Ashraf:<\/strong><\/span>
My master\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n


We live in an age of speed,<\/span>
we memorize much,<\/span>
and understand little.<\/span>
What do you advise?<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibrahim Hakki:<\/strong><\/span>
Do not carry too much,<\/span>
lighten the heart.<\/span>
Understanding grows heavy<\/span>
only when it is crowded.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashraf:<\/strong><\/span>
The world roars with knowledge,<\/span>
yet tranquility is rare.<\/span>
Where is the flaw?<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibrahim Hakki:<\/strong><\/span>
Knowledge without ethics<\/span>
is a sound without meaning.<\/span>
Correct the intention,<\/span>
and the balance will stand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashraf:<\/strong><\/span>
We search for God<\/span>
in sermons and books,<\/span>
yet we do not find Him\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibrahim Hakki:<\/strong><\/span>
Because you search with your eyes,<\/span>
not with your conduct.<\/span>
Had He seen you sincere,<\/span>
He would have reached you first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashraf:<\/strong><\/span>
And the human being?<\/span>
Lost, exhausted,<\/span>
angry at everything\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibrahim Hakki:<\/strong><\/span>
Because he forgot his measure.<\/span>
Who knows his place<\/span>
finds rest,<\/span>
and who compares himself to others<\/span>
never finds peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashraf:<\/strong><\/span>
Guide us to the path<\/span>
with one final word\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibrahim Hakki:<\/strong><\/span>
Purify your heart,<\/span>
discipline your mind,<\/span>
and do not quarrel with destiny.<\/span>
Then<\/span>
everything will become clear\u2026<\/span>
even silence.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
