In the realm of existence, we strive to find our way,
Shana, a student of tariqa, where the dervishes sway.
Our purpose unfolds through life’s diverse scenes,
To transcend the trials, discover what it truly means.
Beyond the illusion of self, we journey to explore,
Peeling back the layers, falsehood we implore.
Conditioned beliefs and stories, we cast them all aside,
For within our soul’s purity, true grace shall reside.
Tariqa’s path, a purification of heart and soul,
Inner and outer realms, making the spirit whole.
In seeking self, we seek the Divine’s embrace,
A dance of knowing ourselves, in the heart’s sacred space.
The student is ready when the Shaykh does appear,
Guidance and wisdom, making intentions clear.
Yet as readiness deepens, the Shaykh may fade from sight,
A test, an unveiling, on this mystical flight.
Strength found in trust, in the process we confide,
Faith, belief, and hope, in our hearts reside.
Fear has no place as we tread this sacred ground,
Slowly, step by step, our true selves are found.
No need to rush, each day a precious gem,
Some days good, some better, some joyfully stem.
In this journey of life, a tapestry we weave,
Cultivating gratitude, in love’s vast Ocean, we believe.
