Jestli to dělá monstrum ze mě… To nějak přežiju.

Forever.

Choćby otaczał nas ocean zła, będą z niego wystawać zielone i żyzne wysepki. Widać je, są na horyzoncie.

Ta szczelina, ta wyspa, ta gałąź utrzymują nas na powierzchni istnienia.

Woman is a beam of the divine Light. She is not the being whom sensual desires takes as its object. She is Creator, it should be said. She is not a creature. Great Fatima-ul- Zehra ( Means of Fatima the Radiant, Brightest Star, Star of Venus, The Evening Star), the daughter of the Prophet, is the secret in Sufism. She is the Hujjat of Ali (JJ).

Viața, în perenitatea ei, o piesă într-un singur act în care personajul principal este timpul cu toată înrâuirea lui de întâmplări, o joacă frivolă într-un spațiu individual limitat, pierdută ca u grăunte rostogolit în nemărginirea cosmică. Un carnaval în care oamenii poartă diverse costumații, se ascund în spatele măștilor. Contraste dramatice dintre lumini și umbre..Măștile vesele și triste se succed pe chipurile lor până la final, când cade cortina. Corpurile rămân goale, se alungesc descarnate, fețele se descompun, oasele putrezesc. Sufletul este singurul ce nu poartă mască, suportă toate vicisitudinile sau bucuriile, nu intră în putrefacție, trece în Partenonul ce domină prin cenușa veacurilor sau în abis.

Svetu hrozia tri pliagy, tri morové rany. Prvá pliaga - nacionalizmus. Druhý - rasizmus. Tretia - náboženský fundamentalizmus. Tieto tri pliagy majú rovnakú črtu, spoločného menovateľa - je to agresívna, všemocná, totálna iracionalita. Nie je možné preniknúť do vedomia zasiahnutého niektorou touto pliagou. V takejto hlave horí svätá hranica, ktorá iba čaká obete. Každý pokus o pokojný rozhovor sa skončí neúspechom. Takémuto človeku nejde o rozhovor, iba o deklaráciu. Aby si mu prisvedčil, dal za pravdu, podpísal súhlas. Inak v jeho očiach nemáš cenu, pretože zavážiš iba ako nástroj, ako inštrument, ako zbraň. Ľudia nejestvujú - je iba vec.

Błogosławiony ten, co nie mając nic do powiedzenia, nie obleka tego faktu w słowa. Cnotliwa kobieta nie goni za mężem, bo kto widział, by pułapka goniła mysz? Egoista: ten, który więcej dba o siebie niż o mnie. Pesymista twierdzi, że wszystkie kobiety to nierządnice. Optymista twierdzi, że nie, ale ma nadzieję. Pojęcia takie jak: wieczność, bezgraniczność zaczynam rozumieć dopiero wtedy, gdy załatwiam jakąś sprawę w urzędzie. Powiedzieć komuś: idiota! – to nie obelga, lecz diagnoza. Różnica między wielbłądem i człowiekiem – wielbłąd może pracować przez tydzień nie pijąc; człowiek może przez tydzień pić nie pracując. Żyj tak, aby znajomym zrobiło się nudno, gdy umrzesz.

A Lion Overpowered Sheikh Abu Masood bin Abi Bakr Harimi (r.a) reports that there was a very great Saint by the name of Sheikh Ahmed Jaam (r.a) He used to travel on a lion wherever he went. In every city that he visited, it was his habit to ask the people of the city to send one cow for his lion’s meal. Once, he went to a certain city and requested from the Saint of that city a cow for his lion. The Saint sent the cow to him and said, “If you ever go to Baghdad, your lion will receive a welcome invitation.” Sheikh Ahmed Jaam (r.a) then journeyed to Baghdad Shareef. On arriving in Baghdad, he sent one of his disciples to al-Ghawth al-A’zam (r.a) and commanded that a cow be sent to him, as a meal for his lion. The great Ghawth was already aware of his coming. He had already arranged for a cow to be kept for the lion. On the command of Sheikh Ahmed Jaam (r.a) Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) sent one of his disciples with a cow to him. As the disciple took the cow with him, a weak and old stray dog which used to sit outside the home of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) followed the disciple. The disciple presented the cow to Sheikh Ahmed Jaam (r.a) who in turn signalled the lion to commence feeding. As the lion ran towards the cow, this stray dog pounced on the lion. It caught the lion by its throat and killed the lion by tearing open its stomach. The dog then dragged the lion and threw it before al-Ghawth al-A’zam (r.a) On seeing this, Sheikh Ahmed Jaam (r.a) was very embarrassed. He humbled himself before the great Ghawth and asked for forgiveness for his arrogant behaviour. This incident shows the strength of a dog that only sat outside the stoop of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) This was due to its Nisbat to the blessed stoop of the great Saint. It also proves that even animals recognise and are loyal to the the Awliya Allah. A’la Hazrat, Sheikh Imam Ahmed Raza al-Qaadiri (r.a) portrays the above-mentioned incident in one of his poetic stanzas. He says: “Kya Dab’be Jis Pe Himayat Ka Ho Panja Tera, Sher Ko Khatre me Laata, Nahi Kut’ta Tera

-Co to ma znaczyć? - zawołał Woland. - Dlaczegoś sobie pozłocił wąsy? I po kiego diabła ci ta muszka, skoro nie masz nawet spodni? -Spodnie nie obowiązują kota, messer – niezmiernie z siebie zadowolony odpowiedział kocur. - Może polecisz mi, messer, włożyć jeszcze buty? Koty w butach występują jedynie w bajkach, messer. Ale czy zdarzyło ci się kiedykolwiek widzieć na balu kogoś, kto by nie był w muszce? Nie chciałbym znaleźć się w ośmieszającej sytuacji ani ryzykować, że zostanę wyrzucony za drzwi. Każdy przystraja się, jak może. Weź pod uwagę, messer, że to, co powiedziałem, odnosi się także do lorgnon! -Ale wąsy?... -Nie rozumiem – oschle zaprotestował kocur – dlaczego Azazello i Korowiow, goląc się dzisiaj, mogli się posypać białym pudrem, i w czym biały puder jest lepszy od złotego? Upudrowałem sobie wąsy, i to wszystko! Co innego, gdybym się ogolił! Ogolony kot to rzeczywiście shocking, zgoda, zawsze to przyznam. Ale w ogóle – głos kota zadrżał z obrazy – widzę, że robi się tu jakieś osobiste wycieczki pod moim adresem, widzę też, że staje przede mną poważny problem – czy aby powinienem iść na bal?
