nggak banyak

sedikit kok cuma sedikit....
selamat datang...
masuklah kedalam...
ada padang luas membentang...
sebatang duri...
lebih berharga dari 1000 butir kurma

Revelation

From Mawlana Jalal-Ad Din Rumi.....

"It is said that after Muhammad and the prophets revelation does not descend upon anyone else.
Why not?
In fact it does, but then it is not called 'revelation.' It is what the Prophet referred to when he said, 'The believer sees with the Light of God.'
When the believer looks with 'The believer sees with the Light of God.'
When the believer looks with God's Light, he sees all things: the first and the last, the present and the absent.
For how can anything be hidden from God's Light? And if something is hidden, then it is not the Light of God.
Therefore the meaning of revelation exists, even if it is not called revelation."

Fihi Ma Fihi
quoted from William C. Chittick, The Sufi Path of Love: The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi
