Title: Self-Forgetting Meditation Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Aug 29, 2016 05:09 pm i think what intrigued me most is this from your thread 'Meeting Between Henry Ford and Murshid Inayat Khan.
“And I agree with you,” said Murshid Inayat Khan. Murshid (teacher) Khan, exponent of that mysticism which has flourished for centuries in the dreamland under the shadows of the Himalayas, and who has been preaching in recent years throughout Europe his gospel of self-forgetting meditation, is in Detroit, giving lectures at the Twentieth Century Club. STUDIES HIS VIEWS. Title: Re: Self-Forgetting Meditation Post by: guest88 on Aug 29, 2016 08:13 pm The whole aim of the Sufi is, by thought of God, to cover his imperfect self even from his own eyes, and that moment when God is before him and not his own self, is the moment of perfect bliss to him. My Murshid, Abu Hashim Madani, once said that there is only one virtue and one sin for a soul on the path: virtue when he is conscious of God and sin when he is not. No explanation can fully describe the truth of this except the experience of the contemplative to whom, when he is conscious of God, it is as if a window facing heaven were open, and to whom, wherein he is conscious of the self, the experience is the opposite. For all the tragedy of life is caused by being conscious of the self. All pain and depression is caused by this, and anything that can take away the thought of the self helps to a certain extent to relieve man from pain, but God-consciousness gives perfect relief.
