New Heartworks - Sufi Garden of Wisdom, Merion Station, PA (2026)

My love you, jeweled lights of my eyes,
my children and grandchildren. Try to see Him. Try to know the bliss. Try to attain that peace and live in His garden. With the wisdom that I have,
I cannot begin to fully describe its splendor
to you. No one can describe it. You have to see it for yourself. You have to see His palace, His kingdom,
His gardens and all the paths of His justice. There is n

o comparison,
no equal to that anywhere. You can know it only if you go there...
Then one day, when you go there,
perhaps I will be there too
and we will meet again. May Allah help us.

THE PRIMAL PEARL OF WISDOM

Your benefits will multiply according to your recitals.
Sing with a heart that is deep and melting,
The Primal One will rush to meet you.

The Only One with a million names
Allah expects no reward from you.
He will seek you and gladly usher you ashore.

If your intention is praise-worthy
He will provide a remedy
To give you clarity in this world.
If your mind has achieved clarity
He will give you the glorious cure.
The Primal One will surely reach you!

What can one say about the Primal One's words of grace?
O my mind, have you courage to speak precisely of Allah?
O my mind, can you fathom the ebb-less ocean?
Can you measure it with your feet?
O my mind can you determine its capacity,
The way you measure the boundless sea,
Not knowing its depth or length?

Is this how you determine the Lone One’s glory
Through this body that is full of pretence?
Those with determination and clarity of mind
Learn continuously within the lustrous pearl of wisdom,
Each one clarifying wisdom within wisdom
As befits each one’s clarity, O my mind!

See, there is room for as many minds as you look.
Those with deep clarity have good conduct.
See the blossoming flower over there,
It contains a sweet fragrance!

We shall achieve clarity, those born with me and I,
Acquiring good conduct, seeking Allah’s grace
We shall see the Primal One and witness the union
Within the deepest recesses of the heart.

There is a cure for escape from the world
There is a cure to purify your conduct.
There is grace of the Sustainers of the two worlds.
There is a cure for dispelling darkness
There is graceful advice of Season’s Master Guru
Know this O my mind!

The Primordial One cleanses my character
O my mind, what can I say is its meaning?
By what name shall I call it?
Those who know it, will know!
The Primal One will clarify the pure.
Those who submit to Guru, will submit.

Is this not the secret of Allah?
If each mind is clear and pure
Words of wisdom will spring forth,
Will these not be pearls of wisdom?

It is the primal pearl of wisdom
That is spoken of as the glorious word
Uttered by Master Muhammad Rasool (Sal).
The pearl of wisdom that purifies the heart
As quoted by humble “Miskin Bawa”!

It is Master Guru’s wondrous pearl
For those with pure bodies
It is the Primal Pearl of Wisdom.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

What does surrender mean?
Does it mean going away somewhere to die?

No, it is the state in which our qalb, our innermost heart, joins with God's in perfect faith, saying, "0 my God, none of these actions are mine, everything I do belongs to You. There is no place where You are not.

All my suffering begins with not seeing You. All my suffering begins with holding on to things inside myself that You do not keep inside You. 0 God, take everything away from me that You have removed from Yourself. I need nothing other than your path.

Everything I have which You do not causes me such sorrow, suffering, pain, woe, and misery. It is hell. 0 God, please remove from me those things that are not in You, whatever they may be. 0 my Father, please accept me, and let everything inside me fall away." That is surrender.

It is our duty to surrender all responsibility to God. Nothing else will do us any good.
When will you begin to acquire wisdom?
When will you see God?
When will you merge with your Father?

You will never return to Him through literature, languages, or other such things. You will never find God with the things you keep inside. Discard everything which is not within our Father, and try to bring Him only those things He has in Himself.

All the languages you studied, whatever language you pray in, all this is like the salt water of the ocean which can never quench your thirst. You perceive it as water, yet you cannot even bathe in it. The only thing it is good for is to relieve the itching of your body. Salt water is very useful for those who have itching bodies. It is good for the itch of your mind. It is good for illusion or maya which keeps itching to go to the seashore, but it cannot help us come to our Father.

To do that we must acquire His qualities and wisdom. Anything else is like the ocean water which will never quench our thirst. All the religions, racial, doctrinal, and linguistic wars, all the fighting because of our birth or our death will never be of any use to us in a million years, because none of these things are found with our Father.

We must analyze ourselves and find God within us. We must have His wisdom. Just as we extract electricity from water, we must take the light from that light of God, take the grace from His grace, extract our Father from our Father. This is what we have to take from Him.

This is the most important thing we have to do.

That point must merge with that point.
Everything else can be discarded.
We must think about this.
