For That Bewildering Beloved
Haira (Perplexity)
http://www.untiredwithloving.org/hairat.html
One of the dear Murids (Seekers of the Divine) in Mexico complained
about feelings of being lost and anguish, unbeknownst to this friend,
this is the way the Voyage upon this Path commences and continues and
ends!
This write-up is verbatim from Farhang-eh Istilahat-eh Irfani (The
Dictionary of Gnostic Terminologies) by Sajjadi, mostly based upon
Rouzbihan Baqli ****razi’s Sharh-eh Shat-hiyat, Khajeh Abdallah Ansari
and Farided-Din Attar.
I feel so sorry for those who are confident about the little knowledge
they acquired, whether the secular of you or the religious of you, for
when there is no Haira (Perplexity) there is no Voyage whatsoever!
If I travel in a strange new country, not knowing their language and
not knowing any friends not having any maps, for sure I will be lost
multiple times here and there for this reason or that reason.
The person who stayed home never gets lost! They are always confident
and happy because no matter what they do, they are always there!
