyone. Give the mercy to everyone because they all need it. They are servants also, but they do not know themselves yet.”

If you live on this holy mountain, live and listen to the singing of the mountain. When you reach this mountain and you see the complete guide who knows the way of the love, listen to what he says because he is the wine. He is also the one who drinks this wine, and he is the cup of the wine. He can help everyone to drink this wine. His wine is very sweet and delicious. His wine is the truth, and when you sit near him you can see the garden. He is the truth, and he contains all the truth inside himself. When you know the meaning of every word, you will know all the meaning inside his heart. All this holy meaning is from Allah. Be polite when you reach and drink from his hand because his hand I very holy. Drink again and again and again. In the end, you will reach to be the slave of Allah (’abdullah), and there is no end to the wolking. This is what Allah wants from you. You are almost like a slave, but a very holy slave. You are a special servant of God in the fourth station of the soul.


5. Al-Ma‘rifa: The Knowing of the Truth
When you reach the holy valley, all the wisdom will come to you. Stay inside your heart when you are in this valley because He wants you to pray to Him and to understand the meaning of the prayer. Then you will come to know Him well and your soul will be clean, Each time you pray, you begin to understand what you want from Him when you sit near Him, When you reach this place, which is no place, do not refuse what He wants from you. Do not say, “No!” Listen to His voice and say, “YES,” to everything. You are the face of God, and everything comes from Him. There is nothing after you know the secret. You are the secret, if you understand, and if you believe in what He wants from you in this holy message. Give everything to him because has given everything to you. In the deep meaning there is nothing for you to give Him because you are from Him. You are the meaning, you are the truth, and you are also a mirage. When you live in the outside world you are a mirage, but inside this mirage there is a treasure. Open this treasure to find the jewels inside. Take what you want from this holy treasure. You are the treasure, but bring forth the secret jewels that are inside you.

Now you are the light, and not just a part of the light, but you are all the light. There is no darkness at all if you understand. The darkness is an illusion, but in reality the light is also an illusion. After that, you are! And there is nothing else! Walk and continue in this holy way. Leave everything, both from the darkness and from the light, to show who you are, if you can see what is after that, There is no after because you are He and He is you. But you will not understand what He means if you do not discharge all the unnecessary qualities from your body, from you heart, from you mind, and from your self to understand the meaning of the secret. When you reach this station, you come to the holy mountain. You have not only come to the mountain, but you have reached the top of the mountain. There are no sides to this mountain, no beginning and no end.

What do you see in this station? Look, but not in your heart now. Look with the eye of your soul. There is a difference because you have cleaned this eye to see the truth of the soul. It is not enough to clean your heart and your mind, but you need to clean your soul. Allah!

There is nothing, only you and He. You have found the holy light in the darkness. After you reach the light of the soul, you can see God in the light and in the darkness, anywhere! This is different from what you have seen before. You can see the secret of the truth. You can see al-wahid in everything. It is important for the inside to be a clean picture because the inside picture is the truth.

There is nothing, only He. Where are you? You are from Him and you have returned to Him. You are a mirage and you are also the truth. All the world is a reflection. This is the picture of you, and you can see your picture in this reflection, but after a time you leave this picture. You live in a holy station if you understand the meaning of the picture. Your picture is also the picture of God. Inside this picture you can know the deep meaning. All the world is a reflection. Allah!

You move from this station after a time. Before you leave, know the meaning of this station and why He has put you here. The reason He put you here is to know Him, and to send mercy to everyone. This is your message if you can carry it. Thank your God if he helps you to carry this holy message. He has made every picture in all the worlds and He has put His name in everything to know Him. Know what He wants from you and from your message. He put His name in your message. If you can see the name in everything, you can understand what He means by any word. Pray, and remember what He wants from you.

He says “You cannot reach if you do not die.” After you die you wake up, but only after you have changed everything. He will make what he wants with you. When you reach, you say, “You are my Beloved,” and your soul begins to sit with Him face to face.

This is the real life because you are standing with God all the time on the mountain of mercy. You cannot close you eyes when you reach this mountain because there are many beautiful meanings in this mountain. Do you understand the meaning of this mountain? You are the mountain! But walk quickly to reach the top of this mountain. Reach, if you can. This is the way, but walk and listen to what He says, to what He sings, and to what He wants. Do not look to the left or to the right or behind, but look straight all the time because there are no sides, and everything is in your hand. Your hand is a holy hand because your hand is the hand of God.

Put the fire in all the pictures of your life to clean them and to remove them from your life because you want to live in the house of the truth. You cannot live in this house if you do not reach the holy valley and drink from His water. In this house you will find the heart of God. When you reach and when you know and when you see the heart, kiss this heart all the time. This is what He wants from you. What do you find inside this heart? You find the holy secret of the love. Live inside this heart if you can, and do not go outside. Do you understand the meaning of this heart? You are the heart!

All the prophets, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon them all, are inside your heart, and all the holy places are inside your heart; and everything needs you. Why do you not know yourself? This is your station, but open your heart to be inside the heart of your God. This is a deep secret and a holy secret, if you know.

When you reach this heart and the secret, you know what I mean by the house of God. You can walk around this house. This is holy walking because you understand what you want from this message. You pray from yourself to yourself because God does not need this praying. But He loves to see you when you pray. Pray and pray and pray as-salat, and remember the name. This is a song, and there is no beginning and no end to this song. Thank your God because He shows you Himself. When you reflect Him, you reflect yourself. This is the fifth station of the soul, the secret of the truth, al-ma‘rifa.


6. Al-Hadrat Al-Itlaq: The Presence of the Freedom
When you want to reach this station, you need to know all the qualities of God. When you know the qualities, you know how to walk all your time. You begin to reflect the qualities of God. You see with the eyes of God. You speak, not from yourself, but with the voice of Allah. Your hearing has merged to hear only the voice of God. You walk and you move only with the order of Allah. When you know your place in this station, you see yourself with the self of God, and there is no difference between you and Him. But this is only after you have returned all your qualities to Him because everything is from Him and there is no one else.

There is no one, only He in this world, and there is no soul but His soul. When you live in this station, you begin to understand what Allah says with every word, and every word is holy. There is nothing in this station but He. You live in a different way than you did before. You are clean, you are polite, and you are the beloved and more beloved. You are the mercy and more mercy. You are polite, and more polite. Then you find that you live in the holy garden of the soul, in the soul of God. You have found yourself in His soul. You see that there is no self because your self has changed and has returned to be soul. Your heart has also changed to be soul because your body has changed to be soul because your body has been broken and has woken up, and it begins to sing. This song speaks with a holy meaning with Allah all the time. This is the truth, the truth of your soul. You have found your truth, but you need to break your soul again to become the complete soul. You need to be still more complete.

How do you break your soul? In everything that you do, know what you are doing. Know what you are doing when you walk, when you pray, and when you sing. Know what you mean by the words you speak at any time.

Now there is nothing else, only He. There are no people. There is no world. There is nothing that makes you angry, and there is no darkness. There is nothing, only He. If you understand and return to Him to live in His heart, then you begin to break your soul. You give Him your soul to fill with His love and His mercy. This is a different mercy from before. You now stand in our place and understand what he means with any word. You do not let your mind fly from place to place. When you live in your body you are in a prison, but he wants you to leave this prison and to fly to Him, to be with His soul. Clean all of your qualities. Clean everything in your world, and leave everything but Him.

When you pray, you help yourself and you help your soul. When you remember His name all day and when you do not refuse any order he sends, then He will give you everything, and more than you could want because He gives you Himself.

Everything is from Allah to Allah. Stay with this life. This is what He wants from you. He wants you to be special for him. When you ask anything, ask only Him because He loves to hear your voice. You are special for Him because you are His beloved. He wants you to be with him all the time. He wants to see Himself in you, inside your soul and inside your mind. He wants you to see that your face is the face of the guide. Listen to what the guide says to you because he is the guide of the love. When he gives you anything, do not refuse it because when he gives to you it is from Allah to Allah. Know the every order is from God and not from anyone else.

Be with Him and when you ask Him anything, He wants you to ask Him with his qualities, “O Compassionate One (Ya ir-Rahim), O Merciful One (Ya ir-Rahman), O Elevated One (Ya-ir-Rafi), O Faithful One (Ya ‘l-Mu’minin)!” This is from the deep politeness and this is what He wants from you now. When you live in this station, you live in the light because you are the light.

There is no darkness because the darkness has changed to light, and every word you speak is very holy. Do not give any holy word to anyone who is not polite because he asks you about every word that you give. Give the meaning of the truth to only those people who want to know the truth. Be holy with anyone who wants to know. This is what He wants from you when you carry the holy message. You are His face and your face is very holy. Your picture is His picture. Do not give this picture to anyone, only to Him. This is what he wants from anyone in this life. The guide is also the picture of God. He is a clean picture. When you live in this station, you live in the word. You have no beginning and no end. You are free! There is no prison. This is the presence of the freedom (al-hadrat al-itlaq). This is the station before annihilation (al-fana’), which is the seventh station of the soul, but also the first station of the way.

Be quiet and more polite. Be silent and more silent because you sit with your God soul to soul, and not only face to face. In this station he wants you to be soul and nothing else. Then you die in the soul and are born again to be like child, but a child of Allah. This child has no father, no mother, no brother, and no sister. You are a very rich child and a very holy child. Who is like you? You live now with your God in everything.

There is no life like this life. This life is Allah! This is the presence of the Holy One (al-hadrat al-Quddus). This is a deep station of the soul. Be in this station if you can. Allah wants anyone to live in this station all the time. Send the peace and send the mercy. Be courteous and be the truth because Allah is the Peace, the Politeness, and the Mercy. He is the father of the love. If you can help people, this is what they need. This is your message if you can carry it and understand what it is that you give them from the holy message. This is the song of the soul! Listen to what He says to your soul!


7. Al-Fana’: Annihilation in God
Now I feel in my heart the seventh station of the soul. This is a very holy station. If you do not open your heart and if you do not open the eyes of your soul, you cannot understand what Allah wants in this station.

Be polite, but now more polite because He wants to speak with your soul – to your soul. He wants to give you the key to open the door of your soul, so that you can find the holy meaning in everything. Listen to what he says. This is a holy song, and holy meaning, and a holy prayer. Listen to the song of David (Dawud), the servant of the soul. If you understand what he says, you can drink with your soul from the holy meaning. In order to drink, you must sit with Him. What does He want when you are sitting with Him? He wants you to sit quietly, and to understand the notes of every song and to see their beauty. He has given you this song in order for you to hear His melody, and for you to sing the song of the truth. You have found the secret and the holy garden. Now you walk around in the holy garden with the light everywhere, and you give your light to everyone, and there is no one, only the One, your Beloved. You have found the holy light. It is there for all to see at any time or in any place because He has put the love everywhere, and there is no place, only He.

This is the reason why He puts the love in every face. He puts it there for you to be holy and to reflect His light. Be polite with everyone when you reach this station because he wants you to reach the meaning of this heaven. There is no one who can touch this heaven, only you because you are the student who wants to know the truth of Allah. He wants you to take the holy key and to find tall the jewels inside. There is nothing like these jewels anywhere; they are precious and holy. You can find the secret inside the jewel, if you want o. Before, you did not know, but now He has given you all the meaning, and you begin to understand and to know everything.

If you do not love all things and know the meaning of this special love in the religion of God, you do not understand any of His truth. Before, you did not drink the wine of the special way of Allah. Now you are intoxicated by the wine, but this is the intoxication of love. This is a quality you have lived in from the beginning, before Allah created anything, and now you find Him in everything, in every face and everywhere. There is nothing like Him. He is in all the creation. In this station you know this truth. You can walk and you can fly with the light, with the holy self, and with the love. You can find all the knowledge of Allah if you open the secret of the love, to know the complete human being, the Perfect Man (al-Insan al-Kamil). He is the complete light and the eye of Allah. Continue to change everything, to clean your soul, and to know. This is a deep and long station. You need to leave everything behind to reach the heart of the soul. This heart is the holy house of Allah.

To reach, now you need to drink all the holy oil from the tree of the truth because it is necessary. You need to be like the oil lamp and to shine your light for all the world because you carry the holy message of the truth. This holy oil is from the olive tree, a symbol of holiness, of peace, and of the light of God. It is the same tree from which all the prophets, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon them, have come. It carries the qualities of the prophets, giving shade to everyone in the garden. It is the tree of the truth, and he who knows this tree knows the truth. This tree gives beautiful flowers, each with a holy fragrance, but from the wisdom, not every flower makes oil. Allah wants every student in this station to be the holy oil from this tree, and to know, and to change and to see Him in everything.

There are no sides to this tree, no east and no west, yet all sides are within this tree. There is no picture for this tree. It is from pre-eternity (al-azal). Allah has put this tree in the eye of everyone, and therefore you can see with your eyes what you want. Sometimes it lives within and sometimes it lives without, yet there is no inside and no outside. This is the holy secret because the tree is pure. It is the unity. It is as-samad. It is al-ahad. It is al-wahid. Allah lives in everyone and He puts His qualities in everything, and all His qualities are unified.

You could not climb the tree before because you did not speak or understand the language of the soul, which is the language of the deep love and the mercy. This tree is the holy bride. Its qualities are enough for you to know what the message is, and to know what you need to give so that you can live inside. There is no one who lives without this bride, and He is the mirror for the bride (who is you), and He is the heart of the bride. Now you can climb the tree if you want to reach its holiest place. This is the summit of the devotion of Laila (the divine essence of the love). If you smell the fragrance of your soul, then you are touching the key to open the house of your soul. Then you can change everything that came inside it from the beginning of your life in this world. You can see everything with a new eye, but his eye is the eye of God. After that you do not see anything, only Him. There is nothing else to see.

What do things and numbers mean in this station? There are no numbers. There are no women and no men, no angels and no ash-shaitan. Everything is from Him and you return to Him. He has made everything as a reflection, but these things in themselves are not the truth. When you see with the eye of your soul, you know this. You see what you are and what he is. Your place is from His face, yet there is no place, only he. You see, with this eye, the picture of Allah in everything. You know Who speaks with you in your life from the beginning to the end, You know Who lives with you all the time, and you know Who gives you want you want. There is no one, only One. Only He exists.

You have seen many pictures in this world, but they are not the truth, they are all reflections. Allah puts His name in everything (bismi’llah). Discharge everything and return every quality to Allah, then you will understand what He wants from you. He wants you to now Him, to know only the truth! There is nothing after that. There is no after and no before, to no up and no down because you have found yourself.

This is the truth, my son and my daughter. Write, but write with the hand of Allah. Change everything so that you listen only with the hearing of Allah. Then change everything in your life to be soul. This is a holy station. In this station, He sends you the message and the religion.

He gave all the prophets the secret, may His peace and blessings be upon them, and this is what He wants to give to everyone. If you search, you will find the unity. You want only Him and you His picture. I could not give every secret that is inside my heart. Allah!

This is the holy station of annihilation in God (al-fana’). Now you take the key, and with it you can open the door to the garden of Allah. This is a dangerous station and if you are not polite, He will discharge you. Ask Him to help you, and be polite. Do not give this station to anyone who lives outside because they could not understand this. What can they know about this? Keep the jewels which I have given you and do not lose them. Give only the picture of God. This is enough now.


The Politeness in the Seventh Station of the Soul
Now I want to speak about the student, about you who searches for the truth. After you reach the truth, you walk in the way, from station to station, until you sit facing God. When you reach the last station, you are born again, and return to be like a child, pure and clean. This is different from becoming any child. You become the child of truth. Your mother and your father are the truth, when you know. Every one of the family of God is a child because they are born again and again, many times each day.

When you reach the seventh station of the soul, you begin to know the meaning of God and you stand facing Him at every prayer, soul to soul. You do not pray from your body or from your heart, you pray with the soul. This is from the secret.

In this station you begin to know the meaning of the word because now the walking begins. If God does not help you, you will not reach. You must give everything to Him, and leave everything outside. Yet there is no outside and no inside. He is she and she is he. If you see a difference, then you are outside the truth. There are no differences in the truth. There is no one, only He, in this high station of the soul. When you complete this, He will give you what you want if you are polite with him. Know that politeness opens the door to the garden of Allah. If you reach the door, the politeness you need is different from before. It is the politeness of the soul. And if you have the soul of God, what more could you want?

If you live in this station, he gives you a drink of the secret nectar (al-rahil al-maktum). Only the believers, the people of God can drink this nectar. I hope you can open your soul to hear its secret language. The sweet nectar is from pre-eternity (al-azal). He gives you a drink of His sweet nectar because He has wanted you from the beginning. Thank Him because if He had not wanted you, you could not have reached. He has given you the chance to find this special way, the way of the deep love. Listen to what He says. He speaks to you with the language of love. You need to be polite to hear this language because if is different in every way.

From the beginning He has said, “I am your God! Know Me!” And what is your answer? Look in your heart and you will find the answer. If He helps you, you can speak to Him in a pure language. “Yes, My Lord, I am Your servant. Ask anything of me to return me to my original picture, the true picture. I want only to be Your mirror, and to see myself in Your heart and in Your soul. All knowledge can be seen from this mirror because You are the secret. Help me, my God, to clean this mirror to reflect only Your love.”

You live in the holy garden of the truth in this station. Your soul is the picture of the soul of God. This is not like any garden you have seen before. This is the garden of the soul. Your eyes have never seen what they see now through the eyes of the soul. There is no ear that can hear what the soul hears. It listens to the song of David, singing the songs of all the prophets. Its beautiful notes are from the soul. This singing is not from the voice of the tongue of the body because there is no body now. Where is the body? There is no human being in this station. You are and you are not! Listen to the singing It is the voice of the soul.

You need to know this song. There are no words to this song because something else is speaking with you. It is your soul speaking. If you do not pray you cannot hear this song. This is a very deep and elevated praying. If you do not remember His name with your voice, His voice will not sing to you. How can you hear the song of the soul if you do not send mercy to anyone you see? How can He sing to you if you do not love all the people who want to be polite and who want to know the truth? Be the guide for anyone, to show him what he is, if you can. Thank you God and say to Him, “You have given me everything I have. Nothing is from me. I see with Your eyes, no with mine. My Lord, keep me in the garden of Your soul all the time, to sit on Your carpet and to drink Your wine. I could not live outside Your garden.”

Be truthful with everyone, but first with yourself and then with your brothers and sisters. This is what God wants from you. He wants you to know only Him. When you reach this station, face to face, but in your soul, do not remember the name in a loud voice, be quiet and remember in your heart with your soul. If you say the name of God in a loud voice in this station, it is not polite because God is right beside you.

Look straight al the time. Do what He wants you to do, and do not refuse anything He asks because He knows what is best for you. Be quiet and courteous where you are. He gives you the food you eat and the clothes you wear. He has given you everything you have to remember His name. Be polite with everything you meet because you are filled with holiness. Be a mosque, if you can. Be a holy place, and pray in that holy place. Everything is inside you. You are the question and you are the answer. Understand every answer your heart gives you, and if you want o be a complete student listen to the song of the soul. Do not ask why you see any picture or why He makes something because He is putting everything in it place. There is wisdom behind everything that happens. If you see a picture that you feel is wrong or that you do not understand, you can say, “My Lord, please help me to now the meaning of this picture. Help me to be polite with this picture because everything is from You. You are the putting everything into it place with whatever You do. Help me, my Lord, to see You in this picture.”

He wants you to be like the prophets because you are the students of the prophets. You carry the message of love given by all the prophets. Why should you not do what they have done? This is your real message to give.

God will tell you his secret. Listen to His voice and understand what he says in everything inside you. You are a holy star. Know what is inside this star. This a holy night. This is the last station of the soul, and also the first station of the way, if you know what I mean. This is the annihilation in God (al-fana’)! Who are you now?
