If one chooses the Way of the system, if it is done according to the System, then it takes a long time. If one chooses. The Way of Love, it does not take long , relatively. But it is difficult. Life become very sad. No joy. Thorns everywhere.this has to be crossed. Then all of a sudden there will be flowers and sunshine. But the road has to be crossed first. There is nothing which can be done about it…..
Bhai Sahib teacher of Irina Tweedie
There is a lovely hadith I read over the course of my studies in Sufism. God tells the Prophet Mohammad: Whoever seeks Me will find Me. Whoever I love, I will kill , and Whoever I kill, his blood money will I pay, I Myself and his blood money. It highlights for me the reality of the path. In Sufism love is something being sentiments and feeling. Love is a divine attraction, the drawing of the lover by God towards God. This has been described as a love that comes like a raging flood and destroys everything in its way, and carries the Sufi away.
