The Witness Within
Musa Muhaiyaddeen
Sufism is one of the paths that explains and guides us towards our inner spiritual being, to that part of us that is beyond the senses. It brings us to a place where there is the possibility of experiencing an entirely different way of existence. This is an inner journey that opens our hearts to the treasures found within the qualities of God. Sufism explains that to do this we need to change our focus from an elemental existence to a spiritual existence.The Sufi path teaches us that there is a place that is not part of the elemental nature we are born with, there is another place that comes from the Eternal where the qualities that exist there are kindness, love, mercy, compassion, truthfulness, and justice. Sufism is a path of love.May it come to pass that these words resonate to break the shell of illusion that covers our hearts. May these words help take us to the Eternal where truth exists, and where love and kindness exist as reality. May our path towards God be straight, and true, and easy.Musa Muhaiyaddeen
