(2010-01-16) For everything there is a light for their life, then it comes down, down, down up to the point of finishing. No one knows the number of Universes from our Lord’s endless Power Oceans, some of them are appearing, some of them disappearing. You must say: We are running to Reality Oceans to know something. – Every knowledge leads to Allâh’s whole creation. We must try to get from one level to another. The most important point which gives mankind honour over honour: al-‘ilmu bi-llâh, to know about our Lord’s attributes. To know what He likes what are the best deeds for His servants. Once a bedouin was called to the Sultan’s city. As a present he brought a bucket of water, most precious thing in the desert. “Well done,” said the Sultan, now fill your bucket will gold." Back at home, his wife was looking, “What is that? It would have been better to fill it with straw, because our donkey is shouting.” We are like that donkey, asking for straw now.
