00:00It's the day after second day of Eid, third day of Eid, people's himma begins to come
00:17down, people busy with other things.
00:24A'udhu billahi min ash-shaytan al-rajim, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Tariqatuna al-Sahbah, wa khayru fi jamiya.
00:34In fame, in renown, you know the word renown?
00:56Renown, renown means to be well-known everywhere, famous.
01:04In fame, there is afat, afat is affliction, like a parasite, like ticks, like fleas, like
01:19mosquitoes, like flies, like worms.
01:26Fame carries with it parasites that destroy your good deeds.
01:33That's better, Yasayini.
01:40Therefore, Sheikh was always saying, don't run after to be something.
01:50Try to be nothing.
01:56Try to be nothing.
01:58Ordinary.
02:03Sheikh Nazim used to say, Allah bless him, I am nothing, zero.
02:06Zero, but if you put one with that zero, it becomes something.
02:15You can put thousands of zeros, but without that one to be in front of it, it's nothing.
02:22So we're asking that one to be with us.
02:26If one is not with us, we're nothing.
02:28But ego is demanding to be one by itself, something, and without that one, it's nothing.
02:36Getting angry.
02:39Like Firaun, like Nimrod, like all tyrants.
02:44Ego is the biggest tyrant.
02:46If not given the chance to be the greatest one, who wants to burn everything.
02:59If put into a position of power and responsibility, wants to destroy everything.
03:07Therefore, always comes wars, and fightings, and bombings, and burnings.
03:16Everyone asking to be number one, and everyone else to be nothing, to be destroyed.
03:28No mind.
03:32No mind.
03:33You know, Sheikh Nazim said one time, they did a checkup for this world.
03:46You go to the doctor for a checkup, isn't it?
03:49What do they do?
03:50They take your blood pressure, your temperature.
03:53They put a pulse meter on your finger to see how is your oxygen level.
03:58If they want to do a deeper examination, they do x-ray, or CT scan, or blood tests, or urine tests.
04:09He said they did a kind of a checkup, spiritual checkup, for this world, for the people of Earth.
04:19And they got their test results back.
04:25You go for a biopsy, you go for a...
04:27You wait.
04:28Results are not back from the lab yet.
04:30Results came back from the lab.
04:33Spiritual lab.
04:34From up.
04:35And for those who were able to see it, for Aulia, Sheikh Nazim said,
04:39it came back three red flags, three problems.
04:43They said they found three things is lacking, missing, among people.
04:53One is justice.
04:59One is compassion.
05:02One is mercy.
05:05Missing from people.
05:08No justice.
05:10No one giving rights to the other one.
05:14No compassion.
05:15No one caring for the misfortunes of the other.
05:21And no mercy.
05:24No tolerance.
05:25No.
05:27Not able to pass it over.
05:34Sayyid Nambu Baqara Sadiq of the Aloha.
05:37He said, they said to him, do you get angry?
05:41He said, yes, I'm not a donkey.
05:42Of course I get angry.
05:43I'm a human being.
05:45But I'm slow to get angry.
05:48I don't get angry right away.
05:50Okay, okay, okay.
05:51Finally, they push my buttons.
05:53I get angry.
05:54But when I get angry, quickly I take it out.
05:58I put it aside.
05:59I put it aside.
06:06It's a very difficult training.
06:09No one coming to Dargis for Tariqat training.
06:15Everyone's going to enjoy themselves.
06:18No one's asking how when I'm angry or offended, I can put it aside.
06:24It's hard.
06:25It's very difficult.
06:27No one likes to do it.
06:29But it's an important teaching.
06:30There's a word in Arabic, ghil, ghil, to harbor a grudge.
06:45I remember 10 years ago, you said to me, you're too fat.
06:51Oh, yeah.
06:52And you keep that all your life.
06:54I remember 20 years ago.
06:56I remember 50 years ago.
06:57He said to me, I was.
06:59And you carry that with you.
07:00It's a poison.
07:04You have to take it out.
07:05If we can't take it out in this life, we have to face it on the serat.
07:16It said when we pass from this life and we're resurrected again into the next life,
07:21we have to pass the bridge, the serat.
07:25And that serat is a very thin bridge, thinner than a hair, sharper than a razor.
07:32We have to cross over hellfire on that bridge.
07:38And a lot of sheiks said it's not only a difficult bridge, it's a toll bridge.
07:43You have to pay the toll.
07:45You have to resolve your issues that you couldn't do in this life, with family, with people.
07:52You have to take those things out.
07:56You have to unload your grudge.
08:01You take it out.
08:03People have it.
08:05Countries have it.
08:05Nations have it.
08:10The president of Germany just came to the U.S.
08:13He wants Trump to let him use missiles to shoot on Russia.
08:18Why?
08:19We want to take our revenge from the Second World War.
08:22Yeah, but you invaded Russia.
08:25You fought us.
08:27Of course they fought you.
08:28You invaded them.
08:29You killed 27 million.
08:32You forgot?
08:33It was before my time.
08:35Yeah, right.
08:37No books, no video.
08:38It's an example.
08:44It's an example.
08:47Sheikh Hashem used to say to us, Grand Sheikh called them in one day.
08:53He said, I was fighting with my brother.
08:56He and Sheikh Adnan sometimes used to cross swords with each other.
09:00And they were young.
09:05And Grand Sheikh said, I'm going to teach you something today.
09:12If something happened two hours ago, I don't want to hear about it anymore.
09:17Don't say he did this.
09:19He'd drop it.
09:22But, but.
09:23Grand Sheikh would make himself like a mountain.
09:24He couldn't say anything.
09:26There was no but, but.
09:26Hey, but, sir.
09:27Hold on.
09:28No.
09:30He would close the door on that.
09:33Complaining.
09:34To teach them, take it out.
09:39Said, Junaid al-Baghdadi.
09:41Allah bless him.
09:44When they asked him, what was the tarikat?
09:48He said, tarikatuna.
09:52Kun.
09:53Be.
09:55Walid al-Waqd.
09:56A child of the moment.
09:58To be now.
09:59Leave what happened then.
10:02Be now.
10:03Be in here now.
10:06There was a famous hippie.
10:10Okay.
10:11He became Buddhist.
10:12I forgot what he was.
10:13Ram Dass.
10:15I forgot what was his original name.
10:20He wrote a famous book in hippie days.
10:23In the 60s.
10:25Saying, be here now.
10:31I wasn't shaking anyone's hand.
10:33Saying I came in angry.
10:35I told him before.
10:37One Sheikh sent an email.
10:39Saying, when you get angry.
10:40Breathe through your left nostril.
10:44Masculine energy in your right.
10:46And feminine energy in your left.
10:49Close the right nostril.
10:52Breathe through your left nostril.
10:54I said, okay.
10:54I got to calm down.
10:55Because you're not supposed to show anger.
10:58When you're angry, you can't show it.
11:00I'm feeling the feminine energy coming to take my energy, my anger down.
11:12As soon as I said, ha, I whipped it now.
11:15Fly came.
11:16Flew up my left nostril.
11:18Well, Anna, to teach.
11:23Oh, yeah?
11:24You're so clever.
11:29I'm going to leave now.
11:31So, too.
11:33It's important.
11:35It's not important to do a lot of worshipping.
11:38A lot of what's the benefit.
11:39If you're going to be angry, if you're going to be petty, if you're going to have all the bad characteristics with you.
11:46How you can improve.
11:49You're going to always be a child on the spiritual path.
11:53All the...
11:56Child has excuse.
11:58They can act up.
11:58What they can do is a small child.
12:00They can't do anything.
12:01But big ones have to be more mature.
12:07Old one has to be so mature.
12:09But comes always ego.
12:11Ego never likes to grow up.
12:14Ego stays always like a child.
12:17And never to grow up.
12:20Sheikh Mohammed was saying,
12:23Tariqah became like a children's playground now.
12:28Bounce house.
12:29And we're seeing free.
12:31Bounce house closed.
12:32Bounce house open again.
12:33We put water on the bounce house.
12:34What's the bounce house?
12:36It's Eid.
12:37Allahu Akbar wa lilai alhamdulillah.
12:42It's a...
12:43Difficult training.
12:48To try to make the...
12:51To head east.
12:53Towards Qabla.
12:55To try to...
12:57Improve the...
12:59Character.
13:00To be...
13:01Mature.
13:03Character.
13:03Spiritually mature.
13:05So the Sheikh can give us our amanat.
13:08Our trust.
13:10Auliyah are carrying a huge power.
13:13Like Sheikh Nazim.
13:13Like Sheikh Hisham.
13:15Carrying a huge power.
13:16And they can give to open for their marids.
13:20But how they can open when we're still like children?
13:22If they give that power, one moment of anger, we might kill someone.
13:28We might do.
13:29If they give that power, one person, one spiritual guide, Osho, had a book, Rajanish.
13:50We had a book of meditations.
13:57101 meditations.
13:59I said, one of them has to work for you.
14:02And one by one by one by one.
14:05Breathing in, breathing out, between the two breaths, concentrating.
14:09I came to the chapter on the third eye.
14:13The spot here.
14:16Sheikh Adnan says, try to take the vision of the shape between your two eyes.
14:21To do a marakaba there.
14:24Akikarohakane.
14:26And I'm reading that book.
14:28Try to sit and feel the power coming.
14:31And your third eye, your spiritual organ of perception.
14:36And I'm sitting, holding my friend.
14:40Oh, yeah.
14:41I'm feeding that power coming.
14:43Oh, yeah.
14:44I'm feeding.
14:48Let me see what's on the next page here.
14:50Oh, by the way, you have to be careful with this power.
14:54If this opens, and you want somebody to be dead, immediately without being dead,
15:00you won't be able to stop it.
15:01I said, what?
15:02You want to do suicide, you'll drop dead immediately, you won't be able to stop it.
15:06I said, whoa, I'm already...
15:08Stop.
15:09Close it.
15:15You have to put it at the beginning.
15:17You don't put the caution cliff.
15:19You say, at the cliff, we see you coming to it.
15:27May Allah forgive us.
15:30We're asking to reach to our reality.
15:33I don't want to make it long.
15:35We're asking to reach to our spiritual reality.
15:38Everyone has growing up to do whatever stage of life you're at.
15:43We have to improve.
15:47Improve.
15:48That we can reach to what Allah created us for.
15:50To be His deputies.
15:51To be His kula fa.
15:56I intended to do, or I did, or I'm going to do a deputy for myself on earth.
16:08Human beings.
16:08The first one, Adam, our lady's son, our grandfather, peace be upon him.
16:13And all his descendants were candidates for that position.
16:18But we didn't reach it yet.
16:21Too much testing has to go on.
16:23The ones responsible for opening that power, they can't make a mistake.
16:29Never mind giving me say, oh, what happened?
16:31They blew up North America, South America, Europe.
16:36Why?
16:37Oh, I gave him his power, but he wasn't ready.
16:40Destroyed everything.
16:41My mistake.
16:43He's not going to make a mistake.
16:45We have to be, remember, step by step, do for Allah.
16:53Asking to reach our real level.
16:57Sheikh Nazim said, Grand Sheikh, he said, if he's angry, can't show it.
17:02If he's sick, he can't show it.
17:04If he's tired, can't show it.
17:06Impatient, can't show it.
17:08Nervous, can't show it.
17:09You can't show any of the signs of our egos.
17:15We're human beings.
17:19It's a high target.
17:20We can't do it.
17:21But step by step, to ask to be a control.
17:26Prophet used to pray.
17:27So we'll finish with this.
17:29Allahumma, la taqinna ina nafs tarfa ta'ayin.
17:34Oh, my Lord, don't leave me to my ego for even the blink of an eye.
17:39Fa'inneka in taqinna ina nafs.
17:41Tu karir mina shar, tu bayi mina khair.
17:44If you leave me to my ego, even the blink of an eye, I'll be run after every badness and run far away from every goodness.
17:54Don't leave me to my ego.
17:56By your mercy, we're saved.
17:58We're asking our Lord to catch us and our prophets always to catch us and our faith to catch us with his holy hands, not to fall into the traps of our ego and the tricks of shaitan.
18:17Clinging to this dunya, asking to be number one and never to be happy with Allah's favors, never to say thank you, oh, our Lord, what you granted me.
18:30Always complaining.
18:32Sheikh Hashem said, listen what your ego is saying.
18:34It never stops complaining.
18:37Showering with complaints.
18:38Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
18:40Day and night.
18:43It's never enough.
18:44It's never all right.
18:47You give 100 months, 200.
18:48You give 500, gives 1 million.
18:50Whatever you have, no.
18:55Allah, who is happy with what Allah gave him, he's in paradise now, he said by a prophet.
19:02That's all, I said, Fatih.
19:10I'm going to say, we're looking, we're testing who's going to be grateful, who's going to be ungrateful.
19:18Rabbi Shukur.
19:20Rabbi, it's enough to say, Shukur, Shukur, Shukur, and this thing.
19:24Ya Rabbi Shukur.
19:27What we do now?
19:28Ash-shadu in la ilaha wa illallah.
19:32Wa ash-shadu anna muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu.
