book of aphorisms by a Pakistani lawyer

Mysticism

Expression diminishes the intensity of experience, but there is no sharing without expression.
A mystic aspires to his vision of godliness and in the process upsets the dogma of the cleric.
Mysticism permeates Jife with the overwhelming sense of the unknown and invokes the keen desire to raise its quality from the mundane to the sublime.
Life is to be lived as it happens, searching for awakening in the being.
Every track leads to one end of the journey- oblivion. What really matters is the manner in which we travel the path.
Stones dance for those who believe in the symbolism of matter.
It took stars billions of years to make a nightingale sing.
What is reality? It tastes of tears and smells of roses.
To know the ultimate, experience it in isolation.
Know thyself to feel the pain of others. We share the same destiny.
The bucket is full of water. Drops fall from the faucet. Hear the sound tick, tick tick.
The truth of reality is timeless infinity, boundless eternity, ever expanding void and my craving ml to participate in these singularities in the deep abysses of time and space.
An we know is existence, as it is. We do not know why the existence is, as it is.
Wisdom lies in the felt knowledge, awaking self. lfll
Look to feel without thinking.
It is the longing for immortality which makes the man seek omnipotence to participate in its permanence.
If you are introspective, you become sensitive, which makes you susceptible to the pain of others.
End of the universe is void. Everything here is for nothing.
The doors of perception open when you eliminate doubt and believe in self.
For entering the doors of perception, leave the baggage of ego behind.
The doors of perception will open, when you enter with thoughtless wakefulness and feelings of awe and wonder.
Otherness of the external things define our lives. They tell us what we are not and impress upon us that the existence has no meaning without them. Pain and pleasure are awareness of the interaction between objects and the self, the counterpoints of reference and meaning.
You will know the enigma of life, if you feel the freshness of objects through the eyes of a child, find the wordless wisdom in the thingness of things and learn how to be captivated by
ml the ordinary.
You cannot produce sound with one hand clapping. The matter must strike matter. Like the lightening shining through the clouds, absorb phenomena to light up from within.
Form gives substance to emptiness. Emptiness sets limits to the form. Void without mind is ml meaningless. There is someone thinking about the void.
Conformity is the negation of individuality. In order to be your self, refuse to stand and be Im counted as one of the herd.
The dark stary night is spread out there magnificently high above me. I sense the countless stars scattered in the endless galaxies; the immensity of empty space is filled with stark darkness and the twinkling lights of the thousands of years reach across to me. I am immersed in the intense and serene vision of this infinite vastness and mystery. I become part of this vision. It both fulfils and distracts me with its exploding nublae and contracting black holes.
In the bay, watch rugged hills and surging sea from the eyes of a seagull soaring between them.
Ask and it shall not be given to you; seek, and you shall not find it; knock, and it shall not be opened to you, unless you ask, seek and knock with an aching heart. Such is the mystery of self-ful fillment.
Live life as it happens, observing yourself.
The mystery of life is as soluble as seeing a rainbow in the night, measuring the depth of sea with a pitcher, hearing the sound of a petal dropping and pushing a ray of light.
