How is it possible to realize Perfection?
"Man is dominated by his self's desires and fears. Those who are ensnared in these habitual impulses are out of harmony with the Divine Nature, and thus ill.
As a result of this illness, feelings become disturbed and accordingly, thoughts and perceptions become unsound. Thus, one's faith as well as one's knowledge of the Truth strays from what is real.
"In order to follow the way to Perfection, one must first rectify these incorrect thought processes and transmute one's desires and fears. This is accomplished by coming into harmony with the Divine Nature. This way of harmony (the Spiritual Path) consists of spiritual poverty, devotion, and the continuous, selfless remembrance of God. In this way, one comes to perceive the Truth as it really is."
Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh
حتی اگر نباشی ...
می خواهمت چنانکه شب خسته خواب را می جویمت چنانکه لب تشنه آب را محو توام چنانکه ستاره به چشم صبح یا شبنم سپیده دمان آفتاب را بی تابم آنچنانکه درختان برای باد یا کودکان خفته به گهواره تاب را بایسته ای چنانکه تپیدن برای دل یا آنچنانکه بال ِ پریدن عقاب را حتی اگر نباشی ، می آفرینمت چونانکه التهاب بیابان سراب را ای خواهشی که خواستنی تر ز پاسخی با چون تو پرسشی چه نیازی جواب را Poem by Mr. Qeysar Aminpour
Take one step beyond yourself, The whole path lasts no longer than one step. Beg alms from yourself - don't go wandering Outside yourself; the Way cannot be found. If it is love you're after, negate your self; Only the lover without self knows love.

“From everything we were or were not, we are free, with Love The heart remained tied to your passion, with Love Love alone, was the goal of our journey Free from all other we rested, with Love.” -- Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh
