Complete Submission in love

Hama aahuwaan-e sehra sar-e khud nihada bar kaf;
Ba-umeed aankay rozay bashikaar khuahi aamad. (Khusrou)

All the gazelles of the desert putting their heads on their palms

Which way goes to God

Which way goes to God? It must be through the heart ! 


We always keep running throughout our lives after the idea of finding God. Despite being seriously occupied with the material activities of everyday life,  we somehow succeed in maintaining brief stretches of our concentration over this idea,  which is perhaps too much brief to help us actually succeed in finding the God, but still goes giving the address of God. The feeling of peace,  which is psychologically a token of confidence for the naive heart , and which rises from the deep within heart,  leaves a message hinting that the way going to God must be through some passage lying somewhere within the heart! 

Ali said,  he found God within the broken hearts. 

The poetry of Bulleh Shah sings too about this hint as,  "Don't hurt one's heart,  as God lives within hearts!"

Which way goes to God?

It must be through the Heart!
