[psikologi_transformatif] The Sufi's Teaching

The Sufi's Teaching
 
It is said that in the pre-dawn hours, just before the first thread of light, there is a gentle breeze that encircles the earth.  Always traveling just ahead of the light, it is the harbinger of dawn. This is the world that sufism opens up.  The world of things so 'latif', so subtle that one has to become very still and quiet to catch them.  Getting that still is the meaning of Surrender. Getting that still is the meaning of Peace.
The Sufis teach the way to achieve inner peace, the basic principle of which is the purification of the Self.  Without the inner spiritual work, religious laws become a haven for those who seek security in dogma and living life in black and white. Sufism opens the world of depth and color and richness that only our souls can experience. Islam, without the spiritual wisdom conveyed by masters throughout the ages, is like a body without a soul.....an empty box.
 
Spirituality spills outside of the box.   It gets into everything.. .all the nooks and crannies of our lives, minds and souls.  Sufism teaches you to see the Divine in everything, everywhere, ...without ceasing. For the sufi, there's no escaping God.

The practices of Islamic law, shariah, bring necessary order and discipline to our physical existence. The spiritual practices of sufism, tassawwuf, nurture our soul. Both are necessary for a balanced life. Sufism teaches the importance of balance. The whirling dervishes manifest this most eloquently in their dance.
 
This spiritual richness of sufism is the aspect that the fundamentalists and extremists carefully and systematically extract from their teachings. When this occurs, Islamic learning becomes dangerously unbalanced. Without the wisdom of its saints and teachers, religion becomes a political hammer wielded by those interested in worldly power.  It then no longer resembles the Divine inspiration it was once meant to represent.

[psikologi_transformatif] What is Sufism ?

What is Sufism ?
 
Sufism, which is sometimes known as the Way of the Heart, is the spiritual path that exists in Islam. Sufism teaches humankind how to rise above our lower selves, by purifying our hearts from bad manners and characteristics.
 
Sufism recognizes and nurtures
the spiritual nature of human beings. 
 
Sufism as a path is an art, a science, a practice.
It's mystical and practical.
It's the path to knowing God by knowing ourselves.
 
Sufism is the path ot seeking the pleasure of God,
learning to love and be at peace with one's self,
to be in harmony with all Allah's creations and to be dressed with the beautiful attributes of Prophets and Saints

[psikologi_transformatif] Knowledge of The Heart ( Sufism Knowledge )

Knowledge of The Heart ( Sufism Knowledge )
 
"There are two kinds of intelligence:

One acquired, as a child in school memorizes facts and concepts from books and from what the teacher says, collecting information from the traditional sciences as well as from the new sciences.
With such intelligence you rise in the world. You get ranked ahead or behind others in regard to your competence in retaining information. You stroll with this intelligence
in and out of fields of knowledge, getting always more marks on your preserving tablets.
There is another kind of tablet, one already completed and preserved inside you. A spring overflowing its springbox. A freshness in the center of the chest. This other intelligence does not turn yellow or stagnate. It's fluid, and it doesn't move from outside to inside through the conduits of plumbing-learning. This second knowing is a fountainhead from within you, moving out.
 
( Mawlana Jalaludin Rumi )

The Prophet of Islam Muhammad Salallahu alayhi wasalam said:
"Knowledge is of two kinds: T
here is knowledge of the heart.  That is the knowledge that is of benefit. Then knowledge of the tongue. The latter is Allah's proof for the child of Adam."

Heart knowledge (ilmu 'l-qalb) has nothing to do with what heart means in today's language. 
Heart knowledge is above the senses. Indeed it is beyond the intellect. It represents the core or the lubb of human reality.

Of it the Prophet (pbuh) said:
"The hearts of the children of Adam are like a single heart between two of the fingers of the All Merciful.  He turns it wherever He desires.  O Allah, Turner-of-Hearts, turn our hearts toward obeying Thee."
