Listen Well to your heart and Read Signs...

Mirdad, 
By Mikael Naimy


To be a conduit for Truth the tongue must never be a flail, a fang, a weather-vane , an acrobat, or a scavenger. Speak to relieve the speechless. Be speechless to relieve yourselves. Words are vessels that ply the seas of Space and touch at many ports. Take care as to what you load them with; for having run their course, they shall ultimately discharge their cargo at your gate. What the broom is to the house, self-searching is to the heart. Sweep well your hearts. A well-swept heart is a fortress unassailable. As you feed on men and things so they feed on you. Be wholesome food to others if you would not be poisoned. When in doubt about the next step, stand still. What you dislike dislikes you; like it and let it be, thus removing an obstacle from your path. The most unendurable nuisance is to consider anything a nuisance. Take your choice: either to won all things, or nothing at all. No middle course is possible. Every stumbling block is a warning. Read the warning well, and the stumbling block shall become a beacon. The straight is the brother of the crooked. The one is a short cut; and the other, a roundabout way. Have patience with the crooked. Patience is health when leaning upon Faith. When unaccompanied by Faith it is paralysis. To be, to feel, to think, to imagine, to know - behold the order of the main stages in the circuit of human life.

  2. Hello :)
    Thank you very much for this wonderful blissful exert from "Mirdad".
    I like the following a lot: "When in doubt about the next step, stand still. What you dislike dislikes you; like it and let it be, thus removing an obstacle from your path."
    And I have a few questions:
    - For how long can you stand still waiting for things to get clearer before moving to the next step?
    - Why would you stand still?
    - What if you don't manage to like something you dislike? Can't you move on by taking another road?
    Thank you :)
    Zeina :)
