Document Summary
It needs to be experienced to understand it. Khan: [it is] the emptiness i feel when you are not with me : the longing i feel, passionately, when you are with me . Having your heart broken allows you to relate to music and poetry. Nobody else but you exists : this is sufism. Much profound love for god that you die before you die. You become one with god and lose individuality. Greater jihad is against the self: purification of the soul, the spiritual battle to become a better person. If you are the same person two days in a row you are a loser . Hadis a quisis: things muhammad said, thoughts of god, i was a hidden treasure, i wanted to be known, so i created creation to be known . God created people to be known and loved. The levels of existence and importance: lowest -> highest. The higher ontological planes cannot know the lower ones.
