To the mountains he gave peaks as machetes and valleys as a belt; the mountains also hold his head with pride.

In His wisdom He told the spider makes a nest to protect the highest among manusia.6
His suppressed ant to ant's waist like a strand of hair and made it the ants were friend for Sulaiman.7

He wet the soil clots with the blood so that he can take thereof of precious stones and pearls of ruby.

Friend or foe, all bowed his head under the wooden yoke mounted on the wisdom of God: and wonder, God was watching over us all.
At the beginning of time God uses mountains as nails Strengthen earth and wash the face of the earth with the ocean water. Then he put the earth on the back of the bull, and the bull was on top of the fish, and the fish was in the air. But on top of which is the air? Above are gone. But not everything was gone-and it was gone. If so, admire the work of God, even though he himself sees everything as gone. And given that his only Itself alone exists, then surely there is no one else but him. His Throne was upon the waters, and the world is in the air. But leave the water and the air, because everything God: the throne and the world was just a talisman. God is everything, and objects only have value in designation only; world visible and invisible only He Himself likewise.
Nothing anyone except Him. But also, no one can see him. The eyes of the blind, even though the world is illuminated with the brilliant sun. Suppose you can see him even for an instant, you will lose any sense, and if you can see him fully, you will lose yourself.
All those who are aware of their ignorance wore sign with rope and said earnestly, "O you who do not appear even though you make us know thee, every person is you and no one else except you stated. Hidden in body and soul You're hidden in the soul. O You who are hidden in what is hidden, you more than anything. All found themselves in yourself and they also know yourself in everything. Because thy house surrounded by guards and guards, how can we get closer to your presence? There is no heart nor mind can arrive at the essence of yourself, and nobody knows your properties. Because You're eternal and perfect, then you always embarrass the wise. What else can we say, because you indescribable! "O, my heart, if you want to arrive at the threshold of understanding, walk carefully. For every zarrah no separate door, and for every zarrah no separate roads leading to the full realization of the secret I mentioned it. To know oneself one must live a hundred lives. But you have to know God from Himself and not of yourselves; It was he who opened the way to Him, not human knowledge. Knowledge of Him is not available at the door of those clever construct words. Knowledge and ignorance here is the same, because they can not explain or describe. Opinion of people about this just wishful thinking arise in them; and the odd course to try to draw conclusions from what they say: good or bad, what they say it just comes from themselves. Being Lord of all knowledge, and out of all the evidence, and not one that can describe the Holy Majesty himself.
O, you who cherish the truth, do not look for metaphors; the peerless Being is not possible metaphors. Because none of the prophets and messengers of heaven understand sezarrah smallest; they all prostrate, saying, "We do not know the circumstances Tuan Tuan as the truth."
If so, what meaning I, who thought that I know him?
O, descendants of the first humans dumb, caliph of God on earth, 11 try to come have a spiritual knowledge bapamu.12 All creatures are created by God from nothing. prostrate before Him. When God wanted to create Adam, Adam released him from behind a hundred veils, then said to Adam, "O Adam, all creatures bowing down before Me; now it's time you accept worship-their prostration. "That one, who did not want to do this prostration-worship was changed from an angel into setan.13 He was condemned and had no knowledge of the secret. His face was so black, and then saying, God, "O, God has absolute freedom, do not leave me." 14
Most High said, "You are damned, know that My servant Adam and also the king of this nature. Today go before him, and tomorrow Ispand15 burn him. "
When the soul is united to the body, then he is part of the whole: there has never been such an amazing charm. The soul has a role in what is high, and the body has a role in what is low; forming a blend of clay concentrated and pure soul. Because of this combination, then man becomes the most remarkable of all the secrets. We do not know and understand nothing about our spirit. If you want to say something about this, you'd better be quiet. Many who know the ocean's surface, but they understand nothing will essentially inner and outer world that this is the charm that protect it. But the charm in the form of physical barriers will eventually be broken. And will you find the treasure if the charm was gone; the soul will reveal itself when the sport was eliminated. But the soul is a charm others; in matters relating to this secret, it is a fact that the soul of others. Then travel the paths that will show you, but do not ask for an explanation.
Maha highway in the ocean, the world is a zarrah, and it is a world zarrah. Who knows which one is more valuable here, precious stones or gravel?
We have risked our lives, our minds, our souls, our religion, to understand the perfection of a zarrah. Stitch your lips and do not ask anything about the highest heaven or throne of God. Nobody who really know the nature of zarrah it - ask anyone you please. The sky like inverted dome, with no provision for sure, as well as moving and unmoving. People immersed in contemplation of such a secret, which is like a layered veil veil; Similar single person pictures painted on the walls; he can only feel disappointed to see that his desire not to.
Think of those who follow the path of spiritual. Look what happened to Adam; remember how many years he spent in mourning. Ponder the flood in Noah's time and all the tribal chiefs, who are suffering in the grip of the evil ones. Think Ibrahim loving God: he suffered persecution and thrown into the fire. Remember Ismail poor, who sacrificed for the sake of love divineness. Look Yes, kub who became blind due to lament his son. See Joseph, who admirably well when in power and when the hamper, as in the well and in prison. Recall Job papa, writhing on the ground fall prey to worms and wolves. Remember Jonah, after getting lost on the road, leaving the fish belly months. See Solomon, the kingdom ruled jin. Remember Zakaria, so fiery love for God so that he remain silent when people kill; and Yahya, humiliated in front of the crowd, and his head placed on a slab of wood. Upright stand at the foot of the Cross admired Jesus when he saved her from the hands of the Jews. And finally, consider all suffered by the Leader of all the prophets, in the form of humiliation and persecution of people who are evil.
After that, is there any you think it's easy to get to the knowledge of spirituality? It was not kuranglah meaning of courage to face everything. What I would say next, because nothing else should I say, and there is also a rose was living in the bush! O Wisdom! You're nothing more than suckler; and the reason the elderly and experienced was misguided in this quest. How I, fool, will be able to get to the essence of this; and if they can, how I would be able to enter through that door? O Creator of the Holy One!
Turn spirits! Those who believe and do not believe equally drenched in blood, and my head is spinning like the sky. I am not without hope, but I can not wait.
My friends! We are both neighbors: I want to repeat my conversation with you day and night, so that you do not stop the desire for a moment began to search for the Truth.Footnote:

III. CONGRESS BIRD1. Deliberation Opened
ANY birds in the world, known and unknown, come together. They said, "There is no country in this world who do not have a king. Then how could the kingdom of birds without a ruler! Such circumstances can not be allowed to continue. We must strive together to look for it; because no country may have good administration and good governance arrangement without a king. "
So they began to think about how going to look for it. Hudhud birds, with vibrant and full of hope, came forward and put yourself in the middle panel of the birds. On his chest looked jewelry that symbolizes that he has followed tarikat spiritual knowledge; topknot on his head as a crown of righteousness, and he has a knowledge of good and bad.
"The birds are respected," he began, "I'm the one who strives in the holy struggle, and I am a messenger from the invisible world in the eye. I have knowledge of God and the mysteries of creation. If there is -like me- carry the name of God, Bismillah, 1 in its beak, it means that he must have knowledge of many things hidden. But my days passed with anxiety and I do not deal with anybody, because I was completely dominated by the love of the King. I can find the source of the water with my instincts, and many other secrets I know. I spoke to Solomon and I are the most important among his followers. Surprising that he did not ask or search for those who were not present in his kingdom, but if I go one day, disebarnya messengers everywhere, and because he could not be without me for a while then the value of my interest has mantaplah forever. I brought her letters, I retinue reliable. Prophet Solomon desired bird deserves a crown on his head. Birds were said to be good by God, which might drag feathers in the dust? Years I have wandered at sea and on land, passing over mountains and valleys. Kucakup vast room in the great flood; I am with Solomon on his journeys, and I have measured the limits of the world.
I knew well my king, but it alone can not I go looking for it. Leave your reluctance, your arrogance and your disbelief, because anyone who is not concerned with his own life free from the bond itself; he is free from the bonds of good and evil for the sake of his beloved. Be generous with your lives. Stomp your feet on the ground and step into the King's palace. We have a true king, he stayed behind the mountains Kaf.2 Simurgh3 and his name is the king of all birds. He is close to us, but we are far from it. Persemayamannya place can not be achieved, and no tongue can pronounce his name. In the face hung a hundred thousand veils of light and darkness, and in the world that no one can doubt his kingdom. He is the King of sovereign highway and bathed in the perfection of glory. He did not open myself completely though at persemayamannya itself, and on this there is no knowledge or intelligence can achieve it. The way it was unknown, and no one was steadfast heart to look, even though thousands of the creatures spend their lives in longing. Even the most sacred souls can not even describe it, and the reason was also able to understand: both eyes is also blind. The wise can not know the perfection and not too wise to observe their beauty. All beings really want to achieve perfection and beauty of it with wishful shadow. But how can you take that road with your mind? How to measure a month of fish? Thus, thousands head was moving to and fro, and just weeping and longing sigh could be heard. Many sea and land in the middle of the road. Do not think the trip was short; and we must take the lion to resort to extraordinary, because the road was very long and was in the sea. There are trudging and amazement, while sometimes smiling and sometimes crying. As for me, I'll be happy find let just footsteps away. It will be well meaning, but life without him would surely be regret. Let us not shut our souls to our loved ones, but let us exist in a state of harmonious spirit to guide us to our King's palace. Wash your hands of this life if you want to be called pengamal. For the sake of what you love, leave your life of this valuable, as Muliawan. If you submit himself with sweetness, the lover will give his whole life to you. "First embodiment Simurgh
"It was a miracle! Simurgh first embodiment happened in China in the middle of the night. A strand of fur fall in China and the fame of his name filled the world. Everyone makes paintings depicting this feather, and the composition of the painting formed his own mind and thus tergelincirlah it into chaos. This painting still exists in the painting of buildings in that country; then dihadiskan, 'Seek knowledge, even to China!'
But against manifestation was not so much fuss in the world regarding Being penah this secret. An indication of it proves glory. All souls keep thinking about fur picture impression. Because the description of Simurgh without head or tail, without beginning or end, there is no need pemerian further. Now anyone of you who want to travel I mentioned, prepare yourself and set foot on the road. "
After Hudhud finished, with vibrant birds began to talk about the majesty of the King, and the King seized with the desire that the authorities want to make them, so impatient they want to leave. They decided to go together; each becomes a companion to the other and the opponents themselves. But when they began to realize how much and the pain of their journey later, so they do not hesitate, and despite their apparent good will, but they began to argue objected, each according to his character.Footnote:
1 That is, "the name of God". On the bird's beak Hudhud there are signs that resemble letters Parsi "Bismillah".
2 Kaf = mountain range encircling the earth.
3 Simurgh = Also called Sen-Simurgh, a giant bird. In the Mahabharata, Garuda. There are two Simurgh. One lived in Elbruz mountain in the Caucasus Mountains, far from human. Nest poles made of ivory, sandalwood and aloes. He can talk and feathers have magical powers. He is a symbol of God and protector of the heroes. Simurgh else is scary ogre, who also lives in a mountain, but he resembles a dark cloud.2. Bulbul
Nightingale lovingly first came to the fore, almost mad with lust passion. Poured out his feelings in each of a thousand singing tone. And in every tone of it can be found a world full of secrets. When he sang these secrets, all the bird was silent. "The secrets of love is not foreign to me," he said. "Throughout the night repeatedly sing songs of love. David unfortunate not there where I can sing a psalm of longing love? Weeping flute sweet it is because I, as well as soy wailing; it. Kutimbulkan screwed in between the roses and also in the hearts of lovers. Always teach the secrets of the new, and every time kuulang songs new grief. When the master of love of my soul, my singing voice was like a glassy sea complain. Who heard I would leave her mind, even though he was among the scholars. When I parted from his beloved My roses, I felt lonely, I no longer sing, and not kututurkan on anyone my secret. Nobody knows my secret; Rose just tell. Once inside I was involved in love with Rose that I did not think of my own life; and only think of roses with petals that branching corals like it. Simurgh journey getting there is beyond my strength; love of roses it is sufficient for this Bulbul. For I am he that bloom with a hundred petals; what else might be expecting. Roses are blooming these days full of longing, and she smiles fun for me. If he shows his face behind a veil, I knew that it was for me. Bulbul then how can it stay overnight without the love of a beautiful pemesona it? "3. Hudhud
Hudhud replied, "O Bulbul, you who do not want to come, glare because the outward form of all this, stop enjoying the attachment is so misleading. Love Rose was prickly; he tease and dominate you. Although Rose was beautiful, but its beauty will soon disappear. Who seek self-perfection should not be a slave of love that is so fleeting. If it raises a smile Rose berahimu, then it will only fill your day-by-day and the night after your dinner with the lamentations of grief. Leave Rose and you should be ashamed of yourself; because, with each of the new Spring, she laugh and then she was not smiling anymore. "Story Telling Hudhud Miss King with Dervish
A king had a daughter as beautiful as the moon, which is loved by everyone. Lust terbangkit by sleepy eyes glazed and pushers sweet presence. His face was as white as camphor, musk-black hair. Jealousy lips dry the water the most beautiful gems, being liquid sugar was there in shame.
Because the fate of a dervish will get to see the daughter was cursory, and the bread was holding fell from his hand. The daughter pass through like a flame, and when passing, daughter laughed. Seeing this, the dervish had fallen in the dust, almost dead. He could not feel calm, day or night, and he cried prolonged. Daughter smile when reminded of it, he shed tears like clouds dropped rain. Love this ferocious continued for seven years, during which he lived on the streets with dogs. Finally, the escort the princess decided to kill him. But she was talking to him quietly; he said, "Where there will probably be an intimate relationship between you and me? Go quickly, or you'll be killed later; Do not stay again at my door, but got up and went. "
The poor dervish replied, "On the day when the servant falls in love with Princess lord, servant bercuci hands of this life. Thousands who sacrificed himself as a servant to the presence of the beauty of the Lord. Because the master accompanist to kill the servant unjustly, it would answer the usual questions this. On the day when the Lord was the cause for the death of the servant, why Mr. smiling slave? "" Oh you fool, "said the princess," when I know that you're going to humiliate yourself, I smile because of pity. I purposely smile of pity not because wanted to deride. "Saying so, he was gone like a streak of smoke, leaving it stunned dervish himself.4. Nuri
Then came Nuri with sugar in its beak, green dress and golden curved collar around his neck. Rajawali only mosquitoes in the brilliant beauty; Tapestry green earth is the reflection of feathers, and said he is molasses. Listen to him: "As soon as I was this charming, until the cruel-hearted man locked me in a cage of iron. Tied up in this prison, I was longing for immortality water sources are guarded by Khizr. Like him, I was dressed in green, for I am Khizr among birds. I want to go to the source of this water, but moths are powerless to lift himself into the great Simurgh wing; springs Khizr enough for me. "
Hudhud replied, "O you who have no ideals of happiness! Who would not want to leave her life, not a creature. Life is given to you so that when you can have a noble companions. Walk the road, because you're not almond, you're just skin. Come among those noble and travel the road they are happy. "The enthusiast God and Khizr
There was a man, mad because of his love for God. Khizr asked him, "O perfect man, will you be my friend?"
The man answered, "You and I could not put together, because you have plenty of water to drink immortality so that you will always be alive, I want to give my life. I can not be friends, and even how to support my own life I do not even know. While you're engrossed in maintaining life, I sacrificed my life every day. I'd better leave you, like birds avoid the snare, so, goodbye. "5. Peacock
Subsequently came the Golden Peacock with feathers hundred-how must kuperikan? - A hundred thousand color it! She demonstrated her, circled here and there, like a bride.
"The painter of this botanical world," he said, "use a brush Jin in his hands to form me. But although I am Gabriel among birds, do not deserve my fate envied. I beramah-ramahan with snakes in heaven this world, and because it is the abject me expelled. They separated me from the position entrusted to me; those who believe it myself, and legs became my prison. But I always hope that there is the signpost that generosity would lead me out of this dark place and took me to the big houses that remain standing forever. I did not expect to get to the presence of the King you mentioned, it is enough for me to get to the gate. How can you expect me to be trying to get to the front of Simurgh because I have lived in the world of heaven? Nothing else except a desire to stay there again. Nothing else that mattered to me. "
Hudhud replied, "You go astray from the right path. King's Palace was much better than sorgamu. Nothing is better for you other than trying to get there. The palace was home to the soul, her immortality, he desires our true purpose, settlements heart, the seat of truth. The sublime that mighty ocean highway; Heaven is just a tiny speck worldly grace; everything that is not the ocean was just daunting. If you can have the ocean, why do you want to find a speck of dew evening? Will he who knows the secrets of the solar idly playing with sejemput dust? Is there one who has everything to deal with what is only a part of it? Is there a soul to deal with limbs? If you want to be perfect, look for universality, choose universality, be universality. "Teachers and students
A student asked the teacher, "Why did Adam have to leave heaven?" The Master replied, "When Adam, the noblest of all creatures, go to heaven, he heard a voice that echoed from the invisible world, 'O you who bound in heaven worldly a hundred ties, know that anyone in the world it is known because of what happened between him and I, Kupisahkan of all that exists, that it is only bound to Me alone, his true. "For a lover, a hundred thousand lives was pointless without the beloved. He lives for something else from him, let alone that Adam, had been banished. The inhabitants of heaven knows that the first one should they submit is their heart. "6. Ducks
Ducks timidly came out of the water and went to the court, dressed in the most beautiful robe. "Tiadalah would ever witnessed being more interesting and more sacred than me," he said. "Every time I do a pure as the norm, then spread out prayer mats in the water. Where the birds can live and move in the water like me? In this case I have an amazing ability. Among the birds I berpenglihatan converts the clear, clean dress; and I live in a sacred element. There's nothing more rewarding to me than water, because there I got my food and I have permukimanku. When afflictions troubling me, kubasuhhilangkan everything in the water. Provide clear water of the materials in the river where I live; I do not like to be dry land. That is, because I'm only dealing with water, why should I have to leave? The life of every living thing of water. How am I going to be able to traverse the valleys and flew to Simurgh? How can I sort this satisfied with the surface of the water, was longing to see the Simurgh? "
Hudhud said, "O you, who finds joy in water that meets all your life! Laze you sleepy there-but the waves come in and you're swept away Air only good for those poker-faced beautiful and clean. If you like it, all right! But how long will you stay clean and pure like water? "
People Salih story
Someone asked a aulia, "How would the world always meets our minds it? "He said," Both the world above and the world below like a drop of water, existing and not existing. That is a drop of water, which reveal themselves at first, and then take a variety of forms of beautiful things. All this embodiment like water. Nothing is harder than iron, but iron also know that airlah origin. But everything berasas on the water, though no iron, no more real than a dream. The water did not remain. "7. Chicken Forest
Partridge then approached, beautiful but arrogant. Blushing he rose from his pearl treasure in the dawn clothes. With an eye robin I die or find the precious stones and blood red beak he flew while slightly cocked head, wearing a belt and sword.
He said, "I love wandering among the ruins because I like precious stones. The objects had lit a fire in my heart and this makes me feel satisfied. When I burned a desire to get it, pebbles that had seemed to swallow even takes on a blood stained. But often I found myself among the stones and fire, do not do anything and confused. O my friends, see how I live! Could the creatures awaken sleeping on rocks and pebbles swallow?
My heart wounds hundred grief, because my love will be in precious stones has been menambatku to the mountain. The love of other objects are mortal, being royal jewels were eternal; jewels that eternal essence of the mountain. With a belt and sword I'm always looking for a diamond, but I still have to find a substance that is superior sifataya of precious stones, pearl-even was not as beautiful as it is. Also, the road to Simurgh difficult, and tied my feet on the stones as if the feet were attached on clay. How could I hope to go boldly before the great Simurgh, with hands on head, feet in the mud? Let Keluhuranku was clear, and he who does not participate in this goal does not need to be considered. "
Hudhud said, "O you that contain all the colors of stone, and give you a little lame lame reasons as well. Blood heart tarnish claws and beak and your seeking it degrading yourself. Is it that not only the jewel colored stones? However, preference will be gems have made your heart hardened frozen. Without those colors gem just plain small pebbles; he who has the quintessence of not leaving the outer skin sparkling sake alone. Look for the true gems of pure quality and do not be satisfied anymore with a stone. "Sulaiman ring
There was no stone ever be as famous as a rock on the ring of Solomon, but this is a stone that is very humble, no more than one-eighth of its weight dinars. But when Solomon made a cap of stone, the whole world is under his command. Hukamnya confirmed his power and extends to the far horizon. Despite the wind carry the word-his will in all directions, Solomon only had a stone weighing just one-eighth dinars. "The kingdom and my power depends on this rock, so from now nobody will have this much power.
Although Solomon became the great king because of this cap rock, but this is the thing that slows its progress also on the spiritual path; so he went up to Heaven Adin five hundred years later than the other prophets. If a stone can give rise to such a situation in Solomon, what others might be caused to the sort of creature are you, chicken Forests poor? Keep your heart from the ordinary jewel. Look for original jewels and do not stop looking Jauhari True.8. Humay
Now on the face of the assembly stand Humay, 1 Giver obscure it, with shadow that bestows glory of the kings. Because of this he received the title of "Humayun", the fortunate, because of all the creatures, he was the great passion of desire. He said, "The birds on land and at sea, I'm not a bird like you. Passion moves grandiose desire to meet me and I was separated from other creatures. Kujinakkan dogs have passion, because it is blessed Feridun and Jamsyid. Kings appointed as the influence bayangku shadows, but those who do not like me beggar character. Give a dog a bone in my soul and my soul at stake as collateral against him. How people can be turned away from me causing kings with bayangku shadows. Under the auspices of my wings every person looking for patronage. Shall I need friendship with the great Simurgh existing when the glory due to the nature pembawaanku me? "
Hudhud replied, "O slave vanity! Do not develop again your shadow and do not brag about yourself again. At this time, much of the power is abundant at the king, you're like a dog that is busy with a sliver of bone. God forbid you sit Khosru descendants on the throne. But suppose also your shadow placing the ruler on the throne of them, tomorrow they will meet with misfortune and will lose their glory forever, whereas, if they do not see your shadow, they would not be facing calculations so awful in days later. "Alim Mahmud and People
A person who is pious, who is on the right road, Sultan Mahmud2 saw in a dream and said to him, "O King happy, how the situation in the Kingdom of Baka?" Sultan said, "At my body if you want, but do not disturb my soul. Do not say anything, go, because here there will be mention of Kingship. Riya only my power, pomp, pride and sheer perversity. Can power exalts a handful of soil? Power belongs to God, Lord of the Universe. Now that I know the weaknesses and kedaifanku, I was ashamed of my status as a king. If you want to give a title, give me the title of "the poor". Lord King of this, then do not call me the king. Kingdom belongs to God; and I am pleased to now be a regular dervish in the world. Semogalah God provides memurukkan hundred wells for myself that I did not have to be a king. More alright for if I become collector remains of crops in wheat fields. Call Mahmud slave servant. Convey my blessings to my son Masud, and tell him, 'If you want to be wise, notice warning of the particulars of your father.' May wither wings and feathers Humay, who menaungkan shadow me! "Footnote:
1 Countrymen imaginary creatures which in Latin is called gryphus, having a lion-headed and winged eagle. Humay is gryphus beards. Billed as the largest bird of prey in the Old Continent. Steal the bones of various animals and destroy it in the rock for the tomb. Humay shadows falling on someone's head is the address that the man would be crowned king.
2 Life in 969 - 1030. The capital at Nishapur and palace in Gazna. Gathered in the palace many poets, artists and scholars.9. Subterfuge Rajawali
Subsequently came Rajawali, with head erect and attitudes as soldiers. He also said, "I'm happy to accompany the king ignored other creatures. I closed my eyes with a cap so that I can sit in the king's hands. I highly trained in manners and run temperance as believers so that when brought before the king, I can perform my duties exactly as expected. Why did I have to meet with Simurgh, though in a dream? Why so I had to rush him? I do not feel called to participate in this journey, I am satisfied with the bite of the hand of the king; palace pretty good to me. He was playing for the pleasure of the king, to get all his wishes; and that pleases the king, I only have to fly through valleys are endless. There's no other desire except raring spend my life in this way both to serve the king and with hunting in his favorite. "Responsible Hudhud
Hudhud said, "O you who are bound at the outward form alone and do not care about the essential values, Simurgh is a decent creature with his position as king, because his authority is second to none. There is no true king who carry out his will without thought. King so trustworthy and forgiving. Though earthly king may often fairly well, but perhaps also he was guilty of unfair. Who is closer to him, more comfortable position anyway. Believers forced to oppose the king, then his life was often in danger. Because the king can be compared to the fire, then stay away! Oh, you who have been living adjacent to kings, be careful! Listen to this: It was once a noble king, he had a servant whose body like silver. The slave so that it can be very dear to the king briefly parted thereof. The servant gave the most beautiful clothes and placed on top of her friends. But sometimes the king was entertained themselves by playing darts, and usually put an apple on top of his favorite servants and the use of the apple as a target. And when the king releasing his arrows, the slave becomes pale with fear. One day someone said to the servants, "Why is your face is gold? You're the favorite of the king, why pale as a corpse? "He said, 'If the king almost on me and not the apple, then he said, has almost become a servant of the most useless thing in the palace; But when the arrows hit the target, everyone said it was because of skill. As for me, in this sorry state, can only hope that the king would always release the dart to the right '! "10. Stork
Stork came very hastily and immediately began to talk about himself, "My house is the beautiful near the sea between the lakes shore, where there is no who also heard singing. I so do not like to attack so that nobody feels hard because of me. Sad and gloomy I stood musing on the edge of the salty sea, my heart is longing for water, because if there was no water, what will happen to me! But since I do not belong to those who live in the sea, I like dead, dry lips, on its shores. Although the water is turbulent and the waves breaking on my feet, I could not swallow iota; but if the oceans lose water even though little else, my heart will be burnt by the unrest. For creatures like me, my passion for the sea is enough already. I can not afford to go looking Simurgh, then please forgive. How could a creature like me, who are just looking for a drop of water, can achieve unity with Simurgh? "
Hudhud said, "O that do not recognize the sea, do not you know that the sea is full of crocodiles and other creatures are dangerous? Sometimes the water is bitter, sometimes salty; Sometimes the sea was calm, sometimes turbulent; ever-changing, never fixed; Sometimes the ocean tide, sometimes retroactively. Many large creature had swallowed perished in tubirnya deep. Divers at the bottom holding his breath so as not thrown up like a straw. The sea is the element that is totally without loyalty. Do not trust him or he would kill life with merendammu. The sea was agitated because of love for his friend. Sometimes he furl huge waves, sometimes she noises. Because he can not get what he wants, how you will find there a resting place for your heart? The oceans are the tidal creeks on the way to a friend; if so, why would you stay satisfied here, and not trying to see the face of Simurgh? "Alim people and Oceans
Alim commonly reflect on the meaning of everything, go to the Ocean and asked why Ocean wear blue because this color is the color of mourning, and why she was boiling without fire?
Oceans answer to the contemplative man, "I'm worried because apart from my friend. Because of my flaws, I do not deserve him; then I wore blue clothes as a sign of regret that I guess. In grief, beaches dry lips, and caused the fire of my love, I'm in this gebalau. If it can be heavenly kuperoleh speck of Al Kausar, 1 it will be the point of falling gate of eternal life. Without this speck I would die of longing passion along with thousands of others, who perished on the way. "Footnote:
1 Ponds in heaven. Semantic meaning: Circumstances abound.11. Owl
Owls appear to face with the face of confusion, and he said, "has been chosen as the place I live a dilapidated house that had collapsed. I was born among the ruins and there I get pleasure - but not in drinking wine. I knew hundreds crowded place inhabited, but most are in turmoil and the other in hostilities. Who wants to live in security must go to the ruins, like madmen. When I scowled at them, this is due to the hidden treasure. Love treasures pulled me there, because the treasure was found in the debris debris. I was able to hide the longing in my attempts to look for it, and hope to get a property that is not protected jejimat it; if my feet can find it later, it will be my heart's desire was reached. I do believe that the love of Simurgh was not a myth, because such love is not internalized by those who do not care; but I was weak, and are far from certain to be love, because I just love the treasure and these ruins. "
Hudhud said to him, "O you drunk on love of wealth, put you can find the treasure! Then surely you will die anyway over the treasure, were living had slipped away before you reach the lofty goals which at least has you realize anyway. The love of gold is characteristic of those who do not believe. He makes an idol of gold is twinning Thare.1 not you might want to be followers of As-Samiri2 of the nation of Israel who make the golden calf? Do not you know that those who have been corrupted by love of gold depraved, then such counterfeit currency with a face he will exchange similar mice, on the Day of Judgement? "The curmudgeonly
An alcoholic hide a case of gold, and soon after that, death. A year later his son in a dream saw the father transformed to be a rat, Sebak eyes with tears. Rats were running back and forth on where gold was hidden. The boy asked him, "Why are you here?" Replied the father, "I used to hide gold here and now I went out to see if anyone has to know." "Why are you transformed to be a rat?" Asked the boy. His father said, "The soul of people who have sacrificed everything for the love of gold will transform this kind. Remember well about me, o my son, and take advantage of what you have seen this. Leave love of gold! "

Then came the Sparrow, weak-bodied and soft-hearted, trembling, like a flame, from head to toe. He said, "I mused confused and discouraged. I do not know how to live, and I like brittle hair. Nobody will help me and I was not as strong ant-powered. I do not have fuzz or lar1 -bit not. How could a weak creature like me trying to get Simurgh? Sparrow would not be able to do so. No less than those in the world who seek unity, but for me this kind of creature, it is not appropriate. I do not want to start the journey sesusah it to find something that is impossible to achieve. If I have to leave for the palace to Simurgh, I will die in the street. Then because I did not deserve to strive toward it, I will feel satisfied here looking Yusufku in these wells. If I can find it and pulling it up, I will soar with him from the fish to the moon. "
Hudhud replied, "O you, who in desperation sometimes sad and sometimes happy, I will not be fooled by reason fictitious. You're a little hypocritical. Also in your heart you showed humility hundred mark keriyaan and vanity. Needless to speak again, sewing lips and foot step. If you burn, you will burn along with the others. And do not compare yourself with Joseph! "Stories about Ya'kub
After Joseph was taken away, then his father, Jacob, loss of eyesight because blood tears flowing from his eyes. Yusuf always on his lips. Finally the Angel Gabriel came to him and said, "If you say another word 'Joseph,' will erase your name from the list of prophets and messengers." When Ya'kub received a mandate from God, the name of Joseph never again spoken of his tongue, but he do not stop repeated them to myself. One night he saw Joseph in a dream, and originally wanted summoned, but remember God's commands, he pounded his chest and gasped complaints sad of heart clean. Then Gabriel came: "God said that even though you do not pronounce the name 'Joseph' with your tongue, but you have gasped complaints, and thus, damaging many blessings taubatmu benefit."Footnote:
1 Fur rough in poultry. - H.A.13. The debate between Hudhud and Birds
Then all the birds, one by one, stating the reasons for that is not wise. If you do not repeat it all, excuse me, the reader, because it would be too long. But how can such birds hoping to truss Simurgh on their paws? Hudhud then continued his speech:
"He chose for his own life Simurgh had to fight himself boldly. If uric tembolokmu can not digest grain of wheat was, how are you going to participate in the party Simurgh? If you hesitate with a sip of wine, how are you going to drink large sepiala, o Bayangkara king? If you do not have a power zarrah, how will you find treasures solar? If you can be immersed in a drop of water, how will you be able to leave the ocean floor to the top of the sky? This is not an ordinary perfume; nor for the task he faced were not clean. "
After the birds contemplate talks, they said again on Hudhud, "Have kaupikul itself the task of showing the way to us, you're the best and strongest among birds. But we are weak, without fuzz or lar, so how we will be able to finally get to the front of Simurgh Majesty? When we arrived there, would have been a miracle. Tell us about the amazing realization that with a parable, or, because of this blind as our circumstances, we would not understand at all this secret. If there is a linkage between this Being with ourselves, surely it would be much easier for us unspeakable. But, as we know, he may be compared to Solomon, and we with ants begging. How can the insects in the bottom of the well to climb up to the Simurgh great place? Will nobility teruntuk for beggars? "Responsible Hudhud
Hudhud said, "O birds do not aspire! How love blossomed beautifully in the heart that had no proper sense? Asking questions like these, which seemed to forgive you, it would be useless. Who the fuck left with open eyes towards the goal as he makes his living as goods game.
When Simurgh embody himself beyond the veil, resplendent as the sun, he raises thousands shadow on earth. When he threw the shadows of view on this, behold, there are so many birds. Such a variety of bird species seen in this world is the shadow Simurgh. So know o birds are stupid, that once you understand this, you will understand too seriously you affinity with Simurgh. Ponder this secret, but do not reveal. He who acquire this knowledge sink in kemaharayaan Simurgh, though he should not assume that he is God in it.
When you become as I say it, it will mean that you are God, but you will be immersed in God. Is there a submerged creature thus becomes changed its form? If you know who you are shadows, life or death would not be a problem for you. Had Simurgh not want to embody himself, surely he would not develop bayangbayangnya; if he wants to stay hidden, shadow surely will not be visible in this world. All caused by shadow became visible in the eyes. If the mismatched your soul to see Simurgh, there will your heart be also a mirror bright, mismatched to reflect its shadow. It is true that there is no eye that is able to contemplate and admire its beauty, it also can not be understood with the mind: no one can be tasted Simurgh as he tasted the beauty of this world. But with the overwhelming mercy he has given us a mirror that reflects his own reflection, and this mirror is the liver. Please review it in your heart, and there you will see his shadow. "Stunning king
Was once a king beautiful and fascinating incomparable. Dawn is sekilat of his face, radiant fragrance Angel Gabriel, and the kingdom of beauty is a storage Quran secrets. The whole world reverberated with fame, and love felt by every creature. When he was driving in the city, diselubunginya crimson face with a veil; but those who only see the veil only be confusion, and they pronounce his name soon so tied. Thousands had died because of love; others sacrificed his life for sure better soon die rather than go through a hundred a long life, but separate from it. It's amazing! They could not linger nearby, nor will they be able to live without him. But, for those who hold, he will show himself; those who could not bear to be satisfied just to hear his voice. As a result, the king ordered that made a mirror so that his face could be seen indirectly. The mirror was placed in the palace, and he was facing and looking in the mirror, so that all can see his shadow.
Such was also the case with you. If you love your best friend, you know that your heart is-length mirror, look in the mirror you king in persemayamannya sublime. Everything seemed to be none other than the shadows of the Simurgh secretive. If he has revealed its beauty to you, then you will get to know the beauty of it back to the shadow. Is there a thirty birds "Simurgh" or forty, you will only see its shadow. Simurgh is not separate from the shadow; looked the opposite is not true; the one and the other together there. Look for reunification; or more clearly, leave shadows, then you will find that secrecy. Thanks to good fortune, you will see the Surya in shadow; but if you get lost in the shadow of it, how are you going to achieve unity with Simurgh?Mahmud and Ayaz
Ayaz taxable disturb evil influence, and must leave the palace of Sultan Mahmud. In despair, he became discouraged and lying on her bed, crying. When Mahmud heard this, he said to one of his servant, "Go meet Ayaz and convey my words, 'I know that you're upset, but I'm also in such circumstances. Although my body away from you, but my soul is close. O you who love me, I did not leave you for a moment. Indeed evil influence has been detrimental to annoy someone so charming. '"He added to his servant," Go away, go like fire, like water that invaded go, go like lightning precedes thunder! "
The servants also went like the wind and briefly even up to where Ayaz. But he found the Sultan was already there, sitting in front of his servants. And shaking the servant was said to himself, "Unfortunately serve this king; surely I will be killed today. "So saying, the Sultan," Can servant sure the lord that the slave does not stop for a moment to sit or stand; how the lord is here first of a slave? Believest lord's slave? When the servant had done remiss, however servant of servants to admit mistakes. "
"You are not Mahram," 1 said Mahmud, "then how might you be able to go as I am? I come unseen. When I asked how Ayaz it, my soul has been with him. "Footnote:
1 The true meaning: a close relative. Therefore, here can be defined: the familiar.
They Hudhud 14. Telling the journey Intended
After Hudhud finished speaking, the birds began to learn about the ancient secrets and their linkage with the Simurgh. But even though they are gripped by the desire wish to travel, but they are evasive to depart due to doubts still always on his mind. So they said to Hudhud, "Did you expect us to leave our quiet life is soon? Our birds are weak themselves may not expect to get a path to the sublime, where Simurgh lives. "
Hudhud replied, "I'm talking to you as a guide. He who does not care about the love of his own life; to love sincerely, anyone should forget about himself, whether he zahid1 or people who live freely. If the desires of you not in harmony with your soul, korbankanlah it, and you will get to your destination. If the figure of lust in the way, campakkanlah it; then navigate to advance your eyes and concentrate. Fool would ask, 'What is the relationship between faith or infidelity with love?' But I said, 'Are those who love to care for his life? Who love to burn any hope of harvest, he hack sword to his throat, he stabbed his own body. With love arise sorrow and heart blood. Love-love that is very difficult. '
O Carrier trophy! Fill my cup with the blood of my heart, and if nothing else, give me sediment. Love is pain that is unforgiving, which swallows everything. Sometimes he snatched the veil of the soul, sometimes pressed them together. Sezarrah love better than all that exists between all the horizon, sezarrah pain better than love happy that exist on all those who love. Love is the marrow of every creature; but there is no real love without suffering real. Who cling to love is not concerned with faith, religion or infidelity. Love will open the door for spiritual poverty and spiritual poverty will show you the way of kufr. When nothing remains anymore, either infidelity, and religion, then your soul will be gone; only then can you find worthy of secrecy it -if you want menjajakinya; This is the only way.
So go forth, without fear. Leave all that childish, and more than all that, tabahkan heart; For a hundred changes will happenings you can naturally without unexpectedly.Shaikh story San'an
Shaikh San'an holy man in his time, and has perfected himself up to a high level. Fifty years he lived in exile along with four hundred of his students who train themselves day and night. Shaikh was a lot of knowledge and was awarded the outer and inner guidance. Most of his life had were spent in worship-pilgrimage to Mecca. Salat and fasting is not counted again and he did not leave the slightest deeds Ahlus Sunnah. He can perform miracles, and his breath heal the sick and suffering.
One night he had a dream to go from Mecca to Greece and there worship; and gripped sad awake from a dream that suppress this, he said to his disciples, "I have to leave for Greece wanted to see if I can find the meaning of this dream."
Along with four hundred of his students he left Ka'aba and in time came to Greece. They walked from end to end of the country, and one day happened to arrive at the place where it looks a pigeon sitting on the ledge. This Dara Christians, and airmukanya shows that he has a disposition like contemplating the problems concerning God. Beauty as the sun in the series its glory, and majesty like the names of the constellations. Jealousy will draw the virgin light, the morning star was long melena above his home. Who caught him in the girl's hair would wear a belt Christians, and the lust perched on manikam ruby lips will feel confused. Morning looks darker in color because black hair of the girl, and the state of Greece appears wrinkled because of the beauty of the mole. Both eyes bait for lovers, and arched eyebrows are two blades twin crescent moon above. When the power to make his eyes shine, a hundred hearts became prey. Her face lit up like a flame that is alive, and manikam ruby moist lips can create a universe of world hunger. Feathering his limp is a hundred daggers, and her mouth is so small that only words can not even then. Waist, slender like a strand of hair, squeezed along the circumference zunnarnya2 and silver curve of his chin so turn like the sermons of Jesus.
When she lifted her veil sesudut, sheikh heart that was raging; and hair piece just tied her waist with a hundred zunnar like. He could not take his eyes from this Christian girl, and so much love to the point slide off of his hands. Infidelity of her hair scatter themselves in the Shaikh faith. Shaikh was also called out, "O how great the love I have for him. If religion liberates us, how lucky heart! "
When followers understand what has happened and to know melibatnya circumstances, they too dizzy to think about it. Most began to revive him, but he would not listen. He just stood there day and night, his eyes fixed on the ledge, and his mouth dropped open. The stars were shining like lelampu borrow heat from burning the holy man's heart. Her love grows larger until he forgot himself. "O Rabbi," she prayed, "in the life of this servant, the servant had been fasting and suffering, but have never had such a servant; servant in doom. Night long and as black as his hair. Where is the light of heaven? Are there complaints servant has been extinguished or hid the lights because of jealousy? Where is the good fortune servant? Why he did not help the servant of the love that girl? Where the mind slave in order to be able to use the knowledge servant of the servant? Where is my hand to cleanse the head servant? Where are the servants of the foot to walk to get lover servant and the servant's eyes to see his face? Where is the servant lover who will give him a slave? What is the meaning of love, grief, this pain? "
Friends sheikh came again to him. One said, "Wake up Mr. and get rid of this temptation. Hold on to yourself and do you yourself pure as specified. "The sheikh replied," Do not you know that tonight I've done a hundred times as sacred, and with the blood of my heart? "Another said," Where are the beads sir? How can Mr. pray without it? "He said," It has been kucampakkan string of beads so that I can wear a zunnar Christians. "And another said," O sheikh holy, when Mr. sin be quick to repent. "" I repent now, "he replied, "because it has followed the law correctly, and I just wanted to leave the absurdity of it." Another one said, "Leave this place and go to worship the Lord." He said, "If only statue pujaanku here, will layaklah me to bow in front of him. "Another said," Then, sir, nor seek to repent! Do Tuan is no longer a follower of Islam? "The Shaykh replied," No one who repents over me, feel sorry that I've never made love. "And another said," Hell waiting when Tuan Tuan continue also in this way; take care of yourself sir, the Lord will be spared from it. "He said," If it is a hell, then it is just out of my complaints complaints, which will fill the seventh hell. "
Knowing that their words not the slightest impression on the sheikh that even though they pleaded with him all night, then they went away. Meanwhile, the morning like the Turks with sword and shield of gold decapitate black night so that the world delusion too bright sun bathing. Shaikh was, as a love game items, wandering along the dogs, and the month-long sitting on the road in hopes of seeing the face of the girl. Dust is the bed and the doorway of her house pillow.
Then, knowing that the sheikh was hopelessly in love, girl Christians graceful it was wearing a veil, then came out and said to him, "O sheikh, how then are you, an ascetic, so drunk with the wine of idolatry, and sitting on a street Christians in such circumstances? If you worship me like this, you'd go crazy. "The sheikh replied," It's because you have stolen my heart. Restore my heart it or welcome my love. If you want, would I sacrificed my life for you, but you can recover with the touch of your lips. Because of you, my heart on fire. Have spilled tears like rain, and my eyes can not see anymore. Where my heart, there is only blood. If I can become one with you, my life will be restored. You're the sun, I shadow. I'm a person that has no meaning anymore, but if you're willing to heed me, I will rule the world in seven domes under my wings. I beg of you, do not leave me! "
"O you peliur old!" She said, "are not you ashamed to use mothballs for fabric kafanmu? You should have embarrassed me suggest an intimate relationship with the cold breath! Better you wrap yourself in a shroud instead you spend your time thinking about me. You can not create love. Go! "
Shaikh replied, "Say what you like, but I love you. No matter whether we are young or old, love affects all heart. "
She said, "Well, if you can not be rejected, listen to me. You have to leave Islam; because love does not equate himself with his beloved merely color and perfume. "
The sheikh said, "I'll do what you want. Will kusanggupi everything you command, you're with bodies like silver: I am your servant. Tie a piece of hair that curls around my neck as a sign of devotion. "
"If you're a pengamal of what you're saying," she said Christians said, "you have to do four in this matter: prostrate in front of the statues, burn the Koran, drink wine, and a close eye on your religion." Shaikh said, "I want to drink wine for the sake of beauty, but the three other cases which can not be done." "All right," the girl said, "let's drink wine with me, then you will soon be willing to accept the terms of the other."
Shaikh was brought to the temple of the sahir where he saw a very strange banquet. They sat at a party where his host famous female beauty. The girl demonstrated a cup of wine at the sheikh, and when the sheikh was greeted and looked both manikam lover smiling ruby lips, like two closed caskets, flames berkorbar his heart and poured the blood flow to the eyes. He tried to recall the scriptures of the religion that has been read and written, and the Quran are so familiar; but when the wine flows from goblet into his stomach, he forgot all of it; his spiritual knowledge was lost. He also lost his will that is free and let him slide off out of hand. When he tried to touch the girl's neck, the girl said, "You're just pretending to love. You do not understand the secret of love. If you feel confident of your love, you will be able to find a way to curly hair and round robin. Immerse yourself in infidelity through the curly hair tangled; selusuri curly hair, and hands will be able to touch my neck. But if you do not want to follow the way; I showed it, stand up and go; and wear a robe as well as the staff of the needy. "
Hearing this, the sheikh's lovelorn feel helpless; and now he gave up without a fuss again to his fate. Wine has been drunk made his head so segoyah compass. The wine was old and young love. How he will not get drunk and drown in love?
"O Series Light of the Moon," he said, "tell me what you want. If I'm not worship a statue while I was still conscious, so now when I'm drunk would I burn the Koran in front of the statue of the idol. "
Beautiful young man said, "Now you are really my husband. You deserve me. During this time you raw in love, but after gaining experience you mature pum. Good! "
When the Christians heard that the sheikh had embraced them, then they carry him, still drunk, go to church, and they tell him to wear zunnar. He did this and throw it into the fire dervish robe, he left his religion and he obey customs of Christianity.
He said to her, "O daughter of captivating, no one has ever done for a woman as far as I'm doing it. I've worship statues Love Man, I had been drinking wine, and I have left my religion true. All this is done for the sake of love you and that I can have you. "
Again the girl was said to her, "Peliur old, slave of love, how could a woman like I unite myself with an indigent? I need the money and gold, and because you do not have anything, be off with you at all. "The Shaykh said," O beautiful woman, your body cypress trees and silver chest. If you refuse me, you will push me into despair. Mind to have you had thrown me into confusion. Because of you my friends have become my enemy. Like you, so they are; what my powers now? O beloved, better me in hell along with you rather than in heaven without you. "
Finally the girl's pity, and the sheikh became her husband, and had the girl began to feel the flame of love. But to test it again, she said: "" Now, as a dowry, o man is not perfect, go keep pig-babiku for a year, and then we would have missed our life together in joy or sorrow! "Without denied, sheikh who berkiblat on this Kaaba, the holy man, gave up to become a pig keeper.
In nature each of us there are a hundred pigs. O you who do not mean anything, you just think about the dangers involving the sheikh! The danger being contained within each of us, and hold his head since the day we started to walk on the road of self-knowledge. If you do not know your own pigs, then you do not know the Way. But if you travel the journey, you will catch a thousand pigs -seribu idol statues. Halaukan these pigs, burn this idol statues in the plains of love; or if not, you will be similar to the sheikh, despised love.
Then later, when word got out that the sheikh has become a Christian, his friends very sad, and all away from him, except one who said to him, "Tell us the secret of these events so that we can become the Christians along with Mr. We do not want you live in apostasy alone; then we will charge zunnar Christians. If the host is not willing, we will go back to the Kaaba and spend time in praying that we do not see what we see today.
Shaikh said, "My soul is full of sorrow. Go where you like. As for me, this church I belong, and the Christian girl tertakdir me. Did you know. why are you free? That's because you are not in a situation like me. If you are in such a situation, surely I would have a friend in percintaanku poor. Then they returned, my dear fellow, to the Kaaba, because nobody will be able to participate also feel my situation is now. If they'll ask about me, say, "His eyes were bloody, his mouth full of poison; he remains in the jaw dragons violence. There is no infidel who would be willing to do what it has done this because the Muslims overbearing influence of fate. A Christian girl has ensnared the Muslim neck with a noose from a piece of her hair. '"With these words he turned away from his friend and then back to the herd of pigs.
His followers, who had been watching from far away, weeping bitterly. Eventually they traveled back to the Kaaba, and with shame and confusion to hide away in a corner.
In the Kaaba there is a friend of the sheikh, wise and are in right path. Nobody is more familiar with the sheikh than him, even though he did not come accompanied him to Greece. When this person asked how his friend, the students also told him all that had happened to the sheikh, and they ask that the bad tree branches had pierced his chest Which, and whether this has occurred because of the will of fate. They say that a girl had been tied with a piece of kufr only and prevents hair from hundred way of Islam. "He toyed with curly hair and a mole of the girl, and had burned khirka-nya.3 He has left his religion and he is now wearing zunnar keep a herd of pigs. But though he had risked his own life, but we think there is still hope. "
Hearing this, the face, the friend that changed color so golden, and she began to wail bitterly. Then he said, "My friend in distress, according to the view of religion is not male or female. When a friend who suffer distress in need of help, sometimes pass that only one man in a thousand that might be useful. "Then they were left sheikh regrets it and says that should they be the Christians anyway for the sake of the sheikh. He added: "Comrade must remain a friend. In kesusahanlah you will know on whom you can rely; For the happiness you will have a thousand friends. Now when sheikhs had fallen into the crocodile's jaw everyone distance themselves from it in order to remain able to maintain the good name of their own. If you stay away from him because of this strange event, should you have been tested and found weak. "
"We offered to stay with him," they said, "and even willing, to be a statue worshipers. But he is someone who is experienced and wise, and we believe him, so when he told us to go, we were back here. "
A faithful friend replied, "If you really want to do, you have to knock on the door of the Lord; then with a prayer, you will be accepted in his presence. You should pray to God for your sheikh, each with its own prayer; and knowing the circumstances you are confused, God would restore him to you. Why are you reluctant to knock on the door of the Lord? "
Hearing that, they were embarrassed to lift the head. But faithful companion said, "Now is not the time for regrets. Let us go to the house of the Lord. Let us lie in dust and clothe ourselves with clothes petitions so that we can heal our leader! "
The disciples immediately went to Greece, and when I got there lived near sheikh.
Forty days and forty nights they prayed. For forty days and forty nights they do not eat nor sleep; they never received his bread and water. Finally the power of the prayers of those who sincerely feels in the sky. The angels and the leaders of the angels, and all the Saints robed green hilltops and in valleys, now dressed, with clothes of mourning. Arrow prayer that has reached its target. When morning came, the breeze carries the smell of musk subtle blow befell faithful who were praying in his cell, and the world is revealed in front of the eyes of batiniyah. He saw the Prophet Muhammad came closer, like a glorious morning, two curly hair falling on his chest; the shadow of God is the sun face, longing hundred world bound to each strand of hair. A friendly smile attracts everyone to him. Faithful companion got up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the leader of all beings, help us! Shaikh we have gone astray. Show me the way to him, we ask the Lord with the name of the Lord Most High! "
Muhammad said, "O you who see everything with your mind's eye, thanks to your efforts, the holy desires-desires granted. Between the sheikh and the Lord had long black mark, I have bestowed dew petitions and has scattered them in his dust. He has repented, and his sin was erased. Errors of one hundred world can be lost in the vapors when repentance. When the sea of friendship stir the waves terhapuslah sins of men and women. "
Faithful companion exclaimed happily, making the whole sky tremble. He ran to convey the good news to his friends, then crying because excited he rushed to the place where the sheikh keep pigs-pigs. But Shaikh was like fire, like the illuminated. He has been releasing belt Nasraninya, throwing the belt, drunkenness veil ripped from his head and leaving kenasraniannya. He felt himself as the original, and she shed tears of remorse raised his hands to the sky; all that has been left behind -AL-Quran, all the secrecy and forecasts, came back to him, and he was freed from the agony and ignorance.
They told him, "It is time grateful. The Prophet has mengantara for Tuan. Thank God that has raised the Lord of the ocean of darkness and put your feet on the Path of Light. "
Soon after that, the sheikh was wearing a back khirkanya, do as sacred, and then went to the Hejaz.
While such a case, the Christian girl in his dream to see the sun go down at him, and hear these words, "Follow your Shaykh, embraced his religion, be dust. You're dirty, be holy as he is now. You have brought him to the path, now follow the path taken. "
He was awake; chapped light illuminates the soul, and raised his wish was about to go looking. But when he realized that he was alone, and do not know the way, the excitement turned into grief, and she ran out of her mind was about to throw in the unrest. Then he set off to find the sheikh and his disciples; but in a state of exhausted and confused, drenched in sweat, he threw himself to the ground and exclaimed, "May God the Creator forgive me! I'm female, fed up with this life. Do not disappoint me because had menyengsarakanmu because of ignorance, and ignorance because it has many faults I do. Forget the evil I have done. Now I admit that true belief. "
Sheikh knows the inner voice will make the call. He stopped and said, "The young girl was not a pagan again. Light has come to him and he has followed our road. Let's go back. It can now bind themselves with tenderness on idol statues itu4 without sin. "
But his friends say, "Now what is the use of all repentance and regret" Sir! Interlocking he return to the lover Tuan Tuan? "Shaykh was also informed them about the voices that have been heard, and reminded them that he had left the old attitude. Then they went back up to arrive at where the girl was lying. The girl's face was golden yellow, his feet bare, his clothes tattered. When the sheikh bowed to her, she was unconscious. When he regained consciousness, tears fell like dew on the roses, and he said, "I feel so ashamed of you. Reveal the secret veil and Islam taught me that I may walk in the Way. "
When the idol graceful statue is finally classified as among those who believe, the sheikh's friends shed tears of joy. But the girl's heart could not wait for his release from sorrow. "O Sheikh," he said, "my strength disappeared. I want to abandon the world's dusty and noisy. Goodbye, Sheikh San'an. I confess all my fault. Forgive me, and let me go. "
Then Alkamar this beauty, who has taken half of his life, living from hand shake. The sun hid behind the clouds while beautiful girl's soul away from the body. He, a drop of water in the ocean imaginary, has returned to the ocean essentials.
We will all be gone like the wind; he has gone and we are going to go anyway. Such events often occur in the way of love. There is despair and pity, delusion and certainty. Although the body of lust can not understand the secrets, but misfortune was probably hitting the ball off the polo luck. We must hear with your heart and mind, not with physical ears. Dance of the spirit and the body of endless lust. Wail! Because there is no reason for mourning.Footnote:

5. Talking Birds Journey to Simurgh As Suggested That
After they contemplate the story of Sheikh San'an, the birds decided to abandon all their old way of life. Thoughts about Simurgh raise them from mental lethargy; only love for him alone that meets their hearts, and they began to consider how to start the journey.
They said, "Be forewarned, we must have guide that will parse conclude the issue. We need leaders who will tell us what to do, a leader who can save us from this deep sea. We are going to comply with a sincere heart and do what he says, both pleasant and unpleasant, so that the ball would fall in the sticks we Mountains Kaukasus.1 Then zarrah will be the one with the great sun; Simurgh and the shadows will fall on us. Now, let us draw lots to choose the leader. To whom the lot fell, he will be our leader; he will be great in the small. "
Then began a commotion, each of them instantly talk, but when everything is ready, whistle and chatter was stopped dead, and the birds were silent silent. Drawing done with the ceremony, and the lot fell on Hudhud coincidence that excited it. By unanimous consensus all agreed and promised to abide by Hudhud although risking their lives, and there would be a pity to sacrifice body and soul. Hudhud forth and a crown was worn on the head.
Where indicated, so much the number of birds that gather there to escape the moon and hence fish. But when they saw the entrance to the valley first, they soar into the clouds with fear. But with the wing and lar more passionate, desire to leave everything was alive again. But the task in front of them heavy and way too long. The silence incubate in the street that runs in front and a bird was asked why so empty Hudhud. "Because the King respectfully posed the road leading to persemayamannya place so deserted," replied Hudhud.Small story about Bayazid Bistami
One night when Shaykh Bayazid out of the city, which seemed to him that silence in covering terrain. Moon illuminated the world to make the night as bright as daylight. The stars are grouped according to the tendency of each and every star arrangement has its own duties. Shaikh was run continuously not glimpse any movement or a human. His heart was touched and he said, "Rabbi, who menjara confuse sad servant. Why then are so soft mengesan palace is deserted of worshipers who longingly? "" Do not be surprised, "the eyes of the inner voice replied," The king does not allow just anyone to come to his palace. His majesty did not allow him receive the adventurers at the door. When the holy places of our grandeur bestowed its glory, he does not appreciate those who sleepy and indifferent. You're one in a thousand who ask permission and you have to wait patiently. "Footnote:
1 Literally, what is meant by "ball" here (and also in other places in this book, as at the end of the story of Sheikh San'an above) are balls in equestrian polo game, which was already known in Ancient Persia (among other things we can read in Salaman and Absal, a classic work hand pieces Jami, a Persian Sufi poet, 1414-1492 AD). In that game, the players riding, and a ball made of wood hit with a stick-beater (mallet). Figuratively, apparently is a "ball" here is the fate of luck or greater: life. Being "stick" in the Caucasus Mountains here seems Simurgh is power, because the Caucasus Mountains is a place semayam Simurgh. Then a paraphrase for the clause that seems to be made as follows: "in order that we can hand over the fate of luck (life) we in power Simurgh." - HA16. Birds Departing
Fear and anxiety cause depression screaming birds when they looked at the way that no berulung where typhoon liberation of all the smells of the earth split the sky area. In fear, they jostle and ask for instructions on Hudhud. They said, "We do not know how to be facing with respect Simurgh-fitting reverence. But you have lived near Solomon and know manners. Also you have to climb up and down this street, and repeatedly fly around the world. You're our priests, which can bind release. We ask you now ascend the pulpit and teach us. Tell us about it and about the way the King's palace as well as the ceremonies there, because we do not want to show behavior that is stupid. Also all kinds of difficulties arise in our mind, and for this trip we need to be free from anxiety. Many questions must we ask, and we want you to be able to eliminate our doubts; if not, we will not be able to see clearly on this long road. "
Hudhud then put the crown on his head, sitting on a throne and get yourself going to talk to them. When forces the birds lined up in front of him in line, Bulbul and turtledove is approaching, and as the two readers with the same sound, they emit the songs are so melodious that everything you heard was carried away. Then one by one, a number of birds approached him to talk about the difficulties and stating the reasons for them.17. Birds First Speech
The first bird said to Hudhud, "O you who have been appointed as leader, tell us what makes you better than us. Because it seems you also like us, and we like you anyway, so in terms of where lies the difference? Body or soul sin sin Which we have done, then we have the wisdom of a fool are you? "
Hudhud replied, "Know, O bird, that once he saw it happen to me; and that my good fortune is not due to gold or silver, but because of this fortunate meeting. How could beings benefit from mere compliance? The devil himself was obedient. However, anyone who advises leaving compliance, then the curse would fall to him for all time. Amalkan compliance, then you'd managed to get a glimpse of view of Solomon's true. "Mahmud and Fishing
Sultan Mahmud once separated from his troops, and completely alone flounder on his horse ran like the wind. Soon he saw a little boy sitting by the river cast their nets. Sultan Mahmud approached; and found that the child was sad and depressed, so he said, "My dear, what makes you so sad? Semurung people have never seen it. "" O handsome prince, "the boy replied," we have seven brothers; we have no father anymore, and our mother very poor. Every day the servant came and tried to catch fish for eating. Only when the servant managed to capture some of the tail, we will be able to have dinner. "
"Can I try?" Asked Sultan. After the child was allowed, the Sultan was down the nets, which for helping luck penebarnya, quickly pull the net was a hundred fish. Seeing that, the boy said to himself, "My fate is remarkable. How lucky for all of these fish rolled into the jalaku. "But Sultan said," Do not lie to yourself my son. I am the cause of kemujuranmu. Sultan has caught all the fish for you. "Saying so, the Sultan also jumped onto his horse. The boy begged the Sultan to take part, but Sultan refused, saying that he would take the next acquisition. "Tomorrow morning, you have to catch fish untuku," he said. Then he went back to his palace. The next day he ordered the officers to take him. Once they arrived, he ordered the boy to sit beside him on the throne. "My lord," said an employee of the palace, "this child beggar!" "Never mind," said the Sultan, "now he became my friend. Given that we have a binding friendship, I can not send her away. "Thus Sultan treat the child together with her. Finally someone asked the boy, "How does it're so honored?" The boy replied, "The excitement has come, and grief passed, because I met with the king happy."Mahmud and loggers Wood
At other times when Sultan Mahmud was riding alone, he met the old man woodcutter who was leading his donkey carrying thorn bushes. At that moment the donkey tripped, and when the animal falls, the thorns was flaking scalp old man. Seeing a bush of thorns that fell on the ground, a donkey turned upside down and the old man who rubbed his head, the Sultan asked, "O poor man, is there you need a friend?" "I really need," said loggers wood. "Riding a good soldier, if you want to help me, I'll be lucky and you will not lose anything. Address your eyes for me. Everyone knows already that people will find the taste-friendship of those friendly faces. "Then the Sultan kind that was down and the horse, and after upholding ass legs, he lifted the bush thorns and tied it to the back of the animal. Then he drove away joined the army back. He said at the perajuritnya, "Mr. old woodcutter will come together with a donkey carrying thorn bushes. Cover the road so that it later had to be last on my face. "When the woodcutter's get to where the soldier, he said to himself," How am I going to be able to last the weak animals this? "Then he went through the other way, but look at the umbrella oversized king in the distance he began to tremble, because the road that had to be gone through will bring him face to face with the Sultan. When he got closer, he was overwhelmed with confusion, because under the umbrella of seeing a familiar face. "O Lord," he said, "what a servant is in trouble! Today servant should face the doorman Mahmud as a servant. "
When he arrived, Mahmud told him, "My friends who are poor, what pencaharianmu eyes?" The woodcutter replied, "My master has been advised. Do not pretend. Tuanku not remember the servant? Servant of the poor old man, woodcutter slave work; day-night servants gather thorn bushes in the desert, the slave sales, but the donkey slave die of hunger. If the lord willing, give something presumably goods than bread. "" You poor man, "said the Sultan," How would you sell the bushes durimu? "The woodcutter replied," Because my lord did not want to pick it up for free, and servant did not want to sell it anyway, so give gold sedompet servant. "At that, the soldier exclaimed," Shut up, stupid! Durimu bush was no enjelai handful of price. Bankers should be free. "The old man said," That is true, but its value has changed. When a happy like Sultan touched the thorn-duriku bond, then so be it files all roses. If the Sultan wanted to buy it, then the price is at least one dinar, because the Sultan has raised its worth a hundred times to touch him. "
18. Second Bird Greeting
Hudhud another bird approached and said, "O protector of the army of Solomon! I can not afford to take this trip. I was too weak to cross the valley-by-valley. The road is so difficult that I would be lying dead in the first stage. There are volcanoes in the middle of the road. Also it is not beneficial for everyone to participate in such efforts. Thousands head has been rolling like a ball in a game of polo, as have many killed those who go looking for Simurgh. In such a way, many sincere creature hides his head in fear, what will become of me later, which is none other than the dust? "
Hudhud replied, "O you who somber! Why are you so sad? Because it is so small artimu in this world, it makes no difference whether you are young and brave, or old and infirm. The world really dirty; creatures perished there at every door. Thousands are so yellow silky, and perished in the midst of tears and suffering. It is better to sacrifice your life rather than languish in looking miserable. Suppose we will not succeed, but die of grief, well, much worse, but because a lot of mistakes in this world, we at least will be able to avoid new mistakes. Thousands of being cleverly engages itself in search of dead bodies of this world; then, if you devote yourself in this effort, especially by deceit, will make your heart can you love the ocean! Some say that the desire for what is spiritual is only vanity, and that not only the lucky ones will be able to achieve it. But would not it be better to sacrifice our lives in the pursuit of this Nasrat rather than tied to worldly affairs? I had seen everything and have done everything, and there's nothing shocking conclusion. Long I have to deal with people and I have seen how little they really not tied to wealth. As long as we do not risk ourselves, and as long as we are dependent on someone or something, we would not be free. Teruntuk spiritual path is not for those who are observed in the outer life. Tapakkan feet on this road if you can do, and do not be pleased with a decent effort just for females. Know earnest, that even if the search is not to be pious, but still need to be implemented. Of course, this is not easy; in the tree of love, the fruit leafless. Tell who owns the leaves to release all of it.
When love overwhelms us, it evokes our hearts, we plunged into the blood, forcing us kneel outside the curtain; He did not give us a break for a moment; he killed us, but still demand the price of blood. He drank water and ate bread luh1 beragikan sorrow; but even though we are weaker than an ant, love will give us strength. "Small story about A contemplative
A crazy, crazy God, go barefoot while others go with the dress. He said, "O Lord, give servant beautiful clothes, then the servant would be satisfied like everybody else." A voice from the unseen world answered, "Have I gave you the warm sun, sit down and be happy sukalah in the warmth of the sun. "That crazy saying" Why punish the servant? Well, do not master a better outfit than the sun? "The voice said," Wait patiently for ten days, and without fuss I'll give you another outfit. "The sun scorched the lunatic for eight days; then a poor man approached and gave him a piece of clothing that patched a thousand. Madman said to God, "O Lord who knows all what is hidden, why have you been given a slave clothing is mended? Are there has Tuan Tuan and burn all the clothes have to patch these old clothes? Tuan has connect-connect thousand garments. From whom Mr. learn this art? "
It is not easy to relate to God's palace. People should be like the dust on the road leading up to it. After a long struggle he thought he had reached his goal just knowing that the goal was still to be achieved.Stories about Rabi'a
Rabi'a, though a woman, but a man crown. Once he used his time to eight years to go on pilgrimage to the Ka, sump with mengingsutkan body length on the ground. When he finally got to the door of the shrine, he thought, "Now finally has kutunaikan duty." On the holy day when he was about to expose himself to the Kaaba, the women left her retinue. Rabi'a was then scour the original tracks and said, "O Lord who has grandeur series, eight years have measured the servant of the servants of body length, and now, when the days missed it has come as an answer to the prayers servant, Mr. put thorns on the road servant! "
To understand the meaning of events demikian2 also necessary to know a loving God as Rabi'a it. As long as you're floating in the world's oceans are in, the waves will accept and reject you alternated. Sometimes you will be allowed up to the Kaaba, sometimes also you will take a deep breath (disappointment) is in a temple. If you managed to pull away from the attachment to this world, you will enjoy happiness; but if you stay bound, your head will spin-dizzy like millstones on grinding tools. Not for a moment you will be quiet; you will be disturbed by a mosquito just yet.
The Lord Enthusiast
Has become a habit of a poor man infatuated with God to stand in a certain place. And one day a king of Egypt who often last on the face with the palace being retinue, stopped and said, "I see in you the quiet nature and relaxed which is quite interesting." That crazy man replied, "How servant will be calm if the servant be target flies and fleas? Throughout the afternoon flies torturing servants, and at night the fleas dogs do not let the servant sleep. A small flies that enter the ear of Nimrod disturbing mind that madman centuries. Nimrod might servant for the servant of this age have to deal with friends servants, flies and fleas that dog. "

19. Third Bird Greeting
The third bird thanks to Hudhud, "I'm filled with errors, then how I will go down that road? Could dirty fly worthy of Simurgh in the Caucasus Mountains? How could the sinner turns away from the right path would approach the king? "
Hudhud said, "O birds lose hope, so do not despair, ask forgiveness and mercy. If you're so easy to throw the shield it, your job will indeed be difficult ...Small stories about An Evil

One morning a magical voice talking to him, "Listen to the Lord of the World. When you repent first, received taubatmu. Although I can punish you, but I did not do so. Both times, when you fall into sin, I give you moratorium, and now, even in anger, I turned not you. Today, o crazy, you do not acknowledge your treachery and wanted to come back to me for the third time. Come back then, to the Way. I opened my door and wait for you. If you really have to change your attitude, your sins will be forgiven. "
Angel Gabriel and Goodwill
One night when the Angel Gabriel was in Sidrah, he heard the Lord say approval, and Gabriel said to myself, "A servant of God at this time called The Eternal, but who he is hell? I just knew that he would have been a great virtue, that the bodies of the dead and that his soul desires to live. "And soon Gabriel set off to find the happy mortal. But even though he checked the continents and islands, mountains and plains, was the discovery of the man. Then he returned to the Lord, and hear another answer to prayer blessed it.
Once again Gabriel flew across land and sea, but eventually he was forced to ask, "O God, which path will bring a servant to a man of Mr. it?" God said, "Go to the land of Rum and in a convent Christians will kaudapati him." Gabriel flew to the monastery and there recipient of the gift of the sky was prostrate in front of a statue of the idol. "O Lord of the World," worship Gabriel, "Reveal presumably this veil of secrecy. How could Mr. hears a devotee of the statues in this convent? "The Lord said," The heart of it is in darkness.

O Moses, you have caused it to perish with one hundred pain, you have unsnap it into the ground with shame. If you had his Maker, you certainly will not be as hard as it was for him. "
He is forgiving to those who do not know pity, highly commended by people loving. If you make mistakes like most people who are guilty, you yourself will become one of the sinners.Footnote:

20. Question Bird Fourth
Another bird on Hudhud said, "I am a female character, and can only be hopping from branch to branch. Sometimes I like messing around and worry, sometimes also I like temperate. Sometimes my soul dragged myself to places to drink, sometimes even pull myself for my soul to pray. There are times, though contrary to myself, demons mislead me; and sometimes also the angel led me back. In between I was in the prison hole; What might I do but lament like Joseph. "
Hudhud replied, "It happens to everyone, in accordance with nature. If we no wrong from the beginning, God certainly do not need to also send apostles and His prophets. With compliance you will get happiness. O you who lena lie in a hot sweaty cubicle laziness, but full of desires does not mean, while you continue to also feed the dog deceiving, fitrahmu worse than some disposition of the transvestite helpless.

A minister's palace said, "He is innocent; why should be killed? "" Because, "said the king," he is not a true lover and not sincere. If he truly craved me, surely he would rather lose the head rather than be separated from her beloved. Should love it entirely or not at all. Had he was willing to kill punished, surely I will wear the belt kesetiaanku2 and became dervish. He loves me, but rather to love his own head, not a true lover. "Footnote:

Another bird said to Hudhud, '' my enemy Myself alone; there is a thief in me. How can I make this journey, which is hindered by physical tastes and appetite dog who will not bow? How can I save my soul? Wolves wandering around looking for food that I knew, but I do not recognize this dog, and she was so attractive. I do not know where I am with this body that is not faithful. Will Can I understand it? "
Hudhud replied, "Yourself stray dogs, trampled feet. 'Soul' you had one eye and squint; vile, dirty and unfaithful. If anyone is interested in you, is it because dazzled by the sparkling fake 'jiwa'-mu. It is not good for the dog's desire to be pampered and rubbed with oils. As a child, we are weak and ignorant; adolescence, we are busy in the struggle: and when old age came to power, lust was sluggish and weak body. Because life is so, then how these dogs will get jewelry spiritual qualities? From beginning to end we live with indifference, and did not get anything. Often there are up at the end of life was empty without carrying anything in his life except lust for all-round outward. Thousands perish from grief, but the dog's appetite never die.

But anyone can master this dog will catch the world's second lion in his net.

Try to understand the meaning of everything. Without color, gold is just, plain metal; but you're captivated by the colors, like a small child. The love of gold are not suitable for real human beings; Why hide the gold in faraj mule? 1 Are there valuable objects hidden people in such places? If you do not let your neighbor's benefit because of your gold, you also will not receive benefits anyway. But when you give a piece of obol2 to the poor poorer, both of you will benefit. If you have gold, which can multiply the benefits you give to it; but if your shoulders stamped, 3 it was as golden as well. For a store, you have to pay the rent and sometimes the price is the soul itself.

In this palace I like the king of the birds, so why should I bother in the valleys that you mentioned? Shall I leave my palace and my position as king? There is no sensible creature would leave the park IRAM to travel so heavy and difficult! "

On the outside, the palace was decorated with towers and domes that bersepuhkan gold, while the furniture and tapestries create a space inside like heaven. When the castle was completed established, the king invited people from each country to visit. They came and gave gifts, and dipersilakannya they all sit with him. Then the king was also asked them, "Tell me what is your opinion about the palace at the same time. Is there something forgotten, damaging the beauty? "It states that there has never been such a palace in the world and there would be no twin again. Thus all states, except one, a wise, who stood up and said, "There is a small gap which in the opinion of the servant is flawed, my lord. Suppose there is no defect, heaven itself will give gifts to the lord of the unseen world. "
"I do not see this defect," said the king's wrath. "You're a fool, and you just want to make yourself seem important." "No, King arrogant," said the wise man. "The gap that I mentioned it is a gap that will be passed Azrael, malakulmaut, when he came later. May God willing, my lord can close the gap, because if not, what is the use of the palace, crown and throne magnificent lord it? When death comes, it will be like a handful of dust. None who stays long, and loopholes that will destroy the place semayam lord. There is no intelligence can make permanent what was fixed. Ah, do not place expectations on the castle lord happiness!

If a fly falls tertungging into the net, the spider was hastily gripped the tiny blood sucking creatures, and let it dry out carcasses for use as food. Then comes the occupants of the house with a broom, and in an instant, web-nest, flies and spiders was gone all three!

Shadow sweet face is a thief in the great road; he had burned the harvest of my life, and when I was separated from it, not for a moment I felt at ease. Because my heart lit up with lust, I did not know how I could take this trip. I had to cross a valley-by-valley and take a hundred trials. Can I expected to leave this beautiful man to go take a scorching hot and cold painful? I was too weak to go on without him; and I was just dust in the course. That's my situation. What are my powers? "
Hudhud replied, "You're tied to what appears in the eyes alone, and consequently, suffer from head to toe. For love is a game. Love posed by the beauty of the fleeting glance by itself anyway. You're always comparing the body of blood and lust with the beauty of the moon.
What is worse than the body that occur from the flesh and bones? True beauty is hidden. So look for it, in the invisible world in the eye. If the veil of secrecy that hides it from your eyes drop, then there is no longer living in this world. All forms the visible will be meaningless. "Small stories about Syabli
A man came to get Syabli one day crying. Sufi asked him why crying. "O Shaykh," he said, "I have a friend whose beauty makes my soul as green twigs in spring. Yesterday, he died, and I was willing to die anyway it feels as grief. "Syabli said," Why are you sad? So long you have to have as a friend. Now go and find another friend, a friend who will never die, then there will be no reason to make you sad. Attachment to something that is mortal will only bring sorrow. "
Rich merchants
A rich merchant for goods and money have a female slave sweet like sugar. Nevertheless, he decided one day to sell. But the moment he began to feel lost him. In the desire, he went to a new owner and asked him to release the slave, then he offered a thousand pieces of gold to redeem. But the new owner did not want to part of the slave. Then the merchant came out, and in the confusion he said, "It's my own fault, because it has been sewing the lips and eyes; the greed I have to sell my love for a piece of gold. At that time, a bad day for me when I dressed with excellent garments and bring it to market to sold it to gain a lot. "

I'll make my face is red so when the doomed people who have carried out the penalty was turned to the gallows, he would see that I was a brave man. '
He who ate and drank in July along with the seven-headed dragon that would have fared very poorly in the game that way, but the gallows would be something quite meaningless to him.26. Tenth Bird Subterfuge
This bird said to Hudhud, "I'm afraid of death. Now the valley is vast, and I do not have anything at all to this trip. I am so overwhelmed with the fear of death that I would die in the first stop. Suppose I am a powerful amir though, at the time of impending doom, will be no less also fears. He who tries to fend off death with his sword, the sword will get broken like a piece of theology; because unfortunately, the belief in the strength of the hand and the sword will only bring disappointment and sorrow. "
Hudhud replied, "O you soft and weak will, willing is you stay just sebingkai bone and marrow alone? Do not you know that this life, whether long or short, created a bit of a breather? Do not you know that whoever is born must die anyway? That he would enter the land and that the wind will scatter the elements that make up the body?
You're given the death as santapannya; and you put into the world to be removed from there anyway! The sky like the dish upside down, which every evening immersed in the blood of the sunset. It can be said that the sun was, armed with curved swords, decapitating the middle of the head for the sake of this dish. Are you good or bad, you're just a drop of water is mixed with the soil. Although the rest of your life you may be in the position of full power, eventually you will experience a catastrophic death as well. "Feniks
Feniks1 an amazing and beautiful bird, living in India. He did not have a mate and live alone. Beak, which is very long and hard, hollowed out like a flute with nearly a hundred holes.

Sometimes it play music through the holes, and when birds and fish hear the melodious songs are melancholy, they terbangkit, and the most ferocious animals also touched; then they all fell silent. A philosopher once turned this bird and learn from him about the science of music. Feniks lived about a thousand years, and she knew it would be the day of his death. When the time comes, he gathered around him a number of palm fronds, and confusion among the leaves, he stridently screams were glazed. Of holes in its beak emitted a variety of songs, and the music is lifted from the bottom of his heart. Lament-express grief lament the death, and he was shivering like a leaf. Hear the trumpet birds and animals approached to provide assistance in this great event. Now they became confused, and many died due to loss of power. While Feniks was still breathing, dikepak-kepakkannya dikerutkannya wings and feathers, and thus it emits fire. The fire spread to the palm leaves, and soon the leaves and the bird became a living embers and then reduced to ashes. But when the interest-fire has been extinguished efflux, a small Feniks emerging from the ashes.
Have happen to anybody event was reborn after death? Suppose you live as long with Feniks it though, but you will die as well as the level of your life is determined. Feniks living thousand years were filled with wailing and he lived alone without friends and children, and do not relate to anyone as well. When the end came, he threw ashes at all, so that it can know that nothing anyone can avoid death, even though he uses deception whatsoever. So take a lesson from the miracle Feniks. Death is a tyrant, but we must always remember death. And although many must we suffer, but nothing can be compared with the situation that was about to die.Tai advice Interlocking Time Dies
When Tai lay almost died, someone asked him, "O Tai, you have to know the nature of things, how are you doing now?" He said, "I can not say anything about my situation. As the wind I have wandered everywhere during my life, and now that the end was coming up, and I will be buried, then, good night. "

Whatever form that is within me, always had in me the bitterness of death. I made such that the water vase containing bitterness will always follow it. "

Another bird said to Hudhud, "O you with a sincere belief, there is not the slightest good will to me. I have spent my life in frustration, wanting this world. There is a kind of sadness in my heart that I ceaseless wail. I'm always in a state of confused and helpless; and if for a moment I felt satisfied, so I do not believe it. By itself I too have become a dervish. But now I hesitate to follow the path of spiritual knowledge. If my heart was so full of grief, surely I would be interested also in this trip. But as it is, I'm in a quandary. Now after kubeberkan ihwalku in your face, tell me what should I do. "
Hudhud said, "You, who has been the victim of vanity, which is immersed in compassion for yourself, you really should feel disturbed. Given that this world is passing, then you yourself is only going to pass then also there. Leave him, for he so attached to what is mortal may not take part in what is eternal. Sufferings that you suffered may be noble and ignoble cause. What at birth is suffering can be a treasure for the wise. One hundred and mercy will come to you if you're trying to take that road. But as you doing now, you're just skin covering the brain blunt. "Thankful Servant Know

Given that my Lord bestows many gifts a slave, why is the bitter fruit of the course will stretch the servants of my lord? "
That is, the servant of God, if you have suffered in your efforts, be assured that it can be a treasure for you. It seemed to appear upside down, but, remember that slave.Shaikh and the Old Woman
An elderly woman told Sheikh Mahmah, "Teach me pray that I can find satisfaction. During this time I always fall prey to dissatisfaction, but now I want to be free of such feelings. "
Shaikh replied, "In times long ago I withdrew into a kind of fortress in the back of my knees to seek diligently what I want; but I do not feel well and did not see it. As long as we do not accept everything with an attitude of love, how can we be satisfied? "To the question Junaid
Someone asked Junaid, "The person who becomes the servant of God, but free, tell me how to achieve the satisfaction?" Junaid said, "If a person has learned to accept, with love."
Zarrah only has apparent brightness. Basically he was just a zarrah, but if he unites himself in the sunlight, so thus he shall possess the qualities of the sun constantly.Bats for Sun.
One night a bat was heard to say, "How would that I could only see the sun for a moment? In my life I've been in despair because he did not for a moment I could lose myself in the light. Months and years I have been flying around here with my eyes closed, and here I am! "A contemplative creature say," You're filled with pride, and you still have a thousand years of wandering. How can a creature like this you find sun? Can an ant to the moon? "" Nevertheless, "the bat said," I'll keep trying. "And so a few years he continued searching until he did not have the strength or the wing again. Because he did not also find the sun, he said, "Maybe I have to fly farther on it." A bird wise, after hearing it, said, "You live in a dream; you just circling this time and not advanced a single step; the pride you say that you have to go further up the sun! "It is very surprising the bat after regretting kedaifannya and grovel at all by saying," You've met with a bird that had the inner vision, then do not continue. "
28. Questions Bird Twelfth
Another bird said to Hudhud, "O you, who became our guide, whether the result later when my will I leave you. From my own will, I can not accept the difficulty and suffering that I know will certainly I've had, but I can agree to obey orders; and if by chance I'll turn my head, then I will try to fix it.
Hudhud replied, "You have spoken well, we can not expect better than this. Because how can you keep control of yourself if you obey the preferences and hatred-hatred? But if you obey voluntarily, you can be the master of yourself. He is subject to compliance on this road free from deceit and avoid many difficulties. Shortly serve the true God according to the law is the same price with a lifetime of serving the world.

But he who bears let a moment of suffering for doing business on this road will be rewarded fullyBayazid and Tarmazi
Alim who are good, the axis of the world and was awarded the key traits, revealed the following. "One night," he said "In a dream I saw Bayazid and Tarmazi, who asked me to be their leader. I was so surprised why the sheikh this glorious treat me with such honor. Then I remembered that one morning I've gasped moaned from the bottom of my heart, and when rising, complained that the holy gates swung the hammer knocker, so the gate open for me. I entered, and all the pious and his followers who speak without words, to ask something about me all of them, except Bayazid Bistami who wanted to meet with me but do not ask anything. He said, 'When I hear the call of your heart, I realized that what was necessary for me is simply obeying the command, led by the accord. Because of this I do not mean anything, it is not feasible for me to say what I want. It is enough for the servant to affirm the will ju jungannya.
That is why the two sheikhs were treated me with respect, and give me a higher place. If someone is obedient, he did according to the word of God. He is not a servant of God who boasts of his position as a servant. Shows its true servant when tested. Then obey trials, so you can get to know yourself. "Servant and Cloak of Honor
A king gave robes of honor to a servant who goes by very proud of himself. Central he walks, street dust settles on it and without thinking he removes his face with the sleeve of the robe. A person who envy to it without wasting time to report to the king, who because of anger at the offense's customary courtesy, punish the slave with the law puncture.
He degrading honor himself with the behavior that is unacceptable, it is not worth berseba the king tapestry.29. Application Bird Thirteenth
Another bird said to Hudhud, "O you with goals that do not cheat, tell me how I can be sincere in the road to the Lord. Because I can not leave my heart's desire, I sacrificed everything kupunyai to reach my goal. What I have been missing; I caught what has turned into a scorpion in my hand. I am not bound by any ties as well and I have to throw all the shackles and obstacles. I want to be sincere in spiritual road with the hope that one day can meet face to face with who I adore. "
Hudhud replied, "That road is not open to everyone; only genuine can take it. He who menempul This path must do so serene and heartfelt. When you have burned all that you have, collect the ashes and put yourself on top of the ashes. Before you escape from everything in this world, one by one, you would not be free. And remember you will not be long in the prison of this world, then remove yourself from all that. When death comes, what now can enslave you circumvent? Taking this road, required sincerity and genuine self against yourself harder than you think. "Proverbs analogous of Tarmazi
Aulia of Turkistan one day said to himself, "I love these two: my daughter and horse-belangku. Had I heard that my son die, then will I sacrificed my horse as a token of gratitude, because both of them it was like an idol for my soul. "
Highlight your sins, hatred-hatred and arrogance-arrogance. Burn it all and do not persuade-circumvention yourself that you're more sincere than others. He who boasts about his sincerity should try to see themselves as they are.Shaikh Khirkani and Cucumber
One day Shaykh Khirkani, who trust in God's power alone, longing to be cucumber. He wants it in such a way; then her mother came out and got a. Soon after it was eaten cucumber, then suddenly the child's head Sheikh Khirkani beheaded people, and at night a wicked put his head in the doorway.

H.A.30. Fourteenth Bird Talk
Another bird said to Hudhud, "O you who berpenglihatan bright! What do you propose the precious ideals. Even though I was weak, but actually I had a noble spirit; although a little strength, but I have a high passion. "
Hudhud replied, "If you have a little passion noble, the passion that will be able to let the sun beat though. Ideals are lar bird wings and the soul. "
Old Woman Who Wants to Buy Yusuf
It is said that when Joseph was sold to the Egyptians, they treated him kindly. Many buyers and therefore, traders giving him worth the price of musk oil from five to ten times the weight. Meanwhile, in the extreme joy, an old woman ran to her, and slipped in among the buyers, he told one of the Egyptians, "Let the Canaanites bought it, because I wanted to have the young man. I have spun yarn coils ten to buy him, then take the thread and give Yusuf me, then finished the case. "
The merchants smiled and said, "Keluguanmu have misled you. This quaint pearl teruntuk not for you; those that have bid with hundred valuables. How can you compete with them with some coils benangmu? "Staring at their faces, the old woman said," I know very well that you will not sell it so cheap, but enough for me if my friends and my enemies will say 'old woman This terrnasuk one who wants to buy Joseph. '"
Who does not aspire will never get to the endless kingdom that. Controlled by this noble desire, a great prince looked earthly kingdom as dust. When he realized how empty temporary nobility, it was decided that the spiritual nobility the same price as a thousand kingdoms of the world.Ibrahim Adham
A man always complaining about the bitter poverty; then Ibrahim Adham said to him, "Son, maybe you have not paid the price of poverty is it?" The man replied, "What you said was impossible; Where might someone buys poverty? ',' I, at least, "said Adham," has chosen the poverty it deliberately and I had bought it for the kingdom of world poverty. And I'm still going to buy a moment of this poverty a hundred of the world. "
People who are hungry for self-perfection risked body and soul for it. Bird soaring ideals toward God, flown the wings of faith above all that is mortal and spiritual nature. If you do not have such aspirations, better back.The World According to A Sufi
Sufi woke up one night and said to himself, "It seems to me that the world is like a box where we put the lid and clenched, we are sacrificing ourselves for the things that are meaningless. When death lifted the coffin lid, then who has to get wings, soar away into eternity; but who have not lived in a crate that fall prey to a thousand disasters. Then rest assured that excitement birds get wings ideals, and gives the heart and mind of emotion-happy life. Before the coffin lid open, be bird spirit, which is ready to expand. "
31. Question Bird Fifteenth
Another bird on Hudhud said, "If the king that we talked about it a fair and faithful, God also has given us also honesty and sincerity; and I never lacking in terms of fairness to anyone. When these qualities are present in an organism, how dignity in the knowledge of spirituality? "
Hudhud said, "Justice is king safety. He just survived all sorts of errors and futility. Fair better than skipping your whole life with his knees and adoring the outward worship. Also generosity are not comparable in the world that justice is done secretly. But he who pretends fair in public is difficult to not be the hypocrite. As followers of the spiritual Way tiadalah demanding justice from anyone, because they receive abundantly from God. "Small story about Imam Hanbal
Ahmad Hanbal is the Imam of his time, and his services beyond all praise. One time when he wanted a break from study and work, he went outside to talk with a man who is very poor. Someone who saw it criticized him, saying, "Nobody is smarter than Mr. and Mr. did not need the opinion of others, but Mr. spent Tuan with the unfortunate poor, who walk barefoot and bare head." "Indeed, true, "the priest said," that I have carried out what is in the Hadith and Sunnah, and that I have more knowledge of this person; but in the case of conviction, he is closer to God than I am. "
You are dishonest because it did not know, at least give a warning for a moment on the sincerity of those who are on a spiritual path.Raja India
Once Sultan Mahmud imprison an old king, who -after live the love of God-become a Muslim and left both worlds. Sitting alone in his tent he became so immersed in this state melt tears of sadness and longing sigh gasped -siang changed during the evening and night passed, the greater also crying and complained. Finally Mahmud heard him and called him, "Do not weep and wail," he said, "Sir king, and I will give Mr. hundred royal substitute royal master that has been lost." "O the Shah Alam," replied the Hindu, "I do not lament my kingdom were lost or glory. I cried, because on the day of resurrection, the Lord, the owner of a series of grandeur, would say to me, 'O faithless people, kautaburkan seed insult me. Before Mahmud attacked you, you never think of me. Only when you are forced to bring your army against him and lost everything, you remember me. Is this fair to think ?, O King young, is because I feel embarrassed that I cried in my age that is as old as this. "
Listen to the words of justice and faith; Diwan listen to the teachings of the Scriptures. If you have faith, you travel the journey that I counsel. But will he who is not on the list contained in chapter spaciousness fidelity heart!Muslim soldiers and Crusaders
A Muslim and a Christian middle-fought match, and it was time for the Muslims to perform the prescribed prayers, then asked for a deferment of the Nazarenes. Cross soldier was agreed, then went along the side of the Muslims and pray. When he returned, they then start the fight back with renewed vigor. A moment later the Crusaders requested an armistice to perform his prayer anyway. Once this is accepted, he resigned, and after selecting a suitable place, he knelt in the dust in front of the statue of hero. When the Muslims saw kneeling with his head bent, he said to himself, "This is an opportunity for me to get a victory," while planning was about to hit him with betraying the agreement. But an inner voice saying, "O faithless man who was about to betray kesanggupanmu, is this how do you hold your promise? The unbelievers did not draw the sword against you when you asked for a truce. Seest remember the words of the Quran, 'Hold your promise faithfully ,. Because a Gentile has been generous to you, do not be lost to follow him. He has done well, and you want to do evil. Did according to him, as he has done to you. Are there any you, as a Muslim, not trustworthy? "Hearing this, the Muslim stunned. Remorse swept over and he bathed in tears from head to toe. When the Crusaders saw this, he asked why. "Whisper sublime," said Muslim, "scolds me for not loyal to you. You see me in this condition because I was overcome by your generosity. "Hearing this, the Christians greeted him with shouts of joy, and he said," Because the Lord may show mercy to me, his sinful, and rebuked his friend for not believing, how can I to live ungodly? Explain to me the principles of Islam so that I can receive the true religion and to leave idolatry ceremonies Shari'a. Oh, how I regret the blindness that had been blocking me from recognition of such generous lord it. "
O you who neglect to seek the purpose wishes, and so lacking in faith deserve you! I think the time will come when in front of the sky will remind all you have done one by one.Joseph and brother-brother
In lean times, ten of Joseph's brothers went away to Egypt. With sheathed face veils, Joseph received them, and they expose their back trouble and ask for help to face the danger of famine which is scary.
Yusuf in advance there is a trophy. He knocked the cup with his hand, and it let out a voice filled with sadness. His brothers were surprised; they can not resist talking; They said to him, "O Aziz! 1 Is there a lord, or is there someone knows the meaning of that noise?" "I know very well," said Joseph, "but you can not bear to hear his speech; trophies because it says that you have a brother special because apparently splendor, and the name of Joseph. "
Then Joseph knocked the cup for the second time, and said, "The cup that tells me that you throw your brother was into the well and that you kill the wolf innocent and clothes smeared with the blood of the animal Joseph."
Joseph knocked the cup for the third time, and once again the trophy that project sound sorrowful. Joseph added, "The Cup was said that Joseph's brothers make their father plunged into the depths of grief and that they had sold him. Now, whether that has been done by people not believing this against their brother? At the very least, should fear the Lord, O ye who stand in front of me. "
This leaves them in a state such that they are sweating for fear -those who come want to ask for bread. Time to sell Joseph, in fact they have sold themselves; when they put him into the well, in fact they themselves thrown into the well of suffering.
Whoever reads this story without benefit, he is blind. Do not listen with indifference, because your story is none other than his own. You keep also commit many sins and errors, because you were not illuminated by the light of consciousness. If someone knocks the cup of your life, then you own tersingkaplah deeds your sins. When you tap the cup of your life and you wake up from sleep; if the mistakes and sins are shown one by one, I doubt whether you will stick to the serenity or mind. You're like an ant who was paralyzed in a cambung. How often do you turn your head from the sky trophy? Develop your wings and fly soar, you, who have knowledge of the truth. If not, you will always be embarrassed when you hear the sound of the cup.Footnote:
1 The berkuasa.-H.A.32. Question Bird Sixth Twelve
Another bird Hudhud asked, "O you who become our leader, is there courage is needed in approaching grandeur Simurgh? It seems to me clear that those who have the courage free from many fears. Because you're including is so, then sprinkle pearls of wisdom and teach us the secret. "
"Anyone who respected decent," said Hudhud, "is Mahram1 for confidentiality divineness, and it is good to be bold when we know God confidentiality. But how is it possible for those who have the secrecy notify the other? Can a camel rider in the desert into the trust the king? But for anyone who is driven by pure love takes too little courage. Who is on the path to know yourself will know when Hanus brave, and do not let him die for lack of effort.
True dervish will be bold and confident because the real hope that dihayatinya. He was without fear because love will see Al-Malik everywhere. Because it is good and commendable courage because he enthusiast love burning. "God enthusiast and Servants Amid
Khorassan in prosperity for wise governance and Prince Amid. He was served by one hundred servant of Turkey with faces glowing like a full moon, and a cypress tree that slender body, legs like silver, and his breath fragrant musk. They wore pearl earrings are the reflection of the light illuminating the night and make it like daylight; their turban of the finest silk, and the circle of golden collar around his neck; chest wrapped in silver cloth and belts enriched with precious stones. They are all riding a white horse. Whoever saw one of them, will be immediately captivated her heart. Incidentally Sufi, dressed in rags and barefoot, see a collection of young people were in the distance, then asked, "Is this the ranks of angels riding?" They said to him, "The young people are the servants of Amid, prince in this city. "When the Lord heard this enthusiast, ignorance steam was rising to his head, and he cried," O Lord, the owner of the great tent, teach Amid maintaining his servants. "
If you like the majnun this; you will have the courage anyway; Lift yourself up high like a tree which is slender; but if you are leafless, do not try the courage and do not jest.
Recklessness enthusiast God is a good thing. They can not say whether it is good or bad way, they just know how to do.A Holy Gila
Hudhud continued, "An enthusiast of God go naked and hungry down the road in winter. Without home or shelter he was soaked with rain and melting snow. Finally he came to a ruined castle, and decided to take refuge there, but when he entered the doorway, a precarious fell on his head and cracked his skull, so that the blood flowed. She turned her face to the sky and said, "Can not beat the drum better than dropping a precarious empire on my head?"Prayer of the Gila
There is famine in Egypt, so worried that everywhere people almost die when they beg for bread. Incidentally a crazy pass by and see how many perished of starvation, then saying, God, "O Lord who has everything good in the world and in religion, because the Lord can not feed everyone, create fewer presumably."
If who ventured in the palace was about to say something that is unacceptable, he humbly had to beg for mercy.Madman Else
Sufi, enthusiast Lord, disturbed children who threw stones. He finally took refuge in a corner of a building. But at that moment it started to hail, and grains of ice falling from the roof level that opens, on the heads of the crazy. He thought that the ice grains of gravel and he was then stuck out his tongue and cursing children, who imagined being tossed pebbles, because the house was dark. Finally know that gravel just hailstones would, and he was sorry and prayed, "O Lord, is because the house is dark then I have sinned with my tongue."
If you understand the basics of their deeds in darkness, you will certainly forgive them.Footnote:

Another bird Hudhud asked, "During the life contained entity, shall Eternal love me very precious and can be received, and I never stopped remembering him. I've hung out with every living creature; and away from the feelings attached to them, I was not tied to anyone. Imbecility love to master the whole mind, then for me, love was enough. But love is not so beneficial for anyone, and now the time has come when I have to draw a line in my life that I may take the chalice of love of my beloved; then my eyes would be glowing because of its beauty, and my hands would touch his neck as a sign permesraan. "
Hudhud replied, "It is not the full ostentatious penyombongan so then we can be the honored guest for the Simurgh in the Caucasus Mountains. Do not be so boasted of love which you feel your confidence against him, because love is not given to every creature to have it. It would need to wind luck reveal the secret veil, and then Simurgh will draw you to him and you will sit down with him in sanastrinya. If you want to get to the shrine, first you should try to have knowledge of spirituality; if not, your love will turn into an ordeal Simurgh. For the sake of true happiness, it is necessary should Simurgh will love you anyway. "A dream Bayazid Followers
When Bayazid left the palace of this world, his followers saw that night in a dream and asked the main sheikh how he can be free of Munkar and Nakir.1
Sufi was also said to her, "When the two angels have been asking me about Al-Creator, I told them, 'That question can not be answered correctly, because if I say," he is my God, just like that ", this would only express a desire on my part alone; it's better when you come back to the Lord and please ask him how his opinion of me. When he called me his servant, then you will know that it is. If not, then he has left me in the treaty binds. Because it is not easy to achieve unity with God, is there any inappropriate for me to call him my Lord? If He is not pleased with the devotion, how can I confess to Him man's land? It is true that I have bowed my head but it should also be, that He called me his servant '. "Mahmud in room-Heat Hammam
One night Mahmud, in a sad state, go to hamman in disguise. A young waiter welcomed him and provide everything you need to be able to sweat with bertangas on a hot brazier. Then presented it to the Sultan than dry bread, and Sultan was eating it. Then the Sultan said to myself, "If you had this waitress objection accepted, certainly I will have his head cut off." Finally Sultan told the young people will go back to his palace. The young man said, "My master has been eating the servant of my lord have learned a bed servant, and lord had become a slave. The servant will always prefer to receive my master. Despite the fact that we come from the same substance, but in outward things, how can my lord domiciled compared with a low like this servant? "Sultan is very pleased with this answer, so seven more times he went as a guest of the servant. On the last occasion he said to the waiter that to ask one pennohonan. "When a servant, as a beggar, must submit a request," the waiter said, "Sultan certainly will not grant it." "Tell me what you want," said the Sultan, "even though it be a request to leave the hammam and the king." "Only one request for a servant," the waiter said, "namely, that should the Sultan will continue to be a servant. Being a waiter-bath sitting in a booth near the lord-heat better than a king in a park not with my lord. Because luck has come on because the slave-heat chamber, then do not know thank this servant when servants leave this chamber. The presence of lord has put into this place; What better can the servant asked besides himself lord himself? "
If you love God, try also to love Him. But while there is a search for love, which is always worn and always new, there is also the desire obol2 two pieces of silver from the treasury of the world; he is looking for a drop of water when he should be able to have oceans.Double Water Carrier
A water carrier, when met with a water carrier to another, ask for a little water to it. Which held that says, "O you who do not know spirituality, why do not you drink yours alone?" Were asked said, "Give me a little of your water, you who have spiritual knowledge, because I'm sick of mine own."
Adam satisfied with what is familiar to him, and that's why he ate the forbidden foods, 3 is something new to him. Sold anything that was for a long time to get the food. He also became the eyes of one. Love comes and knocks on the door for him. When he was completely dissolved in the lightning of love, what is old and the new was lost and not anything else to stay! But it is not feasible for anyone to abhor ourselves and refuse at all life long.Footnote:

3 In the English translation of the text C.S. Nott is actually mentioned "wheat" ("wheat"). Then the gloss he made about Adam mentioned that "whole grain" foods are off limits to Adam in heaven. (The Conferenfce of the Birds, page 141). But of this I found no reference in the Quran. I just discovered there that God forbade Adam approached "this tree" ("... wa la taqraba hazihi s-only-average ..." as mentioned in Surah 11: 35. Or demons persuaded Adam by saying that he would show her the "Tree of Eternity "(" tree of eternity "-" tree of immortality "by Pickthall) as mentioned in Surah XX: 120. But in writing Attar above, which is important for us is not the kind of food that is forbidden (literal meaning), but the meaning maknawinya. - HA34. Eighteen Birds Greeting
Another bird on Hudhud said, "I believe that I have been getting itself all the perfection of which may be obtained, and it was I get to various behavior incontinence painful. Because here was I get the results I want, it is hard for me to go to places that you mentioned it. Did you know people leave wealth to go with difficulty wandered through the mountains, in the jungle, and across the plains? "
Hudhud replied, "O creatures like demons, full of vanity and pride! You are immersed in selfish lust! You are so not like doing! You have been persuaded by thinking over your head and you're now far from divineness judge actions. Lust body has defeated soul; devil has stolen your brain. Pride has mastered yourself. The danger that you think you've just get in the Way Spiritual flame winked. Will taste sublime things just fanciful. Do not let yourself be seduced by the glitzy you saw. During deceiving body against you, be careful. You must fight this enemy, sword in hand. When the false light shows itself from the body deceiving you should look at it as a scorpion stings, for it should you use could bidder. Do not despair because of the darkness that will show you the road and because the light will you see there is not going to make you feel like a solar companion. As long as you, o dear, continue to be in ketakaburan life, then telaahmu on books and yourselves that is not how it will not be valuable piece of obol else. Only when you leave the pride and vanity of this, you will be able to leave the outward life without regret. As long as you are still on the vanity and pride and to judge actions outer life, one hundred arrows pain will stab you from all directions. "Shaikh Abubakar from Nishapur
Shaikh was out one day of the settlement and his followers, riding khimarnya, while his followers accompanied him on foot. Suddenly a loud fart khimars it once, and heard that the sheikh was shouting and tore apart khirkanya. His followers looked at him in surprise, and one asks why he did so, the sheikh said, "When I looked over and saw how many followers" I was thinking to myself, now I am really the same as Bayazid. Today I diiringkan followers are numerous and the most diligent; then one day I would be driving with pomp and honors in the field mahsyar. "He adds," At that moment, when I thought that as it was tertakdir me, then khimarku you hear a sound that seemed incompatible. With a voice that he wanted to say, 'This is the answer given an khimars told him that acting was great and so like to brag!' That is why fire regret so suddenly struck my soul and my attitude changed, and position kuhayalkan shattered. "
O you who turned on all the time, you're like the Pharaoh to the roots of your hair. But if you destroy "the I" in you one day, then darkness meliputimu will be bright. Do not say the word "me." You're going to fall into a hundred crimes because "I-I" thy, and you will always be tempted by the devil.The Lord said to Moses
One day the Lord said to Moses, magically, "Go ask the advice of Satan." So Moses went to see the devil, and came to him, he asked for her advice. "Always remember," said the Devil, "this would be a simple rule: do not say 'I,' so you're not going to be like me."
While still living in you a little love yourself, then you will take part also in ketaksetiaan. Laziness is the obstacle to the spiritual Path; but if you were to cross this hurdle, then briefly hundred "I" will break his head.
All had seen the arrogance and pride that is in you, hatred, envy and anger, but you yourself do not see it. There sesudut within you that is filled with dragons, and for failing you sacrificed to them; and you treat them as well as you look after them day and night. So if you are aware of the state of your mind, why should you live so do not care,
Dervishes Got Beard Beautiful
In the time of Moses there is a dervish who spent day and night in worship, but did not appreciate the sense of spirituality. He had a long beard beautiful, and often while praying, he stopped to comb the beard. One day, when he saw Moses, he got it and said, "O Pasha of Tursina, I beg you, ask God, why am I not experiencing spiritual satisfaction and emotion excited."
On the next occasion when Moses went Tursina he talked to God about dervishes, and the Lord was said in a tone not pleased, "Although the dervish had been looking for a union with me, but he always thought of beard long." When Moses came down, she told the dervish how the word of God. Hearing that, the dervish was immediately pulling his beard, weeping sadly. Gabriel then come get Moses and said, "Up until now he is still thinking about his beard. Nothing else thinks prayer time, and even more closely hearts on the beard while he pull them out. "
O you who feel no longer influenced by the beard, you're plunged in a sea of misery. If you can look at your beards with unbound attitude, you will be entitled to sail across the ocean. But if you plunge into it with a beard, you would find it difficult to get out.Small story about A bearded Longer Length
A drinker, whose long beard and nice, just happened to fall into deep water. Seeing this, a passing exclaimed, "Throw coffers and head." People are drowning man replied, "It's not a purse, this beard, and this is not my way." Said passers-by that, "Anyway , get rid of it, if you do not want to drown. "
O you who like a goat, and not ashamed beard, as long as no body you desire and demons that will menggulungmu, the pride of Pharaoh and Haman will become part of you anyway. Palingkan yourself from this world, as Moses did so, then you will be able to catch beard Pharaoh and held him tightly. He was walking on the road to self-perfection should look at him just as syisy kabab. People who carry a bucket watering can not wait for the rain to fall.35. Question Bird Nineteenth
Another bird on Hudhud said, "Tell me, you who is praised all over the world, what should I do in order to feel satisfied going on this trip? If you tell me, my heart will be lighter and I would be willing to lead in this effort. Indeed, the instructions need to be, so we do not become afraid. Because I just wanted to receive instruction from the unseen world, the good cause, I reject false clues from the creatures of the earth. "
"As long as you live," said Hudhud, "let you satisfied remembering God, and beware of the talk that is not wise. If you can do so, anxiety and sadness soul will disappear. Live in God with a sense of satisfaction; turn around like the dome of the sky because in love with him. If there is better you know, say it o the poor bird, so that you can feel happy at least for a moment. "Small stories about Friends of God
A friend of God dying started crying and the people who were with him to ask why. "I cried like the clouds of spring," he said, "because the time has come when I will die, and I'm worried. Given that my heart had been with the Lord, how can I die? "One of those present said," Because your heart is always with God, then you will get a good death. "Sufi replied," How could death come to him that unites himself with the Lord! Because I've been with him, then my death seems impossible. "
He was satisfied to live as part of the great universals leave lust ego and become free. Draw you in satisfaction with your friend, like the petals of roses.Small stories analogous
A person who has reached perfection said, "For seven years I've improved myself and now I'm in emotion-joy, satisfaction and happiness, and in this state, I also participated have sublime majesty and fused with Divinity itself. As for you, while you are busy looking for faults of others, how are you going to feel the excitement in the unseen world? If you look for errors with probing eyes, how can you know things in the inner world? You're not ashamed to do so meticulous search for the mistakes of others, but against your own mistakes, you're blind. Then admit your own mistakes, though you are a sinner, God will put compassion on you. "
Both Men who Drunk
A man who drank too much clear, it is often up to the state in which he lost both his awareness and sense of honor. Once, a friend caught in an unfortunate, lying on the road. Thus the friends get the sack and put the drunk in the bag by inserting his legs first, then supporting the bag on his shoulders and bring it home in the middle of the street, others appeared drunk people, staggering, supported his friend. Seeing this, the man whose head feebly from the sack was awake, and see other people in a state of pitiable it, he said, laments, "Ah, man wretched, the next time drinking wine, subtract two trophies again, then you will be able to run like I am right now -free and myself. "
Our own state was no different. We see mistakes because we do not love. If we have very little understanding of real love, the mistakes they are close to us appear as good qualities.Lover and Beloved
A young man, brave and fierce like a lion, for five years to make love to a woman. On the side of the eye beautiful woman that there is a tiny spot, but men, each looking at a beauty lover, never seeing the spots. How could a man who was drunk love, attention to a defect that is so small? However, in time, his love began to wane, and he regains guard. At that moment he could see the spots, and asked his girlfriend how it can happen that way. Said the woman, "Spot it looked at the time when love begins to cool. If you love me to be reduced, my eyes became so to you. "
O to be blind! How long will you continue to search for the mistakes of others? Try to literacy for anything you are hiding so carefully. When you look at your mistakes yourself with all the ugliness, you would not be so concerned about the mistakes of others.Police and Men who Drunk
A policeman knocked a man who told him drunk. "Why be angry so much? You're doing something that is against the law. I do not hurt anybody, but you involve yourself in drunkenness and intoxication throw it into the street. You're much more drunk than I am, but no one noticed it. So leave me alone, and demand justice against yourself. "36. Question Bird Twenty
Another bird said to Hudhud, "O Leader on this road, what should please the Simurgh when I get to where persemayamannya? Because this world would be illuminated by it, I did not know what was supposed to please. If I knew what was best I beg of Simurgh on his throne, then my heart will be glad. "
Hudhud replied, "O Si crazy! Amboi! You do not know what it should be kaumohon? Ask what is most wanted. Anyone should know what you want dimohonnya, although Simurgh itself is far better than anything that might want. Would you find out from him what would you ask? 'Prayer Sheikh Rubdar

"Word of God By David
The Lord of the Upper said to David, "Tell My servants: 'O blocky ground! I wish I did not have heaven as reward and hell as punishment, would you still remember Me? If there is no light or fire, would you still remember Me? But because I was worthy of the highest honor, you have to worship me without hope or fear; however, if you have never sustained the hope or fear, will you still remember Me? Because I liege, you should worship me from the bottom of your heart. Throw away everything that is not me, burn it to ashes, ashes and throw it to the wind virtue. "Mahmud and Ayaz
One day Mahmud summoned his favorite servant, and gave the crown on that person, then that person didudukkannya on his throne, and he said, "Ayaz, gave you dominion and my army. Rule, because this land is yours; and now I was expecting you to take my position and throw earrings penghambaanmu sign it to the Moon and Fish. "
When the officers and courtiers heard about it, they became a black eye because of envy and they said. "Nothing in this world ever a king give such a high honor to a servant." But Ayaz crying, and they said to him, "Are you crazy? You're no longer a slave, but belonged to the kings. Why are you crying? Should you feel satisfied! "Ayaz said," Gentlemen do not know the real situation. Gentlemen do not understand that the Sultan who ruled this great country has to throw myself from him. He hoped to rule his kingdom servant, but the servant did not want to part thereof. Servant want to serve him, but do not leave it. What was the servant of the government affairs and office of a king? Happiness is in seeing his servant. "
Learn from Ayaz how to serve God you're living laze the afternoon and evening, preoccupied with the pleasures of cheap and low. Ayaz fell from power, but you do not move out of place, nor do you have the slightest desire to change yourself. To whom are you finally going to be said that the grief-grief. As long as you are bound in heaven and hell, how will you be able to understand the secrets that want kusingkapkan to you; but if you are no longer bound by both the then dawn will be breaking the confidentiality of the night. Besides the park heaven teruntuk for the indifferent and the highest heavens teruntuk only for those who take.Prayer Rabi'a
"O God, you who know the secret of everything, lenyapkanlah worldly desires of my enemies, and my friends with a gift of eternity later life. But about myself, I'm not tied to both. Even if the world had the world now or later, but I will look at both of them insignificant compared to being close to you. I just need you alone. If it anyway I turned my eyes to the world's second, or crave anything other than you, I will be nothing more than an impious. "Word of God To David
World Creator said to David from behind a veil of secrecy. "Everything there is, good or bad, visible or invisible, movable or immovable, just a mere substitute goods if it is not I alone that you will not find its place and its twin. Because no one else can replace me, do you separate yourself from me. I need you, you're bound to me. Therefore, you crave what offers itself if it is not me. "Sultan Mahmud and Idols Somnat
Mahmud and his army discovered in Somnat an idol called Lat, to be destroyed. To save it, the Hindus offer gold weighing seven times the weight of idols, but Mahmud refused and ordered to make a big fire to burn the idol statue. Then one of the officers ventured to say, "My lord, would not it be better accept the gold and do not burn the idols that?" "The act will thus cause the mind to me," said Mahmud, "that on the day of reckoning efflux later, Al-Creator surely be told the whole universe gathered: 'Pay attention to what has been done -SI Azaz Azaz and Mahmud Mahmud make idols and sell them'. "
It is said that when the idol was on fire, a hundred baskets of precious stones was out, so that Mahmud get the treasure as well. He said, "Lat has got what he got and God should reward me."Other Small story about Mahmud
When the torch of the king's left Gazna to fight with Hindus and confront their armies were large, he discouraged, and he swore to Malikulhakim that if he wins, he will give you all the booty that fell into his hands to the dervishes , He got the victory and his troops can collect a large amount of wealth. When they are faced black had retreated leaving plunder it, Mahmud said, "Give this to the dervishes, as I have promised God to do so, and I must uphold my promise." Then the officers denied and said: "Why give so much gold and silver on a handful of people who did not join the fight! Why not give the army who have borne the battle distress, or at least, keep it in the royal treasury? "
Sultan was hesitating between his own oath and objections that. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hassein, an enthusiast of God, an intelligent but uneducated, passing in the street. Seeing him, in the distance Mahmud said, "Call the possessed it; tell him to come here and tell us what should be done, and I will stick to it; because he was not afraid of the Sultan and the army, he will give an opinion that is not biased. "When Sultan handed over the matter to Mrs. Hassein, the man said," My lord, this problem two obol, but when my lord want to do is fitting to God, then do not think again, Mr. glorious, two obol this case; and when Mr. get a win again because of His mercy, let Mr. embarrassed arrested two obol this. For God has given victory to the hosts, could what the Lord teruntuk for Tuan Tuan hold for yourself? "
Soon after Mahmud gave his property to the dervishes and become a great king.37. Question Bird Twenty One
Another bird on Hudhud said, "Tell us, o you who want to lead us to a place unknown Majesty, is the most valued in the palace? When facing to the king it would need to bring an offering of securities; only those who despised before the king with his bare hands. "
Hudhud replied, "If you follow my advice, you should take it to the country Simurgh what was found there. Is there a right we bring what is already there? True knowledge found there, the secrets are in there, adherence to higher found there. Then take the flame of love and longing soul; nothing else that can be given except this. If sehelaan breath of love is drawn to the place, he will deliver sweet heart. It was ordained for the soul fragrant juice. Anyone interesting sehelaan complained sincere repentance, instantly he will have salvation. "Joseph and Zulaiha
At a time when Zulaikha enjoy a high rank and dignity, he sent Joseph to enter the prison, and told one of his servants in order menderanya with sticks fifty times. "Hit him hard," he said, "so I can hear the cries of pain." But he kindly did not want to hurt Joseph; then took animal skins and said, "When I hit the leather, yell at each time flogging." When Zulaikha hear cries of Joseph, he went into the chamber in prison and said, "You're too soft on him, beat harder." Then the servant said to Joseph, "O solar brilliant! If Zulaikha examine yourself and the former did not see anything else, he was right to punish severely. Then telanjangkan shoulders and strengthen your heart and maintained punch-punch. When you shout because the blows, then he would not be so concerned the marks. "Joseph was menelanjangkan both shoulders, sticks override, and the shouts of Joseph soar. When Zulaikha heard it, he went closer and he said, "The screams have the expected consequences. Before this pointless moan of pain; now all that is real. "Shaikh Bin Ali Tusi
Bin Ali Tusi, one of the great wise in his day, walking in the valley of vigilance and alertness. I never knew a man who has a grandeur and achieve such perfection. One time he said, "In the other world, those darned poor will clearly see the inhabitants of heaven that tells them about the excitement in that place and taste persatumesraan. People who are happy it will be said, "The joy of the low is not here, because the sun has appeared on beauty divineness us, and so he explained that the eighth heaven seemed dark about it. In the glories of this beauty, no longer living from eternity, both the name and the mark! "Then those who are in hell will say," We think what you say is true, but for us in a horrible place it was clear that we has got the wrath of God, therefore, we have kept away from his face. We are reminded of the fire of hell fire of regret in our hearts. "
Try to hold the grief, pain, and injury, and with that show your passion. If you're injured, accept it, and do not perturutkan self-pity.Request Muhammad
A man humbly ask permission to pray on a rug Prophet, who turned it down and said, "Land and burning hot sand. Prostrate on the hot sands on the ground burning and streets, because they were wounded by love must have a mark on his face, and it should be visible scar. Let your heart visible scars, because the people who are on the path of love is known of the scar. "38. Question Bird Twenty Two and critical apparatus First Valley or Valley Search
These birds are said to Hudhud, "O you who know the way you've told us and who want us to follow you there, for me the way it was dark, and the dark, the way it looked very difficult, and many miles away."
Hudhud replied, "We have to cross seven valleys and only after we cross the valleys will find Simurgh. Who has this path will not ever go back to the world, and it was impossible to say how many miles the distance in front of us. Be patient, O coward, because all those who traverse this road as well as to nature.
Valley first is the Valley Search, the second Valley of Love, a third valley Conviction, the fourth valley Freedom and Deliverance, the fifth valley Oneness Pure, sixth valley of astonishment, and the seventh valley Poverty and Lack, more than that nothing can go Furthermore.
When you first entered the valley, valley search, hundred difficulty will ambush; you will experience a hundred trials. There, peacock sky nothing more than a fly. You must skip a few years there, you have to do great efforts, and the need to change the mood. You must leave everything that seemed valuable to you and looking at your possessions as not mean anything. If you are sure that you do not have a what, you still have to detach yourself from everything that exists. Then your heart will be saved from destruction and you will see the light of sacred majesty of godliness and true desires-desires will be limitless diperlipatgandakan. Who in here will be filled with longing such a way that he would devote himself fully in the search symbolized by this valley. He will ask for a sip of wine on the waiter carrying a trophy, and after he drank it, no longer being about him other than the pursuit of the goal of true. Then he would not be afraid of dragons doorman who would swallow it. When the door opened and he entered, then the teaching of religion, faith and infidelity -all were gone. "Essence of Ganj-Name, The Book of Treasures from Amr Osman
When God breathed life into Adam's body sacred are none other than land and water, God wants angels would not know about it, nor misdoubt. Even God said to them, "Prostrate before Adam? o Ruh Celestial "All they bowed down, and when they prostrate, God breathed life into Adam, and not one of them who knows the secret to hide God. That is, no one except the devil, who said to himself, "No one will see me knees. Although divorced my head from my body though, is not it will be just as disastrous to carry out what God wants. I know very well that not because of Adam's will on earth was it, then I'm not willing to bow down and to not see the secret of it. "And so, the devil did not bow down, but keep an eye on it, and see it secret. Finally God had said, "O you who are just waiting, you have to steal the secret, and for that you will I switch off, because I do not want anyone being privy to it. When the earthly king hid his treasure, he would kill him know the hidden treasures. And thou him. "
"Rabbi," said Satan, "would give the moratorium, because this servant of the man of Tuan; and guided servant presumably how can I atone for me. "" Because of the petitions, "the word of the Lord," I will give you moratorium; but from now on, will wear around your neck collar curse and will kulekatkan you name a liar and slanderer, so that everyone will be vigilant against you until the Day of Judgment. "
The devil says, "What should be the servant of fear because of the curse of the sacred treasure Tuan if this is revealed to me? When the curse comes from the Lord, it will come too forgiveness. Where no poison, there is also an antidote. Mr. condemned most creatures and bless others. Now that the servant had been transgressed, the slave becomes a creature curse you. '
If you can not find and understand the secret I say that, not because it did not exist, but because you do not search for it. If you like picky among anything that comes from God, then you're not facer Spiritual Path. If you see yourself honored with diamonds and humiliated by the stone, then God is not with you. Take a good look, do not you love diamonds and rejected stone, because both come from God. If at the time crazy, boyfriend pelt you with stones, it is better than jewels of another woman.
On the road of self improvement, we should not for a moment lena. If for a moment we stop perfecting itself, we will slip backward.The story of Majnun
A person who loves God sees Majnun mengayak1 middle ground on the street and said "Majnun, what are you looking for?" "I'm looking for Laila," he said. The man said again, "Are you hoping to get Laila's there?" "I'm looking for him everywhere," said Majnun, "with the hope to get somewhere."Yusuf Hamdani
Yusuf Hamdani an exalted in his day, a wise, who know the secrets of various world. He said, "Everything looks, either at the top or at the base of-every zarrah, in fact is another Ya'kub expecting news of Joseph's missing from it."
On the Spiritual Path of love and hope are both necessary. If you do not have that two is better if you leave the search. We must try to be patient. But if lovers ever patient? Be patient and try in hopes of getting a guide. Take charge of yourself and do not let the outer life menawanmu.The story of Abu Sa'id Mahnah
Shaikh Mahnah in extreme confusion, heart sad, when in the distance he saw an old man from the village with a pious face was walking lazily, while from his body radiating a bright light. Shaikh was saluted him and told him about the sadness they experienced. Old man from the village was listening, and after a moment's thought, he said, "O Bu Sa'id, suppose that people should fill the space of the land of the lowest to the throne of God with millet, not once but a hundred times, and suppose a bird every time take a grain barley for a thousand years and then flew a hundred times around the world, then the length of time so it was not a soul Tuan also received news of the celestial palace, and the Master would still remain far from the palace. "
Patience is a great need for those who suffer; but nothing could be patient. If the search was switched from the inner to the outer, although it extends also to the whole of nature, in the end it will not satisfy the search. He who was not involved in the search for inner life is nothing more than an animal-so can say. In fact, he was not there, he is something insignificant, a form without spirit.Mahmud and Gold Seekers
One night, while riding alone, Mahmud saw a man being sifted soil looking for gold; bow his head and that person here and there have been stockpiling piles of dust sifted. Sultan looked at him, then threw the bracelet in between piles it and then go gallop like the wind. Mahmud returned the next night and get the man still sift anyway. "What you got yesterday," said the sultan, "will be enough for paying tribute to the world, but you still continue also sift!" The man replied, "Servant get a bracelet that Mr. throw it, and because the servant has earned treasure sort that the servant should continue to search for slave life. "
Be like it and try looking up the door open for you. Your eyes will not shut always; look for the door.A sentence of Rabi'a
A man prayed, "Ya Rabbi, open the door so that the servant be facing you." Hearing the man's prayer, Rabi'a said, "O madman! Is there the door was closed? "Footnote:
1 sifting, filtering. - H.A.39. Second Valley or the Valley of Love
Hudhud continued, "the next valley is the Valley of Love. To enter it we have to be a burning fire -that can say. We ourselves must be fire. Lover's face should light, glitter and blazing like fire. True love does not know the thoughts that followed; with love, good and evil did not exist anymore.
But as for you, the indifferent and do not care, this conversation will not touch you, will not even sliver by the teeth. Who is faithful risking cash, even risking the head, to be one with his best friend. Others are satisfied by promising what they will do for you tomorrow. When he started this journey would not involve themselves wholly and fully, he will not be free of sorrow and melancholy memberatinya. Before eagle achieve his goal, he was troubled and sad. If didamparkan fish to the shore by the waves, he floundered about to go back into the water.
In this valley, love symbolized by fire, and the mind with smoke. When love comes, mind vanished. The mind can not live with ignorance of love; love does not deal with human minds. If you have an inner vision, zarrah-zarrah of the visible world will be revealed to you. But when you look at everything with the eyes of ordinary mind, you'll never understand how necessary it is to love. Only he who has been tested and could feel this free. He who took this trip should have a thousand hearts so that every moment he can sacrifice one. "A Koja who Drunk Love
A Koja sell all that belongs to him - furniture, servants and all, to buy beer from a beer vendor who was younger. He did so mad love for this beer seller. He is always hungry because when he was given bread, bread sold it to buy beer. Finally someone asked him, "How exactly the love that brought you into this unfortunate situation? Tell me the secret! "" Love is such that, "replied the Koja it," so we want to sell merchandise from a hundred worlds to buy beer. As long as we do not understand this, we will never appreciate the true feelings of love. "The story of Majnun
Parents forbid Laila Majnun approached their camp. But Majnun, lovelorn, borrowed sheepskin of a shepherd in the desert, where tribal Laila pitch his tent. He stoops down and dressed in sheepskin, and then he said to the pastor, "In the name of God, let me come crawling in the middle of your sheep, then bring the flock across the tent Laila, so hopefully I can smell the fragrance delights, and by hiding themselves in a leather sheath hopefully I can arrange something. "The shepherd did as desired Majnun, and when they crossed the tent Laila Majnun see the girl, then fainted. The shepherd then carried him out of the tent into the desert, then flush with water to cool his face lit love.
On another day, Majnun was with some friends in the desert, and one asked him, "How can you, a respectable, go everywhere barefoot alone? Let the clothes I'm looking for you if you want. "Majnun said," Nobody would wear decent clothes for my beloved, then to me no better than my body naked or piece of sheepskin. Laila, to me, like Ispand antidote to evil influences. Majnun certainly would love to wear clothes of silk and gold, but he prefers the sheep's skin, because by using it he will be able to see at a glance the face of Laila. "
Love must necessarily rip-cast out of prudence. Love to change your attitude. Love is sacrifice ordinary life and leave the fun-enjoyment conspicuous.A Beggar Love Ayaz
A dervish is poor once fell in love with Ayaz, and the news soon spread. When Ayaz riding on roads strewn with sweet musk, dervish was used to waiting and then ran to get it, then looked at him like a polo player staked his eyes toward the ball. Finally people were reported to Mahmud of beggars who love this Ayaz. One day, when Ayaz riding with the sovereign, the sultan stopped and looked at the dervish, and she saw that Ayaz soul like a grain of wheat and face it like a dervish flour dough circle that encloses the wheat grains.
It seemed to him that the beggar stooped backs like polo ball bat, and his head spinning like a ball fully in the polo game. Mahmud said, "The poor beggar them, would you drink from a cup with the Emperor?" "Although this servant called Sir beggar," replied the dervish, "but the servant is not lost with my master in the game of love. Love and poverty line. The sovereign lord and master glowing hearts; but for love, a heart that lights up like a servant is needed. Love Tuan too ordinary. Servant suffer sadness because of the separation. Host with her lover; but in love we must know how to suffer sadness because of the separation. "
Sultan said, "O you who have withdrawn from ordinary life, love you like a game of polo?" "That," replied the beggar, "because the ball is always moving, like a slave, and a slave was like a ball of it. The ball and the servant had heads spinning, even though we do not have hands or legs. We can come together to talk about the suffering inflicted by a bat at us; but the ball was more fortunate than a slave, as the horse with his feet touched every time. The ball had received a blow on his bat, but servants feel the blows it in a servant's heart. "
"Dervish are poor," said the Sultan, "you boast poverty, but where is the evidence that can kauperlihatkan?"
"Servant sacrificed everything for the sake of love," replied the dervish, "is a sign of spiritual poverty servant. And when the Lord, o Mahmud, never live the love of the truth, Mr. korbankanlah life to it; if not, Tuan has no right to talk about love. "
Having said so, he is dead, and the world became dark for Mahmud.An Arab in Persian
Once an Arab went to Persia and was surprised to see the customs of the country. One day he happened through the settlement group Qalandar1 and saw some men who do not speak a word. They had no wife and no piece obol too, but they are to be pure and clean. Each holding a bottle of wine concentrated poured carefully before sitting down. Arabs it was pleased with them; he stopped and at that moment his heart and mind fixed on that road.
This saw the Qalandar said, "Come, o people without means!" So that, inevitably he entered. He was given sepiala wine and soon he was unconscious. He was so drunk and lost strength. Gold and silver and precious belongings were taken by one of the Qalandar, and he was given wine more, and finally he was thrown out of the house. Then the Arabs went home to his own country, one-eyed and poor, the situation is changing and dry lips. Arriving at his birthplace, his friends asked him, "What is it? You pengapakan money and belongings are worth it? Are stolen when you sleep? Are there any you have done poorly in Persian? Tell us! Maybe we can help you! "
"I ngeloyor here and there on the road," he said, "and suddenly I met with the Qalandar. I know nobody else except that I had lost all of mine and now I have nothing left. "They asked him to give an overview of the Qalandar it. He answered simply, "People were just saying to me, 'Come in'."
Arabs so remains in a state of wonder and amazement, like a child, and stare because the word "Go".
Then you too should move forward. If you do not want, then follow the thinking over your head. But if you prefer the secrecy of love from your soul, then you will sacrifice everything. You will lose what you valuable perspective, but you will soon hear the solemn words, "Enter".The Lovers are Losing Her lover
A man who aspires to the sublime love with a beautiful young woman. But in the meantime his idol women to be thin and as pale yellow colored turmeric twigs. A sunny day vanished from his heart; and death, waiting from a distance, coming closer. When a man who loved knowing this, he took a machete and said, "I'm going to go kill my beloved where he is so that the beautiful which is like a painting this marvelous did not die because of nature." People were saying to him, "What You are crazy! Why should you want to kill the woman when she was near death? "The lover said," If he's dead because of my hands, then the people will kill me, because I should not kill myself. Then on the Day of Judgment one day, we will be together again as we are today. If I was killed, because of her passionate desire, then we will become one, like the flame on a candle lit. "
Lovers who have risked their lives for the love they have entered the path. In the life of the Spirit, they are united by their love moorings.Ibrahim and Malakul Death
When it came time friend of the Lord is about to pass away, he was reluctant to give his life on Azrael. "Wait," he said on Azrael. "Is there Malikulalam had asked him?" But Allah Ta'ala said to Abraham, "If you were really my friend, do not you want to come to me? He who regret giving his life for his friend wanted his life torn apart by the sword. "Then, one of those present there said," O Ibrahim, Light of the World, why not put lives Tuan Tuan willingly on Azrael? The lovers in the spiritual road risking his life for the sake of their love; Tuan Tuan considers life worthwhile. "Said Ibrahim," How can I let go of my life when Azrael had to stop it? I did not heed his request, because I only remember God. When Nimrod deliver me into the fire and Gabriel came to me, not kuindahkan him because I only remember God. Because I turned my head of Gabriel could I expected to surrender my life to Azrael? If I hear the Lord said, 'Give your life to me!' Then my life was not worth more than a grain of wheat. How could I give my life to someone if he did not ask for it. That's all I have to say. "Footnote:
1 Group of the Dervishes in Persia and Arabia that aims to wander forever. Founded by Qalandar Yusuf al-Andalusi from Spain.40. Third Valley or Valley of Conviction
Hudhud continued, "After I'm talking about the valley, following another valley - Valley Conviction, which was started and never ended. There is no way the same in this way, and the distance to go for cross unpredictable. Conviction, for every facer of the journey, the eternal nature; but knowledge is only temporary. Soul, like the body, is in the development of forward and backward; and the Spiritual Path was only manifest itself in the rate at which the journey facer it had overcome the mistakes and kelemahankelemahannya, sleep and laziness and every facer journey that will grow closer to its goal, each in accordance with its business. Although a fly with all his ability can he match the speed of the wind? There are various ways across this valley, and all the birds are not the same flight. Conversion can be achieved in various ways-some have found it in the Mihrab, one another on idol statues. When the sun illuminates the conviction of this road, each will receive the light according to a charity effort and get a rate that has been set for him to realize the truth. When the confidential nature of the creature reveals itself clearly to him, the fireplace becomes the rose garden world. He who seeks will be able to see the almond sheltered in the hard skin. He will no longer preoccupied with himself, but will be looked up at his friend's face. At each zarrah he will be able to see a whole; he will reflect on the thousands of secret brilliant.
But how much has been lost in the search for a bookmark Way have discovered the secret! It would need to have a deep desire and remains to be, as a state we should make this difficult across the valley. Once you have received his secrets, then you will really want to understand all of it. But whatever way you achieve, do not ever forget the words of the Quran, 'Is there another one?'
Would like you were sleeping (and I can not praise you because of the way), why not sad? You are not seeing the beauty of your friend, get up and try to look for! How long will you remain as you doing now, like a donkey without neck strap! "Tears Stone
Is a man in China who gathered stones incessantly. He shed tears in abundance, and when the tears fall to the ground, transformed into stone, which each time it collects. If the clouds must weep like that, it will cause grief and complaints.
True knowledge belongs to sincere seekers. If necessary seek knowledge to China, then go. But knowledge corrupted by a shallow mind, it hardens, like a stone. How much longer true knowledge will continue to be misunderstood? This world, this sadness house, there in the darkness; but true knowledge is perrnata, he would light up like a light and show the way to you in this dark place. If you dismiss this jewel, you will be seriously regrettable. If you were scattered in the back, you will cry bitterly. But if you're just a little sleep at night, and fasting during the day, you may get what you seek. So look, and immerse yourself in search of it.Sleeping lover
A lover, feeling anxious and worried, and exhausted by complaining, asleep on a tomb mound. Lover came to her and saw she was asleep, he wrote a letter last small cloak pinned in pencintanya it. When the lovers wake up and read what he had written her lover, he also complained sad, because the letter reads, "O men idiot! Arise, and if you're a merchant, berdaganglah and get the money; if you're an ascetic, awake night and pray to God and be his servant. But if you're a lover, merasalah ashamed of yourself. What is the point of sleep for a lover's eyes? In the daytime race lovers with the wind; at night her heart that made her face glow lit up the series with brilliant moonlight. If you're not a man like that, do not pretend to love me again. If someone could sleep somewhere else and not in his grave, must say he was a lover-but, lovers of themselves. "Guard soldier who Medium In Love
A soldier is in love. While no escort was he could not sleep. Finally a friend told him to sleep a few hours. The soldier said, "I am soldier guard, and I'm in love. How can I break? A soldier who was on duty can not sleep, then
Such would be an advantage for him in sex. Every night love to test myself, and therefore I can stay awake and guarding the fort. Love is a friend of the soldier guard, because the circumstances in case becomes a part of him; he who reaches such a state will always be alert. "
Do not sleep, o man, if you're trying to gain knowledge about yourself. Guard well your heart fort, because many thieves everywhere. Do not let the robbers stole gems that you take. True knowledge will come to him who can remain on guard. He patiently berkawal be conscious know when God comes closer. The true lover who wants to give himself the anesthetic intoxication of love will go alone. He who has a spiritual love in his hands grasping the key both worlds. If she is a woman, she would be male; and if he is male, he will be a deep ocean.Mahmud and the Mad God
One day, in the desert, Mahmud saw a fakir who bowed their heads sadly humpbacked because of grief. When Sultan approached him, the man said, "Get out! Or would I hit you a hundred times. Go, I say, you're not a king, but like-minded people abject, a disbeliever in God's eyes. "Mahmud replied sharply," Speak to me as befits the sultan, do not like it. "Answer fakir was," If you know, o si stupid, how you're upside-down, the kingdom and wealth did not mean anything; you will mourn endlessly and burn your head. "Footnote:
1 alcove in the mosque facing Mecca. (Place of prayer for the priest who led the prayer together. - HA)41. Fourth Valley or the Valley Freedom and Deliverance
Hudhud continued, "Then followed the valley where there is no desire to have or desire to find. In an atmosphere of soul thus, the cold wind was blowing, so intense that in a moment only the wind was causing extensive damage infinity: the seven seas no more than a pit of water, the seventh Kaukab just a speck of a spark, the seventh sky only a carcass, seventh hell just crushed ice. Then, something surprising, absurd! A hundred ants as strong as an elephant, and a hundred caravans were killed while a crow was filling its crop.
So that Adam could receive heavenly light, green-clad angels row gripped by grief. So that Noah can be a carpenter God and make a boat, thousands of creatures perished in the waters. Tens of thousands of mosquitoes attack Abraha's army that the king was deposed. Thousands of babies die so that Moses could see God. Thousands of people wearing belts Christians that Jesus can have God's secret. Thousands of heart and soul that Muhammad can bermikraj robbed of a night sky. In the valley is not anything new or old to be valuable; you're allowed to do or not do. When you see the whole world on fire and all the hearts of no more than syisy kabab, the new dream alone compared with actual reality. If tens of thousands of lives have to sink into the ocean of infinite, it would be like a drop of dew alone. When the heavens and the earth must explode so small parts, it would not be more than a sprig of leaves falling from the trees; and when everything had to be destroyed, since the fish up to a month, will appear at the bottom wells legs paralyzed an ant? If no more traces of man and jinn, confidential drop of water, where everything happens, remains to be contemplated. "Young people who fell into a well
In my village there was a young man, handsome like Joseph, who fell into a well and the soil was locked. When people took it, she was in a sad state. This commendable young man named Muhammad, and liked everyone. Father complained when he saw her and said, "O Muhammad, you are the light of my eyes and the soul of your father. O my son, speak a word to your father! "The son said a word, and died, so.
O you, the young students in the way of spiritual knowledge, and who can review ponder, think about Muhammad and Adam; think about Adam and zarrah-zarrah, the whole and the parts of the whole; talk about the earth and the sky for the sake of heaven, of the mountains and the ocean; talk about fairies and gods, of men and angels, about one hundred thousand inhabitants sacred, poignant moments of the life removing; saying that every person, body and soul, does not mean anything. If you're the world's second pulverized into dust and you filter a hundred times, how would you? Happens to be like palaces upside down, and you do not find anything on the surface of the screening
This valley is not so easy to pass as you might think with keluguanmu. Even if your heart blood will meet the ocean, you will only be able to start the first phase. Although suppose you should also explore every street in the world, but you will remain on the first step. There is no traveler who has to know the limits of this trip and no others have found the antidote of love. If you stop, you're going to freeze, or even going to die; If you continue your way, always forward, you will hear forever cry: "Go continues further." You can not run and stay quit. There was no benefit either alive or dead.
What benefits have you got from all that has happened to you? What have you gained from the difficulties that successfully you overcome? Does not make much sense if you're going to banging your head or not. O you who listen to me, let stayed silent and tried diligently.
Leave a purpose-goal useless and catch all what is essential. Bersibuklah little as possible with the things in the outer world, but bersibuklah a lot of things in the inner world. Then the activities that would defeat the circumstances did not look alive. But those who do not find a bidder in a spicy, it is better not to do anything because you have to know when to look alive and when to refrain from activities. But how to know what is not possible to know? However, it is still possible spicy as you should do, though not realize. Forget everything you've done up to now, and try to free and cukupdengan yourself, although sometimes you will cry and sometimes fun. In the Valley Fourth lightning ability, which is the discovery of the sources yourself, adequacy yourself, lit so that the heat of burning a hundred world. Because hundreds of the world into a powder, is there any wonder that your own world will vanish anyway?Necromancer
Have you seen a wise spread forecast boards and meet the surface with sand? There he made numbers and streaks stripes and placed stars and Kaukab, earth and sky. Occasionally made predictions of the sky, sometimes from the earth. Also made images of stars and symbols of constellations, and showed the rise and fall of the stars, and from here concludes the predictions are good or bad. After foretoken good or bad luck, he lifted one corner of the board forecasts and diserakkannya sand, and is as if all the emblems and figures that never existed.
The world's surface that occur coincidentally similar to the prediction board. If you're powerless against the desire for things that are superficial in this world, then turn away from it and sit in the corner. Many men and women receive life without any thoughts about the world and the inner world is born.Flies and Honey
A fly that is looking for honey saw a beehive in a garden. The desire for honey has been made such that we will see him as a lion. And fly it exclaimed, "I'll se-obol who want to help bring me get into this nest." Some feel sorry for him, and with wage-obol se was helping flies that enter. But once inside, the fly leg that was attached to the honey. Although he kepakkan wing-flapping and jumping here and there, but the situation is more depressing, and he complained, "This cruelty, these toxins. I was trapped. Se-obol I gave earlier to get in, but now with pleasure I gave two obol to get out. "
"In this valley," said Hudhud hereinafter, "so that no living being is not viable, and anybody should enter this valley only after reaching a certain level of development.
Now is the time to try and not live in uncertainty and pass the time with no care. Arise you from masabodoh attitude, leave attachments inwardly and outwardly, and across the valley this difficult; because if you do not leave it, you will be more than the devotees regardless of the gods, and you'll never have enough with yourself. "Words on A disciple Sheikh
A pupil for an answer from the teacher on a question that is not useful. The Shaykh said, "It used to wash your face. Can smell the sweet musk smell the rot? I do not give knowledge to people who are drunk. "A Dervish Loving Daughter Preserver Dog
Is at once a commendable sheikh who wore khirka poverty, but he fell in love with the daughter of a lot to raise dogs, and hopefully will be able to see the princess, he was living and sleeping on the streets. The girl's mother knew this and said the sheikh was, "You of course know that we are keepers of dogs, but because you fell in love with our daughter, then you may marry another year, and stay with us; and you must be willing to be keepers of dogs and accept our way of life. "Because sheikh was unsparing of his love, so he disrobed Sufi and start working. Every day brought a dog into the market, and that it continued to do so for nearly a year. One day, a Sufi another, who is also his friend, told him, "O people abject, for thirty years you have to pursue and contemplate judge actions spiritual, and now you do what's never been done by people who are aligned with you! "
Shaikh replied, "You do not see the real thing, do not argue. If you want to understand, know that only God knows the secrecy and only He can reveal it. Better look ridiculous rather than like you, never entered confidentiality Spiritual Path. "
2. Fifth Valley or the Valley of Oneness
Hudhud continued, "You so have to cross the Valley of Oneness. In this valley everything broke into pieces and then fused. Everything uphold head here hold his head from the collar on that one too. Although if you look at the form of the lot, but in fact only one. All is one that is perfect in its unity. And once again, do you see as oneness is no different from that looked as much. And since I'm talking about the realization of oneness and resolve a matter, no longer thinking of immortality as the first and that then, and because both immortality is gone, no more talk about it. When everything seemed to be gone, what else lives to contemplate? "Answer Mad God
Someone asked a wise, "What is this world? Can be compared to what? "He said," This world, blend of horror and crime, is like a palm-tree of candles adorned with a hundred colors. When kauremas the tree, he became a lump of wax; Therefore the colors and shapes that you admire are not worth se-obol too. If there is oneness there can be no keduaan; both 'I' and 'you' is not important.
But what is the point of my words, though it arises from the depths of my soul, if you do not ponder. If you have been plunged into a sea of outer life, such as partridge with wings and lar that can not sustain it, then do not ever stop thinking about how to reach the shore. "Shaykh Bu Ali Dakkah
An elderly woman handed a piece of gold at Bu Ali and said, "Take it from me." Bu Ali replied, "I just can receive anything from God." The old woman with the right answer, "Where did you learn to see double? You are not the person who can knot-described. Now if you do not cross-eyed, you will can see some things together? "
Tiadalah Kaaba and the Pagoda. Learn the true teachings of my mouth -adanya Being immortal. We do not see anyone else but him. We are in Him, for Him, and with Him. We may also be outside these circumstances. Anyone who does not soak in the Ocean of Oneness is not worth as human beings.
Will come a day when the Sun will reveal the veil which shrouded. As long as you separate, both good and bad will arise in you, but if you negate yourself in the Sun Divinity Itself, good and bad it will be overcome by love. While you tarry on the road, you will be captured by the mistakes and weaknesses. Have not you realized that in you there is pride, arrogance, self-esteem, self-love and other properties dirty! Although snakes and scorpions may die seems to be in you, but they just slept; and when they moved, they would wake up with the strength of a hundred dragon. In each of us there is a hell of snakes. If you can save yourself from these filthy creatures, you'll stay calm; if not, they will be even menyakitkanmu with you in the dust despite the grave until the day of reckoning in the future.
And now, o Attar, leave your speech full of like and come back to the granting of the valley Oneness secretive.
Hudhud continued, "When the spiritual traveler enters this valley, he will vanish and disappear from view, as Being Not Inversely it presents itself; the traveler will be silent because of this realization will be said.
Part will become whole, or more precisely, there will be no further part or in whole. The secret is in the group will see thousands of people with knowledge of the intelligence of the mind, they gaped silent lips. What does it mean intelligence knowledge mind here. He stopped in the doorway like a child who is blind. He who finds something of this Secret looked away from the world's second empire. I'm talking about a form of it exists not in isolation; everything is this realization; Being there and this is nothing. "
Lukman prayer Sarkhasi
Sarkhasi Lukman said, "O Lord, I am old, and thought tumultuous servant; the servant had gone astray from the Path. For an old man of the common people gave letters of freedom. In slave devotion to you, o king's servant, the servant of black hair has turned white snow. A servant of servants, who feel sad slave would give a letter of freedom now. "
A voice from the inner world said, "You, who have mainly been allowed to this holy place, know that he who desires freedom from servitude, should throw his mind and not let himself be filled with anxiety and fear."
Lukman said, "O Lord's servant, only Thou servant dearer, and the servant know that I should not let themselves be influenced wishful thinking or anxiety and fear." After Lukman leave all of that, he said, "Now the servant does not know who the servant , The servant is not the man, but who the servant? Position servant as servant has ended, but did not replace freedom servant in a servant's heart there is no love and sorrow. Servant without nature, but not losing sight of its servant, the servant of a contemplative, but the servant had no afterthought. The servant does not know whether you are slave or servant of thee; servants has been nothing in Thee and keduaan vanished away. "Lovers Save a Beloved of the River
A young woman fell into the river, and plunged pencintanya want to save him. When the lovers were able to achieve it, the woman said, "Oh, why are you risking your life for me?" Replied the lover, "I have no one else except you. When we are together, then indeed I have you, and you me. We both have one. Both self-us one, that's all. "
When keduaan gone, the oneness found.Another story about Mahmud and Ayaz
There is told that once Faruk: attendance at fairs and Masud Mahmud armies consisting of elephants, horses and warrior troops are innumerable, so that the earth seemed covered with ants and grasshoppers. Ayaz and accompanying Mahmud Hassan who was sitting in a high place.

Although the word -said pronounced by the famous Mahmud was, however Ayaz looks unconcerned and motionless; no he thanked the king and give reviews. With astonishment, Hassan also said to her, "Ayaz, a king has given honor to you, an ordinary servant, and you were not a few also showed signs of gratitude; you did not also bend or kneel as a sign of respect. "Ayaz little thought and then he said," Must I give two answers celaanmu: the first is that if I, who had no provisions and this position, wanted to show my devotion to the king, then I can only allot yourself in the dust in front of him in a kind of self-abasement or otherwise, singing praise him with the sound of howling. Between doing exaggerated and do too little, it is better not to do anything. This servant of the servant of the king, and respect for the king is regarded as granted. As for the honor that has been bestowed on the king who is happy me, if the world should declare the praises of him, testimony both that would not be proportional to the goodness of the king. If I do not show excessive behavior, and did not declare allegiance, is because I feel I am not worthy to do so. "
Hassan said, "O Ayaz, I know now that you feel grateful and I put trust you because you deserve a hundred grace." Then he added, "Now tell me answer the second." But Ayaz said, "Can not I talk to free in front; it can only do if I was alone with the king. You're not a mahram secret. "So the king also asked that Hassan left them, and when there is no more" we "or" I ", then Ayaz said," When the king is pleased to cast a glance at myself servant, he gutted adaku with the glories of light , Because in the light of the glorious sun that I do not exist anymore, how I would prostrate myself? Ayaz is shadow, lost in the sun face. "
43. Sixth Valley, Valley of astonishment and confusion
After following the Loire Valley Oneness astonishment and confusion, in which we fall prey to grief and sorrow. There complaints like a sword, and every breath is a painful complaint; there, is grief and lamentation, and longing on. Day and night are in unison. There was a fire, but we feel depressed and hopeless. Betapakah, in this confusion, we will continue the journey? But for those who have achieved oneness, he forgot everything and forgets himself. If he was asked, "Are you, or is not there do you? Do you feel there or not? Were you there in the middle or on the edge? Are you mortal or eternal? "He would answer with certainty," I do not know anything, I do not understand anything. I'm not conscious of myself. I'm in love, but with whom, I do not know. My heart is full and empty at the same time love. "Daughter Who Loved His servants
A king, the kingdom that stretched to the horizon-distant horizon, having a daughter as beautiful as the moon. In the presence of beauty, even fairies felt ashamed. Chin notched similar to the well of Joseph, one hundred and curls injure the liver. Eyebrows arc twins. And when the release of arrows from the bow, the space in between was singing praise for her. His eyes, glazed like a flower narcissistic, throwing her eyelashes thorns in the way of the wise. His face was like the sun when replacing virginity month. Archangel Gabriel could not take his eyes of pearls and verb-verb in his mouth. Lips smile that looked dried up the water of life, which is still begging alms from those lips as well. Who looked at his chin would fall headlong into the water source foaming.
The king also had a servant, a young man so handsome that the sun became pale and gloomy moonlight. When the young man was walking on the streets and in the markets, people stopped going to look at it.
Incidentally one day princess saw the slave, and immediately he fell in love. Thoughts disappear and love was mastered. Withdrawing from his friends, the daughter was pondering. And by pondering and imagine, he started burning love. So he called ten ladies of honor the young ones. They are accomplished musicians, players wind instruments and flutes; they sound like the voice of a nightingale, and their singing, which tears the soul, comparable to the singing of David. Having told them to gather around him, he was told the situation himself by saying that he is willing to sacrifice the name, dignity and life for the love of the young men was: because if people are so immersed in love, he is awkward for other things. "But," he said, "when I told him about my love, no doubt he will do something less thought. If people know that I was making out with a servant, then he and I will certainly suffer. Conversely, if he does not have me, I will die languish behind the curtain sanastri. I have read a hundred books about patience, but I still did not have the patience. What is my power! I had to find a way to enjoy the love of the slender cypress trees, so my physical passion would be in line with the longing of my soul - and this must be done without telling him. "
Then the maids who melodious voice that says, "Let not my lord Princess sad. Tonight we will bring him here without telling anyone, even he will not know anything about it. "
Soon one of a teenage girl went quietly getting the slave, and the like tinkering, asked the servant carrying two wine goblet. Into one trophy that the inclusion of the drug, while he was looking for the reason that the servant would drink it. Soon the servant was asleep, so the ladies can carry out his plan, and young people who chested the silver was still not proclaim herself.
When night falls, maids of honor came sneaking into a servant lying, then put him on a stretcher and took him to a place ladyship. Then they slave's put it on the golden throne and they wore strings of pearls on her head. At midnight, still a little drugged by the drug, the servant opened his eyes and saw the palace as beautiful as heaven, being around the seats of gold. The place was illuminated with large candles were given ten resin-fragrant incense, fragrant sandalwood was burned in vessels. Young women began to sing the songs are so melodious that thought seemed to say goodbye to the soul, and the soul in the body. Then the wine sun was circling around the flame of the candles. Confused because of the excitement around him and blinded by the beauty princess, the young man lost consciousness. He really no longer exists in this world nor in the other world. With a heart full of love, passion and soul controlled yearning, in the midst of all this joy he was immersed in emotion-joy. His eyes fixed on the princess's beauty and ears at the sound of the flute bamboo flute. Nostrils inhale the fragrant resins frankincense, and wine in the mouth becoming like liquid fire. Princess kissed her, and the servants shed tears of joy, while the princess unite with tears tears that servants. Sometimes the princess emphasized the sweet kiss on the mouth of the servant, sometimes kiss flavored taste of salt; Sometimes the princess mengusutmasaikan servant long hair, it sometimes loses himself in the eyes of the servants. The servant has a princess; and thus they miss time until dawn in the East. When the morning breeze blowing, the young servant felt sad, but they made him sleep again and then they take it back to his friends.
When he chested silver was aware, without knowing why she was crying. People may say that the event was finished, then what is the point lamented. The servant tore his clothes, pulling at his hair and soiling his head to the ground. Those around him asked why he did so, and what has happened. The servant said, "It can not describe what I have seen, there is no other person who may have seen except in dreams, because what has happened to me would never have occurred to anyone before. There is no longer a secret more amazing. "
A friend said, "Get up and tell us at least one hundred events that happened." Replied the servant, "I'm confused because what I saw that I've had with other bodies. As I did not hear anything, I hear everything; while not seeing anything, I saw everything. "
Another said, "Did you have to lose consciousness or did you have a dream?" "Ah," said the slave, "I do not know whether I was drunk or sober at the time. What could be more confusing than anything that is not exposed and not hidden. What I had seen was not likely to forget, but I can not imagine where it happened. During the whole night I be happy with a beautiful princess unequaled. Who and what exactly he is, I do not know. Only the love of living, that's all. But God knows the truth. "
The mother and son Woman Who Died
A passer-by, who saw the grave of a mother weeping daughter, said, "This woman is superior to us men, because he knows who have gone thereof and with whom he had been separated. Fortunately for women, or men, who knew who had gone thereof, and who she was crying. As for myself, though I sat wailing and tears flowed like rain, but I do not know who kutangisi. This woman steal the ball hallmarks of thousands of people like me this, because he has found the sweet creature that has been missing from it. "Lost keys
Sufi hear people exclaim, "Can anyone find the key? I locked my door and stood in the dust of the road. When my door stayed closed, what should I do? "

Are you better than my situation, because I do not have doors or locks. Pray to God that I can find the door, which was open or closed.
People always live in fantasy, in dreams; nothing is to see things as they are. To him who says to you, "What should I do? 'Say to him," Do not do what you used to do that already during this time; Do not do what you are used to doing all this time. "He who enters the Valley of astonishment is quite sad to think of a hundred world. For myself, I was confused and lost. Where am I going to go? Pray to God that I know! But remember, man will degrade mercy lament.Seeing pupil teacher in a Dream
A pupil at a late night viewing teacher in a dream and told him, "Where would Various circumstances where hosts are now? After the death of Tuan, Tuan pupil has been entangled in the confusion and waste away because of grief. "

Hudhud continued, "Last of all the following Keterampasan and Death Valley, which is almost impossible to be described. This valley is the nature of forgetfulness, blindness, deafness and confusion; hundred shadows melingkungimu sepancar disappears in celestial solar rays. When the oceans kemaharayaan start raging, the pattern on the surface also losing its shape; and the pattern of the world is none other than the world now and later. Who said that he got no great virtue? Water points that are part of the sea of this highway will remain there forever and in peace. In a calm sea, we initially will only shame and keterbuangan; but after the lift of these circumstances, we will understand it as a creation, and plenty of secrecy will be revealed to us.
Many creatures have been wrong to take the first step and therefore, can not take the second step -they only comparable with the goods mine. When sandalwood and thorns to ashes, both looked the same-but the quality of both are different. Unclean items are put into the water-rose will remain unclean because the properties are basically the original; but sacred objects being dropped into the ocean will lose its form of its own and will merge with the ocean with all its movement. With no separate stop he would get a beauty. He and no. How is this possible, the mind can not imagine. "Fatwa Nassir Uddin
Beloved of Tus, sea spiritual secrets it, said to one of his students, "shatters yourself in the fire of love to you to be as small as hair, then you will deserve to occupy your place among ringlet girlfriend. When you navigate to the Way of your eyes and if you look out, then contemplate and think, hair-by-hair.
He who turned the world to take the road that will get the death; he was getting death, will gain immortality. O my heart, if you have herubah completely, cross the bridge Sirat1 and flaming fire; because if the oil in the lamp was burning, he will be an old crow as black smoke, but when the oil was absorbed by the fire, he would not have his form rough again.
If you want to get to where the noble, first liberate yourself; then out of nothing like Buraq2 second. Wear khirka kenihilan and drink of the cup annihilation, then kebatlah interpretation chest belt and wear on your head-not brilliance circumstances. Put your feet in the stirrups ketakterikatan, and horse racing are useless to a place where there was nothing else. But if you are still living in lust let a little self-interest, then the seventh sea will be full of misery for you. "The story of the Butterfly
One night, swarms of butterflies gather, tortured desire was about to unite ourselves with candles. They said, "We had to send one of us who will bring information to us about the goal of love that we want to find it." So any one of them departs and arrives at a castle, and the castle that he saw the light of a candle. He went back, and in accordance with the understanding gained, he recounted what he had seen. But butterflies wise who chaired the meeting expressed the opinion that the messenger did not understand anything about candles. Then the other butterfly was going there anyway.

The wretch replied, "How can a dead man talking.? Let embarrassed, you do not become one with God. If you let serambut be separated from him, it is as if you are as far apart as one hundred of the world. "

Was once a king has a son who is so charming as Joseph, full of charm and beauty. Prince was loved everyone, and everyone who saw maulah feels happy to dust under his feet. When he walks at night, it is as if the sun had been rising over the desert. Daffodils black eyes, and if the eye could see, the world is lit by it. His grin spread sugar, and wherever he goes one thousand roses will bloom, do not wait for spring.
Then it is an ordinary dervish who captivated her heart on this young prince. Day and night he was sitting near the palace of the prince, do not eat not sleep. Should he be dead, if not occasionally can see at a glance the young prince when it appeared on the market. But how could a prince who was consoling a dervish as noble poor in such circumstances? But ordinary people, which is a shadow, part of a zarrah, wanted to hold the bright sun in the chest.
One day when the prince was being dijulang at the head of his servants, the dervish stood up and cried out, saying, "It's insane servant, a servant's heart very sad, slave impatient and could no longer suffer," and he pounded head to the ground in front of the prince. One of the palace guards want to kill the dervish order, and then to the king. "My lord," he said, "a lunatic who has fallen in love with the son of my lord."

The palace was immediately go running order of the king. People also put a rope noose around the neck of beggars was then dragged to the pole. Nobody knows what will happen and nobody defended the beggar. After vizier ordered take him to the bottom of the pole chaining the dervish screaming sad and he said, "For the love of God, give the servant moratorium, so that at least the servant may say a prayer at the bottom of the pole chaining." It was granted, and the dervish prostrate and prayed, "O Lord, because the king had ordered to kill innocent servant -hamba this- then karuniai slave, servant foolish, before I die, by the luck to see - let alone any -wajah once the young prince, so that the servant can give himself the servant of the victim. O, Lord, the King's servant, who listened to a thousand prayers, grant me this last request servant. "
Once the dervish was finished praying it was the desire arrow immediately reach the target. Wazir also know that hidden desire and take pity on him. He also went to the king and explain the actual happenings. Hearing that the king was pensive; then compassion even meet him, and he forgave dervishes, then said to the prince, "Go get the poor under the pole chaining. Berlakulah gentle to him, and ask him to drink together, because he had received his your poison. Take him to your garden and then bring him here. "
The young prince, Joseph second, immediately went -matahari that faced the fire was coming face to face with a zarrah. A sea of beautiful pearls that went looking for a drop of water. At-beat head for joy, tapakkan feet dancing and clapping tanganlah! But the dervish is in despair; tears make dust into mud, and the world becomes severe because of complaints. Even the prince himself could not resist tears, when dervish saw tears prince, he said, "O Prince, now hosts may take the life of a servant." And having said this, he breathed his last, dying. When he found out that he had become one with the beloved, then there is no longer desires of others who live on it.
O you, who exist and yet also something insignificant, with happiness mixed with kesengsaraanmu, if you have never experienced anxiety, how are you going to appreciate the serenity? You stretch out your hand to reach its flash but was blocked by the snow-swept. Try with bold, fuel-destroy the mind, and surrender to ignorance. If you want to use this alkimia4 science, ponder a little, and follow my example, leave yourself; of mind that wandered let you withdraw into your soul so that you can come to the spiritual destitution.

After listening to the birds Hudhud, their head was drooping, and sadness mencucuk-prick their hearts. Now they understand how difficult for a wisp of dust as they were to stretch that great arc. So great was their passion so many dead on the spot and then. But others, how miserable too, decided to take the long way. For years they wandered across the mountain for the sake of mountains and valleys for the sake of the valley, and most of their life flows past in that trip. But how can said that everything that has happened to them? Need to walk with them and know their difficulties, as well as follow-odyssey odyssey on the long road; then we can realize the suffering of the birds.
In the end, only a small number of large herd that it can get to the place indicated Hudhud noble. Of the thousands of birds that almost everything has disappeared. Many were lost at sea, the others perished at the peak of the high mountains, tortured thirst; another burned his wings, but their hearts are drying up due to solar fire; partially eaten by tigers and leopards, some are dead tired in deserts and forests in the wilderness, with dry lips and body heat: there are crazy and mutual berbunuhan as a grain of millet; some are because of the weak by the suffering and exhaustion, fell on the road and can not afford to proceed further; others, confused by anything they see, stop in that place, astonished; and many, who have departed because of curiosity or pleasure, died without getting an idea of what they look for in a trip that has started they took it.
Therefore, of all the thousands of birds, only thirty who can get to the travel destination. And they have any confusion anyway, tired, and sad, hairless and winged again. But now they're at the door Majesty, indescribable, and the nature of her incomprehensible - Being that transcends the mind and knowledge creation. Then there were flashes of lightning satisfaction, and one hundred world is on fire-destroyed in an instant. And they also saw thousands of sun, each one brighter than the other, thousands of moon and stars, all equally beautiful, and seeing all that, they were amazed and excited like a zarrah dust, and they cried, "O my lord more from solar brilliant! Which makes solar looks like a zarrah, how can we look at the face Baduka? Ah, why do we have to bear all the suffering in the street was so vain? After leaving everything and ourselves, we are now impossible to get what we have earned. Here does not matter whether we were there or not. "
Then the birds are worried that they resemble a rooster who the hell was drowning in despair. A long time passed. When, at a good time, suddenly the door opens, the head of the household out of the palace, a palace servant Majesty. He memeriksai birds and know that of the thousands that only thirty birds that stay.
He said, "Now, O birds, from where you came, and why you want to let? What are your names? O you who do not have anything, in which your home? You called what in the world? What might be done with a wisp of dust weak this kind of guys? "
"We have come," they said. "To acknowledge the Simurgh as our King. Because of our love and longing for it, we have lost the sense and peace of mind. In the past that was so long ago, when we set out on this journey, we were thousands, and now only thirty are up to this glorious palace. We may not believe that the King would memurkai us after we went through all that suffering. Ah, no! He would just look at us with a full view of mercy! "
Head of household palace replied, "O you who worry in the hearts and minds, whether you are there or not there is in the universe, the King always eternal. Thousands of the world being nothing more than an ant front gate. You're nothing but bring laments and wails. Then go back to your place of origin, o kepul lowly land! "
Hearing that, the birds were seizure-rigid with astonishment. However, when they regained consciousness, they said, "Will the great king was refused us so vile? And if so his attitude to us, is not it possible that he changed the attitude towards that deserves the glory? Remember Majnun said, 'If all the people living on this earth wants to sing praises to me, never will I accept them; I prefer to receive insults Laila. One only insults me more than a hundred praise came from another woman! '"
"Lightning glory will radiate itself," said the head of the palace household, "he will lift the mind of every soul. What is the use if a soul destroyed by a hundred grief? Is the point at this time is in the majesty or humiliation? "
The birds, which burned love it, saying, "How can a butterfly save themselves from the flames if he wants to become one with the flame? Sahabat we seek will satisfy us by allowing us to unite ourselves to him. If now we rejected, whether another of our power? We like the butterfly that wanted unity with the flame of a candle. Many have asked the butterfly in order not to sacrifice themselves so ridiculous and for the purpose of such a rare anyway, but the butterflies would like to thank them for their advice and tell them that because his heart had been handed over the flame was created forever , then nobody else should be questioned. "
After the test birds, then the head of the household of the palace was also opened the door, and when he reveals a hundred veils, one by one, then a new world beyond the veil was lifted. Now the light of all light emanates, and all the birds were sitting on Masnad, 1 seat Majesty and Supreme. They were given passage, and they were asked to read it, and after reading and meditating, they can understand their circumstances. When they are fully felt calm and in spite of all anything, they became aware that the Simurgh was there with them. Everything they have done previously erased. Nobleness sun shining down, and in the faces of their fellow contemplate each other, the thirty birds (si-murgh) from the outside world is staring at the Simurgh of the world. It is astonishing that they did not know whether they still keep them or whether they have become the Simurgh. Finally, in an atmosphere of meditation, they realized that they were the Simurgh and that the Simurgh thirty birds as well. When they looked at the Simurgh, they saw that indeed the Simurgh that there was, and when they direct view into themselves, they see that they own the Simurgh. And observe both simultaneously, namely themselves and him, they also realized that they and the Simurgh that form one and the same thing. Nothing anyone in the world ever heard of anything like that.
Then they sank into meditation, and a moment later, without using words, they beg on the Simurgh in order to reveal to them the secrets of the secret oneness and plurality of Being. The Simurgh, also without words, giving this answer, "Sun keluhuranku is a mirror. Who mirror there saw body and soul, look at all of it entirely. Because you have come as thirty birds, si-murgh, you will see thirty birds in the mirror. If forty or fifty coming, certainly will see some of that. Even though you now have changed completely, however you look at yourself as you state in advance.
Can the vision of an ant to Kartika faint star? And insects can lift the anvil? Have you ever seen an elephant annexed mosquitoes? Everything you already know, everything you have seen, all that you have said or you hear-all is not what it is anymore. When you cross the valleys of the spiritual road and when you perform the obligations of good, you do it all with my activities accompanying you; and you can see the valleys nature and kesempurnaanku. You are only thirty birds only, rightly amazed, impatient and wonder. But I'm more than thirty birds. I am the true nature of the Simurgh itself. Then shatters yourselves in me with a triumphant and happy, and in me you will find yourself. "
Soon after, the birds eventually negate themselves inside the Simurgh - shadows have vanished in the solar light, and it is.
Everything you've heard, you see or do you know, nor the beginning of what you need to know, and because of dilapidated housing in the world is not your place, then you should leave it. Look for that tree, and do not worry about whether branches present or absent.Immortality After the extinction
After one hundred thousand descendants passed, the birds mortal themselves fully surrender to extinction. Nothing anyone, young and old, can speak properly about death or immortality. As both of these things away from us, so also the granting of both could not be clear or definite. If the reader expects an explanation with proverbs about the immortality that followed after the extinction, it is necessary to write another book. As long as you are bound to judge actions of the world, you would not take that road, but when the world no longer bind you, you will be able to enter it as in a dream; but knowing the goal, you will see the benefits. A seed nurtured in between one hundred maintenance and love so that he can be intelligent beings and activism. He was trained and given the necessary knowledge. Then death came and erased everything, glory overthrown. Such a creature has become the dust of the road. Many times it has been destroyed; but in the meantime, he has been able to know a hundred secrets that had never previously realized, and in the end he gets immortality, and hath honor instead of disgrace. Do you know what you have? Go inside yourself and reflect on this. As long as you do not realize kenihilanmu, and as long as you do not leave the pride, vanity and cintadiri, you will not be able to reach the top of immortality. On the road that you were thrown into disrepute and raised in his honor.
And now the story was finished, nobody else should say.Footnote:

Attar
Faridu'd-Din Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, better known as Attar, the spreader fragrant. Although little is known with certainty about his life, but rather it can be said that he was born in 1120 AD near Nishapur in Persia Northwest (the birthplace of Omar Khayyam). Date death is not known with certainty, but it can be expected around the year 1230, and he lived up to the age of one hundred and ten years. Most of what is known about him are legendary, also death at the hands of a warrior Genghis Khan. Of note personal mementos scattered among his writings seems to be mentioned, that he spent thirteen years of his youth in Meshed. According Dawlatshah, one day Attar was sitting with a friend in front of her stall door, when a dervish came closer, stopped briefly, smell the fragrance, then took a deep breath and cried. Attar thought the dervish trying to going to raise their mercy, and sent dervishes go.
Dervish said, "Well, none of that prevents me leave your door and say goodbye to this world. What kupunyai just khirka that this shabby. But I was sad thinking, Attar. How could you ever think about death and leave all this worldly possessions? "Attar said that he hopes will end his life in poverty and satisfaction as a dervish. "We'll see," said the dervish, and soon after that he lay down and die.
This event raises profound impression on the heart Attar so he left the shop of his father, became a disciple of Sheikh Bukn-ud-din famous, and began to study the system of Sufi thought, in theory and practice. During the thirty-nine years he wandered into various countries, studying in the settlements sheikhs and gather the writings of the Sufi holy, all the legends and stories. Then he went back to Nishapur where he spent the rest of his life. It is said that he has a deeper understanding of the nature of mind Sufi compared to anyone in his time. He wrote about two hundred thousand poems and a lot of prose. He lived before the Jalal-uddin Rumi. Asked who is more intelligent of the two, a Sufi saying, "Rumi soared to the peak of perfection like an eagle in a blink of an eye; Attar reached the spot with creeping like ants. Rumi said, "Attar is the soul itself."
Garcin de Tassy said that in 1862 Nicholas Khanikoff find a tombstone outside Nishapur, which was founded between 1469 and 1506 (about two hundred and fifty years after the death of Attar). There engraved inscription in Persian. Translation vege above inscription into French can be translated as follows:
Eternal GodIn the name of AllahLoving the Forgiving
Here in the garden of Eden below, Attar spread fragrance in the souls of the simplest. This is the tomb of a noble so that dust that piqued his legs would constitute kollirium in the eyes of the sky; the tomb of a famous sheikh Farid Attar, the follow-up of the saints; The main tomb fragrance diffuser with perfume breath to the world of Kaf Kaf. In her stall, nests of the angels, the sky like a medicine bottle with scented fragrant citron. Nishapur earth until the Day of Judgment will be famous because of this famous people. There is a gold mine because he was born in Nishapur in Zarwand in Gurgan region. He lived in Nishapur for eighty two tabun, and thirty-two years of that time were spent in tranquility. In the already very advanced age he was chased by an army sword swallowing everything. Farid died at age Hulaku Khan, was killed as a martyr in the massive slaughter that occurs when it ... May God Most High mempersegar soul! Tingkatkanlah, o Rabbi, virtue.
The noble tomb is located here in the reign of the Shah Alam region, His Majesty Sultan Abu Igazi Hussein ...
Moreover, the inscription was expressed praise for the Sultan. Presumably there is no written record today about how, when, and where he died and was buried.NOTE ABOUT THE SUFI
The term Sufi is derived from the word suf, wool fleece -jubah the ascetic. Sufis follow the inner teachings of the Koran. Along with a system of thought based on instructions from their holy books, they have a practical method to enhance yourself, who taught orally. With exercises, taking a stand and dance, personnel beings who always terlucut of him, will be harnessed and directed to inner development and awareness-raising. The purpose and goal is the unity of the soul with God. There may be times when the introduction of this-when-when the conviction disclosure (revelation) and emotion-excited (ectasy) - "gifts," as commonly mentioned, but perfection, union with God, must be cultivated; there must be a continuous effort.
There is one God. Everything exists in Him, and He is in everything. Everything, that is visible and invisible, are emanations from Him. Religions, in fact, is not the foremost, though religions it can be useful to lead the people towards reality. Good and Bad, as we perceive it, does not exist actually, because everything is based on the realization of the One God; but in unison with it, there is a "real good" and "bad true". Human beings are not free in his actions; he did not have free will, although this can be done by trying to take the right path. He terbelok here and there because of a steering-influences from within and from outside itself -into the game every wind bertiap. Unity is achieved with two efforts in the form of sacrifice and liberation: the sacrifice of desires, vanity and delusion of our own on the one hand, and on the other hand liberation from earthly judge actions -from the love for power, fame, wealth and honor. But prayer and fasting also can be a major obstacle; we can become attached to anything. Sufi, however, should not leave his needs and did not withdraw from the world. He must be in the world but not tied to the world. Is a great mercy has what is necessary for the physical body. Sex by itself is not a matter of sin, as happens in the orthodox Christian religion, but rather a valuable property. The meaning and purpose of sex workers can understand. As shown Orage in his essay "On Love", "The sanctity of sensory perception (of yore) are taught from early childhood. In this way, erotisisma become an art in its highest form ever known to the world. There is still a faint echoes in literature Persian and Sufi literature today. "
Soul (in the sense of the highest part of the man who crave perfection) no earlier than the body and held in the body as in a cage. Human life is a journey undertaken progressively. And the Lord search facer is a traveler's journey, which should make efforts hard to overcome the weaknesses and mistakes and to gain knowledge and understanding of the right.
The followers sufisma say that sufisma always there with various names; and that the system and method, in the forms of different, known by the Egyptians, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Greek and early Christian -in fact, the major religions in the beginning. Sufisma in the West today.
Only help those who have reached a certain level of development can guide the traveler on the road. Provided he has the ability to obey the discipline and conduct of business, a day-or even just one hour, among people who are wise, will be more valuable than years of running incontinence and outward ceremonies in worship.
Among the rules for students in the presence of a teacher may be mentioned the following: "Pay attention and do not talk much. Do not answer questions that are not addressed to you; but if asked, answer immediately, and do not be shy to say, 'I do not know'. Do not argue for the sake of argument only. Do not boast before the older. Do not look for the most respectable place. Do not be too solemn. Adhere to the customs of everyday life, and adjust themselves to the desires of others during those desires are not opposed to the inner conviction. Do not make a habit of any kind, unless it is a religious obligation or useful for others, because it can be an idol. "
The Sufis say that almost every person is born with abilities that allow the development of the mind, but that his parents and the people around him to make him into a Jew, a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian, so he is full of prejudice and accept only what the parents others without considering their own experiences or thoughts, and this became the joker. When people are "faithful" people who have perfected the self dies, the spirit floated into the sky in accordance with the degree of perfection has been achieved. But, no matter how much "knowledge" of a person, if he did not consider himself, and admitted to himself that he really did not understand anything, then all that has been gained will be like "the wind at hand."Sufi poet - The Fragrant Spreader
Attar -meaning the spreader Wangi is great Sufi poet nickname Faridu'd-Din Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Ibrahim. He was born in Nishapur, Northwest Persia (the birthplace of Omar Khayyam) in 1120, and died in 1230 after reaching the age of 110 years. He died when the Mongols invaded the region.
During his life besides writing Deliberation Bird as the fruit of her hands most of the renowned, he also writes prose that is not less tenarnya: Reminiscences of the Sufi and the Book of Wisdom Bestari.
Deliberation Bird (1184-1187) written in the style of this allegorical poem, symbolizes the life and teachings of the Sufis.PREFACE
Attar, who in the original language called Mantiqu't-Thair and shaped the character of mystical religious poetry, apparently written in the second half of the twelfth century AD. Since that time, every lapse of some years published a new edition in the countries of the Middle East and the Near East.
Indonesian translation of the work was done on the text of the English translation of CS Nott, entitled The Conference of the Birds.
Nott original translation work was primarily for the benefit of itself and some of his companions; but because it is a translation of a translation of the most complete ever found in the English language for it, it seems to have attracted the wider public. Then diterbitkanlah The Conference of the Birds was for the first time in 1954 in London and then the book was reprinted several times.
In translation into English, make the most of Nott use Garcin de Tassy translations in French prose and done from the diperbandingkannya Persian text with text in Arabic, Hindu and Turkey (Paris, 1863). In addition, Nott also use the explanation of the source text in Persian through his friend, a Sufi, as well of the translations in English, which is still there. From the latter he used three translations, all of which has simple too. The first translation of Edward Fitzgerald, rhyming and somewhat sentimental; The second translation of Ghulam Muhammad Abid Saikh, too literally, in the form of a temple in 1170 in the original Masnavi 4674 (India, 1911); The third (and best of all it is) is the translation Masani, prose, although only about half of the original translated (Mangalore, India, 1924). These three pieces of translation are long out of print. Garcin de Tassy complete translation, and, as he says, "seharfiah can I try to be understood." Tassy also retain fragrance, spirit and teachings of Attar's poetry.
In the English translation of the Nott does not include the last half of the Hymn Prayer - in the Hindu text that part there, and in Turkey has simple text. About Akhirul Attar Kalam who ended it, Nott include only the first part, for the rest, because it consists of small stories (anecdotes), will be an anticlimax. In Hindu texts and Turkey Akhirul Kalam was omitted altogether, while in other manuscripts of different existence. Nott also exclude or just extract just a few little stories (anecdotes) in Attar, either because the small stories that seemed repetitive or because it means "dark". But everything associated with "trial" or "Deliberation" birds, as manifested in the original manuscript, presented in the Nott translation.
In the numbering of sections, Nott followed vege translation, which according to the original manuscripts.
Nott also put notes about Attar and Sufis. For this, among other sources, he uses source information from The Dictionary of Islam and Encyclopaedia of Islam.
Besides, he was also put gloss with a view to the reader, with the first reading the descriptions in the gloss, will be able to catch the symbols, metaphors, etc. contained in the works of Attar it more clearly.
Indonesian translation here fully follow the English translation Nott. Only gloss was not granted as part of its own, but is given here and there as a footnote, den it was only taken which would need to be explained to readers Indonesia.
Meanwhile, in studying Attar (translation Nott), Indonesian translator many find parts that can be searched reference in the Koran. And to find the references in the Koran, the parts that originally dark for him, can be enlightened. Such things, the Indonesian translation, as well as the footnotes appended. In searching for references in the Koran Indonesian translator uses The Meaning of the Glorious Koran of Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall, in addition to the Holy Quran from Maulawi Sher Ali.
Thus footnotes, as well gloss in translation Nott, how likely is intended to brighten the dark parts in Attar's.
