❤️FOURTY RULES OF LOVE QUOTES ❤️

 Rule No : 1

“How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves; we don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. If God brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame welled inside us. If we see God as full of Love and Compassion, so are we.”

Rule No. 2

“In this World, it’s not similarities or regularities that take us a step forward, but blunt opposites. And all the opposites in the universe are present within each and every one of us. Therefore the believer needs to meet the unbeliever residing within. And the nonbeliever should get to know the silent faithful in him. Until the day one reaches the stage of Insan-iKamil, the perfect human being, faith is a gradual process and one that necessitates it’s seeming opposite:disbelief.”

Rule No. 3

“Most of the problems of the world stem from linguistic mistakes and simple misunderstandings. Don’t ever take words at face value. When you step into the zone of love, language as we know it becomes obsolete. That which cannot be put into words can only be grasped through silence.”

Rule No. 4

“Intellect and love are made of two different materials. Intellect ties people in knots and risks nothing, but love dissolves all tangles and risks everything. Intellect is always cautious and advises, “Beware too much ecstasy,” whereas Love says, “Oh never mind. Take the plunge!” Intellect does not easily break down, whereas love can effortlessly reduce itself to rubble. But treasures are hidden amongst ruins. A broken heart hides treasure.”

Rule No. 5

“ The Path to the Truth is a labour of the heart, not of the head. Make your heart your primary guide. Not your mind. Meet, challenge, and ultimately prevail over your nafs (false ego) with your heart. Knowing your ego (higher self/soul) will lead you to the knowledge of God.”

❤️ The Fourty Rules of Love ❤️ (Book review)

 The Forty Rules of Love is a novel written by Turkish author Elif Shafak, The book was published in March 2009. It is about Maulana Jalal-Ud-Din, known as Rumi and his companion Shams Tabrizi. This book explains how Shams transformed a scholar into a Sufi (mystic) through love.

ഒരു പാട്‌ പേർ ഈ പുസ്തകത്തെക്കുറിച്ച്‌ പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്‌. വായിക്കണമെന്നുളള ആഗ്രഹം ആ പുസ്തകത്തിന്റെ ആത്മാവിലേക്ക്‌ ഇറങ്ങിച്ചെല്ലുവാൻ എന്നെ സഹായിച്ചു. വായന തുടങ്ങിയപ്പോൾ മുൻപോട്ട്‌ പോകുവാൻ കുറച്ചു ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടി, പിന്നീട് ‌റൂമിയും, ഷാംസ്‌ തബ്രീസിയുകൂടി ഏതൊക്കെ ലോകത്തേക്ക്‌ എന്നെ കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ട്‌ പോയി എന്ന് ചോദിച്ചാൽ... എനിക്ക്‌ വാക്കുകളില്ലാ അതെഴുതുവാൻ... 

അത്രക്ക്‌ മനോഹരമായ, മാനുഷിക മൂല്യങ്ങൾക്ക് ‌പ്രാധാന്യം നൽകുന്ന, സ്നേഹം എന്ന ലോകാത്ഭുതത്തിന്റെ അന്തസത്തയിലേക്ക്‌ നമ്മെകൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ട്‌ പോകുന്ന ഒരു വായനാനുഭവം... 

It just took me out of my box where I was unsecured by lots of agony, rejections, traumatizing experiences, pride, jealousy etc. 

I found Love is unconditional through this book… 

I found how can I radiate Love without expecting anything from this world through this book….

I found how can I treat people who’s unsure about my existence and my personality through this book….

After all, how can I connect to God through the purest existence of Myself….

Thought of sharing Fourty Rules of Love in my Blog page….

എനിക്കൊന്നുറങ്ങണം ആ മടിയിൽ തല ചായ്ച്ച്‌..

ഞാനുറങ്ങുമ്പോൾ നീ എന്നെ അങ്ങനെ-

നോക്കിയിരിക്കും...
എന്റെ മുടിയിഴകളെ നിന്റെ നനുത്ത കൈവിരലുകളാൽ തലോടും... 
നിദ്രയുടെ ആഴങ്ങളിൽ ഞാനറിയാതെ നീയെന്റെ - കാൽപാദങ്ങളിൽ ചുംബിക്കും...
ആ ചുംബനത്തിന്റെ ചൂട്‌ ...
എന്റെ ആത്മാവിലേക്ക്‌ അലിഞ്ഞു ചേരുന്നത്‌‌ ഒരു പക്ഷേ-

നീ അറിഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ടാവില്ലാ...
ഉണർന്നിരിക്കുമ്പോഴും, ഉറങ്ങുമ്പോഴും നിന്നെ -

ഞാൻ അറിഞ്ഞിരുന്നു...
നീ പോലുമറിയാതെ...

Book Review

 

“Finding Myself”...

Where I never thought I would find Me…

A Debute anthology of poems by Sumi Anirudhan...

ഈ പുസ്തകം ഒരു സ്ത്രീയുടെ ജൈത്ര യാത്രയാണു.... ആ യാത്രയിൽ അവളുടെവൈകാരിക നിമിഷങ്ങളായ പ്രണയത്തേയും, വിരഹത്തേയും, വേദനയേയും, അവളുടെസ്വപ്നങ്ങളേയും, പ്രതീക്ഷകളേയുമെല്ലാം കോർത്തിണക്കി എഴുതപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നകവിതകളാണു സുമി വായനക്കാർക്കായി കാഴ്ചവെക്കുന്നത്‌ ....

ഒരു പക്ഷേ വായനക്കാരുടെ ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ ഏതെങ്കിലും ഏടുകളിൽ സുമിയുടെഅനുഭവങ്ങൾ നിങ്ങളുടേയും അനുഭവങ്ങളായിരിക്കാം .... ആ കണ്ടെത്തുലുകൾതന്നെയാണു "Finding Myself “ എന്ന പുസ്തകത്തിന്റെ ഇതിവൃത്തം.

Sumi has attempted to portray the emotional journey of a woman  through her poems. Poet narrates that all these transformations molded her own existence to find her true self. 

As Sumi wrote,

“The Gray in my hair doesn’t stop me from dreaming...”

Let each and every being find themselves; age should never stop one from dreaming and achieving it. 

I can assure you that this book is going to inspire lots of people who buried their dreams for the sake of their own excuses. If you have the courage and passion to achieve your dreams, everything will fall in place. Please mind that the path to it isn’t easy. It needs lots of hard work and dedication. I know Sumi had such a tough time through out her journey to accomplish her dream. Support of her family, friends and her mentor Nan Witicomb back boned her to attach a golden feather to her crown of achievements.

I can’t sign off my write up without appreciating Anish Nair’s amazing book cover design. His photography gave the life to the book “Finding Myself “. Congrats Anish Nair and Sai Saraswathi, the Girl behind the scenes.

Hereby penning my favorite poem from Sum’s collection;

Never kiss 

lips which are asleep,

watch them in silence....

When they are about to tell you 

they love you,

seal them gently...

greatest understanding of Love 

often happens in silence...

“YES!!!…. Greatest understanding of LOVE happens in SILENCE…”
