Todays drink has me a little unsure. I don't know if I necessarily agree, Mr. Khan says when we observe the pleasure and displeasure in man we know the pleasures and displeasures of God. Although I can agree to an extent with this statement, I also find myself questioning.
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan
The religion of the Sufi is the religion of the heart. The principal moral of the Sufi is to consider the heart of others, so that in the pleasure and displeasure of his fellow-man he sees the pleasure and displeasure of God.
~~~ "Complete Works, Original Texts, Feb 26, 1924", by Hazrat Inayat Khanhttps://wahiduddin.net/saki/saki_date.phpIs man not flawed? Right now I am being made an enemy by a coworker over something that never happened. I am also having to block others on my phone in order to promote well being. I can't be worried with how these people feel because worrying or attempting to communicate seems to make matters worse.
Jeong Kwan, a buddhist monk mentioned here just recently says her freedom comes from being alone. I don't think being a crowd pleaser will lead to liberation or true happiness.
Do you have any thoughts on the matter?
Many times in life we may be reaping the harvest of distant past karma. Through this karma God can show us his pleasure or displeasure but we may not remember these deeds we did so it may be difficult to assertain where this pleasure or displeasure originated. The point is to endure what ever we must with calmness and kindness so that we may be able to recognize the kindness and pleasure we have given others who now return it to us. In the process we will be more and more in tune with the divine plan and thus gain our own pleasure and find our displeasure decreasing.
