Jan: The first book I met after my spontaneous sadhana was Purohit
Swami's
translation of the Patanjali sutras. I recognized the traveled road and the
part that (eventually) was laying ahead. Then, I read about the
mystical
union from the perspective of Rosicrucians and this was clear too. After
that, I met a small group of Sufis (disciples of Hazrat Inayat Khan)
and
they radiated Love. With one of them I could discuss the issues that arise
on the path; she asked, considering my age, if I had given enough
attention
to the fact that God is very alone...
Many of the Sufi stories are about love. Often, they start as seemingly
common love stories. However, destiny usually prevents the lover to
unite
with the beloved and the separation causes sorrow, longing, despondency
beyond compare, while love is increasing. Gradually (sometimes suddenly),
the lover realizes that love doesn't have as its subject a beloved one
in
the flesh, but that the Beloved can only be God. So there are stories about
Sufi masters, falling in love with a beautiful woman, only to realize
that
all beauty and love are but aspects of the Beloved One. For the Sufi, union
with the Beloved is the extinction of the identity of the lover
(annihilation of self).
