Self Negation Quotes

“I want to be a cleaner,
A person cleaner of his own heart,
I want to be a bodyguard,
A person guarding his own heart,
I want to be a farmer,
A farmer farming his own heart,
I want to be a carpenter,
A person crafting his own heart,
I want to be a doctor,
A person treating his own heart,
I want to be a seeker,
A person seeking his own heart,
I want to be a perfect human,
A person perfecting his own heart.”

“I have sacrificed my head in his holy court, who had taken me out of ignorance and darkness. From the one who was lost to the light and enlightenment, with his one sight of love I had cut off the head of my ego in total submission.”

“My Feather Weight Heart!

It wasn’t this way clean and lightweight before,
It all started when I met the spiritual surgeon after,
It was filled with jealousy, greed, lust, stinginess and envy before,
It got cleaned when I started to meditate on the name of beloved after,
It was all dark filled with all black spots before,
It got lighter when the name of God entered after,
It was filled with hate towards oneself and others before,
It’s now filled with love towards oneself and others after,
It was disconnected from the truth of reality,
It’s now connected with reality of truth after,
It was once ignorant and arrogant before,
It is now awakened and mindful after,
It was out of the side of the truth of oneself before,
It is now in truth with insights of oneself after,
It was oppressive, aggressive, and transgressive before,
It is now submissive, merciful and compassionate after,
It was racist, filled with malice and hateful before,
It is now united, filled with love and acceptance after,
It was searching for the truth outside in the mosque, church, synagogues and temples before,
It is now in awareness of the temple inside me after,
It was not aware of God, temple of God (heart) and the soul before,
It is now when I met beloved reviving my dead heart after!”

“I was fighting the wrong battle,
I was ignorant of the enemy within,
I was my own hidden enemy,
I was my own misery and suffering,
I was fierce in pointing out the darkness outside,
I was unaware of the inward darkness,
I was searching for my truth elsewhere,
I was just looking at reality in the wrong way,
I was lost because I was looking somewhere,
I was found because I looked at I,
I was attached to the world,
So I couldn’t see the I,
I was detached from my reality,
I was enveloped in the body,
I would not have found I,
If I wouldn’t have got beloved’s grace upon I!”
