Sunrise of Peace

One day Nasrudin discovered a human skull in the forest, when he asked what brought the skull to the woods, the skull answered: "talking brought me here". Hearing a miracle like this, Nasrudin made a report to the king about the talking skull.

The King along with his troops then asked the skull. Sadly, the skull was completely silent. As a consequence of it, Nasrudin was executed by the king. As soon as the King left the forest, the skull asked Nasrudin's head, what brought you here? Firmly Nasrudin's head replied: "talking brought me here".

The Smile of Light

"I'm restless Guru, please save my life", that's the message of one meditation student. The same thing also happens to many restless souls in this age. If you cannot be a savior to yourself, any teacher will not help much.

Learning from deep stories of many meditation students, the root of fear and anxiety is life which is jumping from one extreme to the other extreme. Some people excessively satisfying their desire in indulgence, after finding nothing there, some even experience dangerous life such as drugs, then they jump into the other extreme in the form of ascetic life such as fasting excessively.

Moon of Compassion

"It is dark Guru, please guide me to get out of darkness", that is the whisper of a woman in a deep prayer. This is an example how most people hate and fear of darkness. Not just hating darkness, some even running away from darkness. And the more souls run away from darkness, the more darkness visit one's life.

Guru Devotion

One of the beautiful books of Hazrat Inayat Kanh is "Inner Life". This last book is very similar to the journey of Japanese samurai in finding perfection. In this approach, every movement of life is seen as a mirror of what is happening inside.

Snow

Whenever encountering restless souls in meditation sessions, there is always frozen mind like snow. Due to frozen mind then they collided with a lot of things in life. Do not talk about money and power, even the idea of ​​enlightenment can make people like these collide with others.

Wings of Peace

In one of question answer session in prison, a prisoner asked seriously: "is it true that meditation can make us fly?". When it was cultivated deeper, it turns out he wanted to fly away from the prison.

This is one sign of soul who is far from health. Do not talk about money and power, even spirituality wanted to be used as a vehicle of crime. As a result, soul is restless and full of anxiety.

Wilhelm Reich in his book "Listen Little Man" wrote, soul can reach a state of health when a person lives in a balance and loving way. And when soul live in doubt and fear, a person lose the energy to be healed.

Temple of Mind

A spiritual friend shared his sadness one day, he has converted his religion three times. And he has been cheated materially many times in these three religions. At the end of his grief, he asked: "In which temple should I worship now?".

This is  a specific story of restless souls, do not talk about money and power, even religion and God can become a source of pain. The point is simple, the darkness inside will guide a person to meet the darkness outside.

That's why all religions in early stage suggest to meet the light within. Once a person meets the light within, they do not just see the light outside, they also emits the light.

Mountain of Compassion

"Why spiritual seekers should meet harming enemies along the journey?", a woman asked. To be honest, spiritual journey is not a journey which is full of pleasure. In many parts, spiritual journey is even very painful.

There are two approaches available to explain the presence of harming enemies along the spiritual journey. The first approach is mirror like approach. In this approach, the presence of enemy is only a mirror that someone still has inner battle within themselves. The harder a person fight against themselves, the more external enemies will harm them.
