O? the one who has a different secret with someone
And test every beggar at your home differently
One hundred thousands of chamberlains of the friend?s love
Those who play a different song on a different fret

Sheik Rouzbahan


Loving attitude toward what exists in our lives needs human?s knowledge and cognition of inside and outside. This cognition leading in inner calmness would result, eventually, in other positive and beneficial influences on human?s behavior. It is obvious that such consequent cognition and calmness is an approach to loving attitude. Such love hampers pressures and tenseness and gradually prevents one from various illnesses.
The highest level of perfection and the target of nurturing the soul are to reach the honor of love in which any material and spiritual bonds are torn with the exception of the bond to the beloved and sabotages the egotism on the way to beloved and makes the one lose anything s/he has.


The creatures? ladder is these very I and We
The result would be falling off the ladder
Everyone, who climes higher, is more stupid
Consequently they would hurt themselves more badly
Leave talking about habitual self-indulgence behind
Show respect for those who have forgotten themselves
Moulana

On love, I said in brief as much as I could; however as to how we can reach this level of calmness-creating love is another story. In fact, we targeted the aim more or less and we talked about its values but we did not talk about the path reaching that honor nor how we are able to achieve it and how many stages it has. This affair is completely important, valuable and noticeable and has kept the whole societies thinking about it and has resulted in different and abundant thoughts and methods.
Since thoughtful humans, there have been many thoughts designed and shall not end now and it shall continue for a long time after us. The path is indefinite. There would be an innovative thought in any stage of history to lead in humans? consummation path in a desirable fashion.
This is not true to say that something which we state today is last word on today?s creed. As such declares impurity of the thought we claim.
Human is a dynamic creature and is flowing over the same as a tempestuous river; however the direction is one to the sea of love, monotheism and unity. The current of human history is an evidence for that. Stubbornness, perversity and hardship of principle-based schools have led in many disasters during history. They think of themselves as muttering the only everlasting words and insist on their following the right path. They also believe in approaching God solely by following a special person or group and as such. This kind of petrifaction has created many crimes which today?s generation is embarrassed at.

Turning rock into green for the spring is impossible
Become soil to be the bed of growing colorful flowers
You have been as hard and tough as rock for years
For a new experience, be soil for sometime
Moulana


Humans have always been after a heavenly life and still are but not a localized, definite heaven in the hands of some special persons.
We, as humans, are searching for something to satisfy our soul needs including calmness, love, peace, friendship and all positive attributes which lead in flourishing and developing the thought and a free mind within this material life. And, after all, this is not a place where allow everyone to enter to achieve one?s favorites. There might be this very thought thousands of years ago; however, no one may think of that special, social congregation and everyone desires a dynamic, live thought as a lifestyle to nourish this very personal life, this very unitary individual which is widely vast on the aspect of its core, by heavenly, desirable life conditions.
To put it another way, all this is to keep worries, psychosomatic pressures, meaningless and unreasonable prejudices created by ill-formed thoughts away. Human, is in search of such condition. In this material world, human is searching for soul happiness; a life full of tranquility. Today?s human is tired of imaginary heaven and hell on their due date.
Obviously, in anyone?s individual life, there are some more important factors in relation with someone else?s. A man in an oasis looks after green, water and shadow and a man inhabiting frigid climate is happy with a little sunshine and warmth and light. Therefore, every individual?s world differs from someone else originating in the same tribe, clan, family or parentage. It is impossible to consider the same heaven for two people as this would be living in hell for someone but heaven for someone else.
Therefore, life conditions for someone are different from someone else?s and everyone is a horse of another color. Generalities may be the same but different in details.
On this basis, a definite notion to select is a failure; in addition, claiming to be the life savior is not mature. This is a wrong word and an untrue thought.
Therefore, we should always stay sharp, awaiting a new plan to solve previous, old general problems. However, every single individual is the only absolute power in his/her own personal life vicinity. That?s why everyone sees a different flower more beautiful. Flowers are all beautiful but to me, a special flower looks more beautiful and to you another special flower with different attributes.
This is the same with notions and beliefs. Humans have turned the eyes toward unity though history and the direction is the unitary one. For this, every person sees the relation and selects it differently and the prophets? role in here was suggesting which path to chose and that?s all.
Mystics see this attitude toward unity from the point of love as it is known as the most beautiful and highest human?s emotional feeling in the cosmos. The way they look at the world is along with love. They head for the beloved threshold. They have secret loving words and utterance with the beloved. They know abnegating their existence on the path of beloved as a proof to their love and affection to the beloved. These dears are flowing on the path to the beloved free from any notion, convergence or controversy saying:


We are the followers of the tavern
And we don?t head the mosque
While clutching the cup farer
We would not lose it
We are the wayfarers of the lovers? paths
We are the confidants on the secrets
We are dealing with the beloved
And we are free from both worlds
We have spent our soul on the matters of heart
We are impecunious for the broken heart
The glass of wine which mutters solely about love
We prefer the wine to both worlds
Soul is the burden and wisdom is overburden
Love matters and we are involved in it
O? the cup bearer! We would die of languor
Prescribe syrup as we are ill
Give us a kiss as your lips
To sacrifice our soul the same as the cup of wine
We are not cenobite of the monastery
We are drunk for the wine
Hermits are of different origin from us
We are drunk and known as hobos
Salman Savoji


These dears have found their heavenly life in love and they are happy with that and never like to be controlled with any other power. Their relationship with God Almighty is personal and they don?t allow anyone else to mediate, interfere or something and they know this kind of interference a deviation from the path to God. This kind of thought belongs to Sufism as well with a slight difference. Both have a three-division training principles to reach to the truth; however, there are some differences in each training principles between these two. We will talk about them later, but now, we name these three training principles as follows:


Religion, truth path, the truth


Religion
Religion is collection of principles and rules that the human accept even before he or she is born. To put it another way, it means an unwanted congenital notion which directly relates to the geographical place of birth and the individual?s family. For example, a Chinese man is a communist as his society and family are all communist or someone born in Saudi Arabia is a Muslim.
Therefore, religion is the first touch with thought. Now, we should see that how these religions are humanitarian and free, it means that, whether this child is allowed to have notion growth or not. On the other hand, does this congenital religion pave the way to the higher levels of thought growth or not? Its study is not difficult and its result is clear as well. By referring to history, we find that there are a few numbers of religions that allow the change of notion and way of thinking and even disagreeing with it and in some of them, capital punishment has been predicted or suggested.
Many scientists and man of minds refuse to accept such stage and agree to accept it as a start that every individual, after some research, chooses his or her favorite religion and some believe that these religious principles which are congenital should be obeyed in the rest of someone?s life.
There is no definite result for that. Some have been more successful by leaving religious principles behind and some not in the next stages. It depends on everyone?s talents and target aiming of his or her culture. But, as the history exposes, too much blood has been for keeping religion and governmental religions have all led in poorness, misery, rape and dependence.
There are many references about what religions say and what aims they follow. But, this is good to know that religion is the first stage of belief facing it compulsorily from early stages of life and this is enough to understand it all.
This is good to know that religion has been winded in the first training stages and introduce God as a tough power and within the beginning of life lessons, jurisprudents have tried to make humans afraid of other ways of thinking and there is the thought of being taken to hell for the religion followers. Therefore, many different ways have been designed and we are fed from early stages of our lives not to accept any other way of thinking or notion.

No need for school anymore
Hallelujah! The tavern accepts us with open arms
Sit at the tavern?s door and observe the sanctum
Don?t consider the monetary as the path is quite long
Take a look at our heart on the path of truth
Loving in this tavern is not abstract
My heart burnt for my blood hotness for you
In the hotness of the wine, the drunken cup is roaring
Be a servant of Moqan sage and for that plays the role of king
As this caravan is heading Hejaz path
My existence string is in harmony with your musical instrument
Blood in my vessel is leaping for the weep of reed
My artery is pulsating with the tone of your words
My existence rule is attuned with your sound
Do something not to reveal the secrets of the friends
The heart?s dancing is wondering what secret is
At dawn, hand us a cup to say in chorus
Here is a great pleasure, joy and music
The nightingale is weeping; I am sunk in Ghazal and the hookah in hubbub
Drink the wine at dusk as it is time to pray
Hallelujah! We broke our old repentance
We are that very drunk person
Masaheb Ganjavi

When we come to know that we have been following an unwanted religion or undesirable principles and we have had no right growth, we understand that religion has the power to force people to do and it is only being kept in the same stage. Obviously, we come to think that if this path is right or wrong.
Therefore, great mystics leave this freeness to the individual, however, some Sufism groups have different notions that have different methods from mystics? and I will talk about it in the truth path section.
The big problems of religion being obvious to all are being congenital, hard, unwanted and forced and also difficult to understand which the target is to look down on the individual.
We can?t neglect the humans civilization and today?s people think and like to know the reasons behind everything and knowing that obeying this principle will lead to heaven or not, has no purchaser.
Blind fanaticism on a special way of thought is just the key to negligence, and feather-brained way of thinking.
Today, our heart is the controlling power over our lives and is searching for love and calmness and it is no longer possible to live with prejudices, fantasy and imagination. The influence of these pressures is just running away from dynamic religions.

O? the one who thinks him as conscious
Listen to this quoted from the Prophet
It is enough of meditating
You are slumbering in unawareness. Go and search
The heaven gown you are wearing
Is the gown of egotism; undress yourself
Whoever enters this tavern, at first,
Is ordered to have a gulp of wine
Your own volition is the cup bearer of this wine
O? the tattered one! You are the bartender of that jovial
Being honored as consent is the meaning of being drunk
Put this hot wine into the corridors of hear
To make the door of consciousness closed
And to make your heart an eye and ear
As the mirror of the kingdom is the heart
As the heart is the origin of divine lights
Ronaq Alishah Kermani


A non-dynamic religion hampers the humans? growth and its prejudicial principles block the human?s life and we know that God?s servants need to have a relationship with God to gain his energy from the indefinite divine source not from a person on earth the same as him or her that it is not evident if he or she is more powerful or not. It is impossible to measure humans? potentials and their approach to God. Everyone has a different and independent path to God as in history we find that individual dependence and look have always been a trick to a clan and has led people to aberration, after all, there is no third person between a human and his or her creator and even that very third person is a disturbance in the relationship with God.
Totally, religion being equipped with all these facilities and potentials since early stages of life on earth has a big hole and doesn?t have the enough mental and spiritual potential. That?s why it is going to fall down and hit the ground. In front of dynamic, thoughtful today?s human, they have nothing but fanaticism, unlogicalism and sometimes crime and capital punishment.

To move to accept our fate for trickery and affection
To be drunk for him
The wine seller of eternity is wearing earrings
To drink wine; to be tricky and pure
The confidants of secrets of soul world
We are accompanies of dissipated mystics
Ka?bah is not within our vicinity
We are inside the tavern
O? the cup bearer! How long should we tolerate the wisdom?s curiosity
Hand us a cup as we are not a man of mind
We wouldn?t touch the creatures? hearts
We would touch the curved harp
The beloved is around and visible but the blind eyes
Home is light by the sun and we are bats
To see what the result of the beloved kindness would be
Then, for that, we would plant a seed
Eyelashes are the sweep and eyes are full of tears
In the vicinity of consummation we are working hard
The visage itself is unaware of
Being the model perfect of the designer
We have read from the concatenate lines of the cup
To be the drunk for him
As love orders, path is one
Everywhere whether hermitage or monastery is the same
Amir Hussein Sadat Heravi


It is noticeable that we should expect that religion which is traditional, fanatic and non-dynamic can have a good answer to today?s thoughts and humans? mind. A religion which has been a thousand of years away from being researched and investigated and today?s human is a overwhelmed by the wonders of the cosmos, which being overwhelmed is a stage over public beliefs which has been gained by scientific approaches, has open the overwhelmed eyes of the human and today?s eyes will never jump back to hard religious notions.
A religion as such which has solved all the problems in its own eyes and even has prepared some pre-defined homework before the human?s birth and brings the human into a closed tunnel of congenital, unquestionable path and has defined the path to heaven or hell before the birth date. In public and ordinary religion, everything is ready and no one has any questions and travels in a similar way in the same distance and as this person has no questions, he will be no worry for the jurisprudents. The very person will not see the God?s blessings which lead in ordinary religious people?s disagreement and damnation.
The problem is when the human consummation faces the stage of overwhelm and ask questions and gains a kind of view which these many clamors of universe make him overwhelmed. If he asks questions, hot and melted lead is poured into his throat, or is crossed, or is whipped or hung.
History is a great experience to notice.
Overwhelm stage is another stage of human consummation which no blind imitation is allowed. The individual, by reaching the overwhelm stage, stands against religion and ask questions and as religion has no answer, he is punished. It is obvious that overwhelm stage against religion is a big block.
Today?s human understands the sound of fountain and writes its melody. Today?s human has the feeling of pleasure and love and understands the butterfly?s drunkenness. Today?s human sees this great orbiting cosmos and he himself wants to be on the orbiting path. What ordinary, traditional and decayed religion allows an individual such desires? Who fears from the 4-lettered word of ?love?? Who crucified Messiah who was the God of love and why they did this? Who cut Hussein Hallaj into pieces that were a true love of God? Who punished the scientists and inventors and poured melted hot lead into their mouth? Who are still committing crimes and looking down on someone by the name of religion and God?

Open the heart?s eye to see the soul
You would see the one which is unseen

Hatef Esfahani

Religion, tradition and creed which is against           science and consummation
Religion, tradition and creed which is against
          thinking and innovation
Religion, tradition and creed which is against
          change, evolution of notions
Religion, tradition and creed which is against
          poem and literature
Religion, tradition and creed which is against
          patriotism and affection
Religion, tradition is against and creed which
          music, dance and happiness

Everything from anyone is not definitely divine but from earth and is from a cold, hard rock. A tomb which is as high as ignorance and as wide and feather-brained as fanaticism on which I, this pitiful servant, have engraved such words with beautiful, Persian calligraphy:

He lasts forever
In this grave, slumbering some people of hell who are against
Humanity, the ones who have never been qualified for a heavenly life
The ignorant who gave the human society nothing but betrayal and crime
These people came stupidly, lived stupidly and went into their own lives stupidly
O? dear
Try to leave this place
Not to be a member of them and not to be a man of their type

Amin
