The most important thing  -  and how to reach it.

 

By the Name of Allah, Almighty, all Merciful,  most Beneficent and most Munificent;  

            What is the best for a person?  What is the best for everyone?   What is most useful for a person, for a servant?    We must ask.  We must know.    ….    Eating or drinking?  Or sleeping or working or worshipping or planting or loving or building or hunting or jumping?    Which thing it is most useful for a person?   What is the best thing for him to have?  You must ask;  everyone must ask, and everyone must know.  

It is that is which signed by Prophet, Rasulallah sws.[1]   It is the Love of God Almighty Allah,  love for Allah,  and the Love of Allah.   ….  To love everything that belongs to Allah, that is love of Allah.   You love the Prophet, Rasulallah sws  because  love of the Prophet (p)  is love for Allah;     and the love of awliyas [saints],  that is love of Allah  because  awliyas  belong to Allah.   That is best thing that you may ask through your life.   As the Prophet said,  “Oh my Lord,  I am asking to love You;  and  to love everyone that loves You;  and to love everything that makes me to reach to Your Divine Love.”   …. 

This is by far the most important thing.   Every love is going to vanish and finish, to come to an end except the Love of Allah.   His Love is not diminishing but growing up, not coming to an end -  endless.  His Love is for ever.  And nothing can be much more tasteful than love, nothing – you can’t find anything.   Here and hereafter nothing can be much more tasteful and sweet than love.   And the Love of God Almighty Allah, no one can imagine its taste. 

 

And the one who has reached the Love of the Lord, Allah Almighty, nothing can make that person sad.  Sadness asking to escape from that one.  If snow coming on a pot over fire can it stay?    Snow quickly melting and after a while going to be nothing,  finishing, going to be gas and finishing.   Sadness can never reach to that person, it is prohibited.   If Allah Almighty gives His Love to a person, Divine Love, it is endless.   Can a person suffering taste the sweetness of love?   Never.   Therefore it is the biggest grant from Allah Almighty to His servant, to grant to him from His Love.

 

            And everyone must try to reach to Divine Love, less or more, must ask, must ask.   If everyone was asking for Divine Love, this world would be paradise.  No any suffering, no trouble, no problems, no crisis, no fighting.   It would be like paradise;  but people are not thinking on this most precious point for our lives, to reach to Divine  Love;  people are making their most important target to reach much more from this life and its enjoyment.   

 This life’s enjoyments  - you may begin at evening with much more desire but by morning you are finishing.   At evening he is going to be like a fish running through water, his mouth open to reach much more from the ocean.  At the beginning, at evening time going to be like that fish;  and morning becoming like a dead fish swimming on water;  and finishing.    Everyone who is asking enjoyment, physical enjoyment from beginning at evening is going to be like dead fish.   It was running to swallow the whole ocean, and morning coming finish - no more running, that person finishing as a dead fish swimming on water.  No more interest for any enjoyment for that person.

            But the love of Divinity growing up.   If you are beginning evening, at morning ending on a higher station.  From morning up to evening reaching to another station;  and from evening up to morning you are reaching to another station, and growing up.    Your desire getting much more, climbing, coming much more.   The physical body can’t carry, anything.   Only a drop is carried, and finish, becoming dead fish, like dead fish;  but our spiritual being getting much more, and growing up.  

 Love of Divinity makes you to grow up - growing and growing, and then you are much more entering through Divine Love oceans.  As if  you were given a  much bigger mouth, you w ould be  enjoying much more , much more taste, much more sweetness.  Your physical body is like a finger.  Your Spiritual being may be like this universe, double of universe, 10 times universe, 100 times universe, 1000 times universe, may be!   And his enjoyment growing.   Therefore best thing that we may ask is to ask - from Divine  Love.

   

And every loving makes us reach to that Ocean.   You may reach it through the love channels of prophets and saints.  Small channels are going to reach bigger channels, and channels getting bigger, getting bigger, and reaching to Divine Love oceans.  And the love of Prophets’ and the love of the Seal of Prophet’s p, and the love of awliyas, all of them are the small channels or bigger channels and bigger channels reaching to the Divine Love Oceans, carrying you to endless Divine oceans, Divine Love oceans.   

You can’t  reach directly to Divine Love Oceans.  You must reach it through small channels then bigger channels, bigger channels -  and thus you are reaching.   Therefore try to reach to those people who are representing  Love of Divinity.    Ask to find such people.   You can’t find them through markets or super markets to buy it;  but you can find it through the hearts, the clean hearts of awliyas, of saints, clean from the dirtiness of this material life.  Those people, their hearts clean from dunya.    You must look. 

It is not necessary to be a learned person.   There are so many learned people but yet they are not reaching to be clean through their hearts.   May be a simple person but his heart is free and clean and ready to welcome Divine Love.   Look for them.

             That cleanliness we are asking for may only be obtained through dhikr -  remembering Allah - always your heart says ‘Allah, Allah, Allah.”  That cleans your heart, prepares your heart, makes it ready for welcoming Divine Love through His Prophet. p

 

That gives you dunya and gives you Hereafter.  - If you have been granted the Love of Allah Almighty, dunya will run after you.  Akhirat, hereafter also, it is going to be for you;  but you are not looking  to that side because your eyes always asking for your Lord.   Your eyes are following Divine Face, to look. 

            You are never going to lose anything.   Leave dunya, and dunya runs after you, without any tiring.  You may run, and dunya will run after you and saying, ‘I am your servant.  I am your servant because you are the servant of my Lord.’   Dunya must say, “Oh my Lord’s servant, I am your servant.  No need to be tired.  I am running everywhere with you.”
