“Rama Nama should come from the heart. In that event, Rama Nama could become an effective remedy against all ailments. A man who believes in Rama Nama would not make a fetish of the body but would regard it as a means of serving God. And for making it into a fit instrument for that purpose, Rama Nama is the sovereign means. To install Rama Nama in the heart requires infinite patience. It might even take ages. But the effort is worthwhile. Rama Nama cannot come from the heart unless one has cultivated the virtues of truth, honesty and purity within and without.”

“Ramadan is not fasting. Ramadan is an Islamic feast where one stuffs oneself twice a day with food, and in between lets ones intestines dry out. To describe that process as 'fasting' seems rather ubiquitous to me. The amount of food transported into the body is probably exactly the same, but because of the dehydration the food is processed less effectively. As customs go, most customs are typically silly and Ramadan is no exception. I can accept such silliness when people keep it to themselves, but unfortunately one sees such a sharp rise in 'policing' others that even non Muslims are now experiencing violence because they are eating at daytime in the Ramadan period.”
“Ramadan is resurrection of a promise divine,
Festival of one people is festival of humankind.
Ramadan is the end of all feelings unkind,
Ramadan is a human being a human's lifeline.”

“Ramadan makes you closer to God.”
“Ramadan Sonnet
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim doesn't mean,
God is merciful only to the muslim.
The spirit of godliness that we hold within,
is meant to light up the world as our kin.
Fasting and feasting all turn mere futile choir,
If, for whatever reason, life is distant from life.
Celebration of Ramadan is celebration of rahmat*,
Ramadan without *compassion is Ramadan without life.
Ramadan is not a muslim festival,
Ramadan is a human festival.
Ramadan is a reminder to rekindle our light,
Ramadan is the end of all feelings uncharitable.
None of us will have faith till we wish for
our neighbor as we wish for ourselves (Hadith 13).
The reward for goodness is goodness itself (Q55:60).”

“Ramadan Sonnet
Le jeûne et les festins deviennent
un chœur futile si la vie
est éloignée de la vie.
La célébration du Ramadan est
la célébration du rahmat*,
le Ramadan sans la *compassion
est le Ramadan sans vie.
Le Ramadan n'est pas une fête
musulmane, c'est une fête humaine.
Le Ramadan est un rappel
pour raviver notre lumière,
Le Ramadan met fin à tous
les sentiments peu charitables.
Le plus grand iftar est
de rompre le jeûne de l’apathie,
avec la fête de l’affection.
Pour celui qui vit avec bonté,
chaque jour est le Ramadan.”

“Ramadan was one of more than a million refugees and migrants who took boats and flimsy dinghies to European shores in 2015. Along with forty-seven others, most of whom were Syrian, he crossed the Aegean in an inflatable raft that he estimates was made for a maximum load of twenty-five people. ‘There were so many children on it. We went out in the night. The kids were crying. We kept telling them, ‘See the light there in the distance? That’s where we are going.’” Four hours later, they landed, the boat already halfway full of water and on the brink of sinking. They emerged onto the rock shores and made their way back to solid land after, as Ramadan put it, seeing death yet again.”

“Ramai pengkritik sastera sekarang atau pengkritik moden pada masa lebih kurang lima puluh tahun yang lampau dilatih di dalam institusi pengajian (atau universiti moden di dalam bidang sastera dan sejarah sastera malah bidang kemanusiaan seluruhnya) dan mereka yang mendapatkan pembelajaran sekular serta mereka yang tidak pernah didedah kepada kepentingan dan keutamaan Rasul Islam di dalam tradisi sastera Islam, akan mendapati bahawa panggilan kepada 'seruan suci' ke atas Rasulullah sepertimana yang terkandung di dalam penulisan dan penerbitan sastera agak ganjil dan tidak realistik atau tidak lebih daripada cuma klise masa lampau melaung-laung kerana kehampaan.
Walhal sebelum zaman moden, setiap penyair atau pemikir Sufi, di dalam perbincangan-perbincangan mereka di dalam perkara apa saja pun, atau yang berkenaan dengan Islam, tidak akan meninggalkan atau menidakkan kepentingan mendekatkan diri dengan hakikat asal usul kejadian iaitu manusia utama yang digelar al-insan al-kamil (manusia sempurna walaupun makhluk). Bagi orang Islam, Rasul Islam adalah segalanya yang bermakna di dalam penciptaan. Tidak ada apa pun di dlam penciptaan yang tidak dikaitkan dengan Baginda dek kerana Baginda terlebih dahulu dikenali di dalam tradisi Sufi sebagai sumber segala jenis dan bentuk penciptaan; deminya yang dicipta awal itu telah diciptakan pula semua yang lain dan dia yang mulia itu adalah guru pada semua rasul dan nabi yang diutuskan Tuhan sebelum darinya; dia ciptaan yang awal dan terakhir sampai di dalam bentuk kejadian.”

“Ramakrishna didn't suddenly become enlightened. We had years of him meditating, seeking, crying to Mother Kali, going in and out of samadhi; but after many years of this process, he was enlightened. He was no longer a finite individual.”

“Ramanujan had lost all his scholarships. He had failed in school. Even as a tutor of the subject he loved most, he'd been found wanting.
He had nothing.
And yet, viewed a little differently, he had everything. For now there was nothing to distract him from his notebooks- notebooks, crammed with theorems, that each day, each week, bulged wider.”

“Ramazan Söz (Şiir)
Ramazan yani sabır,
Ramazan yani sevmek.

Ramazan yapar cesur.

Affedelim her geçmiş kusur.
Ramazan yani bir ilahi söz,
Rahmetten vazgeçmem, söz verdim.
Bu ramazan ve her ramazan,
İnsanın evine insana hoş geldin.”

“Rambling by Afaa Michael Weaver
In general population, census
is consensus—ain't nowhere to run
to in these walls, walls like a mind—
We visitors stand in a yellow circle
so the tower can frisk us with light,
finger the barrels on thirsty rifles.
I got rambling, rambling on my mind
In general population, madness runs
swift through the river changing, changing
in hearts, men tacked in their chairs,
resigned to hope we weave into air,
talking this and talking that and one brutha
asks Tell us how to get these things
They got, these houses, these cars.
We want the real revolution. Things...
I got rambling, got rambling on my mind
In the yellow circle the night stops
like a boy shot running from a Ruger 9mm
carrying .44 magnum shells, a sista
crying in the glass booth to love's law,
to violence of backs bent over to the raw
libido of men, cracking, cracking, crack...
I got rambling, rambling on my mind”

“Rami - "What do you mean by the phrase Diamond Consciousness?"
Dayah- "Diamond Consciousness is Divine Consciousness awakened within all of the centers of your Being. It is Oneness with the All, Timeless and Changeless. Diamond Consciousness cannot be effected by any outer influence other than the pure white light of Infinite Source, and when this light enters, it is refracted across the entire rainbow of human potential. Thus one awakened in Diamond Consciousness if Free from any effect of the realm material and instead is at cause."
Rami - "What do you mean when you say awakened?"
Dayah - "Awakened Consciousness is Divine Consciousness recognizing and experiencing itself as the actual expression of who you are as a Being prior to and beyond any planetary identity. It is the realization of you Universal Infinite Origin and Destiny. It is the EXPERIENTIAL KNOWING of who you actually are."
Rami - "Then what is the difference between Awakened Consciousness and Diamond Consciousness."
Dayah "With Awakened Consciousness you can go there as a visitor. You can find the pathway there, It can become increasingly familiar. But yet you do not stay, you return to your planetary viewpoint of sentient and temporal existence. Within the state of Diamond Consciousness it becomes where you reside prior to and beyond time or space it is your Holy Origin and Divine Destiny. Diamond Consciousness is changeless prior to and beyond effect. It is Causal. It is the realm of the true Spiritual Master.”
