Kamal Jumblat Quotes
(& Thanks again, Ananda, for introducing Kamal Jumblat to AYP!)
“In the peace of mind, there is a strange secret that works in all the feelings of the body, the colors of sentiments and epiphanies of the wits.”
“How can man live joyously if he does not enjoy the magic of this existence and the innocence of this nature in spontaneity?”
“Love attracts things and makes them gather and unify, and hatred makes them disintegrate and vanish.”
“We are slaves to knowledge, for knowledge is the key to the mind.”
“Religion, in its reality, is the door through which man visits his reality- that is, the reality of Existence; a light that extinguishes the darkness of idle beliefs and surpasses it.”
“The way to Him is to forget the way.”
“Religion is a path and a way rather than a goal or pilgrimage.”
“Religions and spiritual beliefs are in essence purification practices that aim at the development of the human self from the traces of selfishness that occupies the individual, social, and national organism.”
“Consciousness is the essence of existence.”
“Happiness is in the victory over ignorance rather than knowing more things.”
“True love goes beyond duality; there is absolutely no exchange in true love. It is love for the sake of virtue.”
“We should always seek the truth in what we say.”
“Enlightened and unconditional friendship is no different from true love.”
“Joy and happiness do not separate from love…the beauty of essence.”
“Love is worshipping the image of absolute beauty in the beholder.”
“Change comes from within.”
“True love is the path to oneness.”
“Physical beauty, whose manifestation is harmony, is the reflection of true beauty on the souls.”
“Ethics is self-respect and respect to others.”
“Without love, man cannot construct.”
“Poetry and the best of it is poetry that sheds the light on the essence of life, i.e., on the reality and beauty of existence.”
“The Truth itself is beyond definition in words or by mental concepts. It cannot be put on the level of the world.”
“Each time you do a good deed, it requires some sacrifice on your part, and this helps you lose some of your egoism. You are purified. For the only single original sin is the sin of egoism. There is no other original sin.”
“There is an aristocracy of the soul, irrespective of denomination, which gives us all our sense of honor, our reason for working, thinking, loving, and living.”
“ Everything that reaches its end, becomes the opposite."
”A love-based marriage is a divine secret that leads the couple to unveil and appreciate the Sacred Beauty.”
“Every human being has the potential to become Christ. For every human is Christ in his own inner being.”
“Civilization has no meaning but through the discipline of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors…”
“God’s presence is dictated by the extent to which egoism is abolished and absent in us…Those who are pure in heart attain the Ultimate Reality of Existence. All of us, in truthful inclination and equality are Muslim and in fraternity and love are Christians.”
(NOTE: Lebanon is a nation comprised primarily of Christians and Muslims - so Kamal Jumblat's quote above cites those two religions for that reason ... and is all the more profound, per a common sense of friction between adherents of these two religions; just as Gandhi said, "I am a Muslim and a Hindu; a Christian, a Buddhist and a Jew" -- so Kamal Jumblat seems to be saying that the essence of humanity transcends the exterior labels of religion. ~KM)
“There is no real death; there is only a change of corporal garb.”
“The kingdom of heaven is in your inner self, don’t search for it outside.”
“To discover the Reality is the only goal that deserves to live for. The Reality is the name of God. It is the happiness, the freedom, and the heaven of peaceful hearts.”
“There is no complete happiness without knowing the final Reality of this explicit and implicit Existence.”
AUM is the One Sound Rhyming With Everything,

hi Kirtanman , thk you for sharing these gems that's very kind of you.
i've read your post in Sparkle's topic (thk you for the FYI notice), most of km's poems in English or french are to his guru (in his little book "Ananda Felicite") and it's sad but the best stuff is in arabic in his book "farah" "joy" in precise which if translated by someone with no experience in translating poetry might lose it's fragrance for km's poetry is filled with celestial melody of deep longing to shed the skin and be in the never ending spring of the beloved...
btw most of the stuff about him on the net is biographical and political, not much is mentioned about his spiritual life except on some specific websites.
i hope one day, the socialist progressive party might translate some of his books like "fima yata3ada el 7aref" "in what's beyond the letter" for his books are a mixture of oneness in all religions speaking mainly from the source (truth realized) and as you know and i know whenever two sages meet they always do agree on one thing that truth is the same wherever and whenever.
Ananda Felicite is still copyrighted so i don't know if i can share the stuff in it publicly but i'll share the simple intro in which he presents his book to his loving guru Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon as a sign of devotion.
"I put this garland of unworthy faded flowers on the feet of the greatest of all Gurus.
A soft breath from him makes us alive, our mind becomes pure, our body the holiest of all bodies.
Happiest who has seen him once, because he will never know death."
Kamal Joumblatt
wouldn't you like to meet a guru like that , i know i am dying too
by the way Kamal believes in the fact that spiritual practices do the purifying work but for him as most suffis and mystics here in the east believe the true way toward finding God or truth demands the presence of a realized Guru who can pour the light of true knowledge into the sadhaka and burn his karmas and attract him toward...
and in my own humble opinion, even though Yogani says that the guru is in you he is doing what Kamal and those eastern mystics talking about for in the end a true guru will guide you toward the guru in you and the reason why people go to gurus is to learn that they don't need one and they have it all within but nevertheless a divine spark to soften the veil from an up close and personal realized being never hurts.
light and love,

Beautiful Ananda.
"wouldn't you like to meet a guru like that, i know i am dying too"
Then you will. If you have a desire of meeting such a guru, then you will be blessed by the presence of such a guru.
But the beauty is, in order to realize what Kamal has said: "A soft breath from him makes us alive, our mind becomes pure, our body the holiest of all bodies.
Happiest who has seen him once, because he will never know death.", you have to be open as Kamal was when he met his guru. The more you open, the more you will be able to experience the guru. You will be able to imbibe his/her silence and bask in his/her energy and receive his/her blessings with an open heart and not how your thinking mind would want it to be. Hence, being on a spiritual path and doing all the groundwork, in order to be an open container to get your gurus blessings is what AYP will teach you. AYP is not about not having a guru. It's more about getting the groundwork done, so when a guru does appear before you, you can get the most from it.

No, it doesn't mean that. We all need outer knowledge to open ourselves to inner experience. The phrase is intended as a constant reminder that your enlightenment depends on you more than anyone, because it is only through your desire and action that divine experience can rise in you. It is only through your nervous system that pure bliss consciousness and divine ecstasy can be known. You cannot delegate it. It is only by you making a daily effort to purify your nervous system that anything can happen. It is you who are making the journey.
Maybe your journey means surrendering at the feet of an outer guru for your whole life. Or maybe it means purifying yourself by following a number of teachers over your lifetime. Whatever the outer relationships turn out to be, it is the divine expression coming from inside through your heart's longing that will lead you to them. What happens outside is a reflection of what is happening inside, not the other way around. This is the meaning of, "The guru is in you." If we long deeply inside, we will attract the teachings we need. Then it is up to us to take advantage of the blessings we have attracted, and act. If we do, then there will be an expansion inside -- an expansion of pure bliss consciousness and awakened divine ecstasy within us. We will find whoever or whatever ideal we have chosen expanding within us also. So, the guru is inside, even as we may be interacting with him or her in form (or forms) on the outside. Outer teachers and gurus are storehouses of spiritual knowledge and energy we attract and are drawn to on our journey to the infinite. Ultimately, our interaction with them is inside. Inside is where the rubber meets the road. |

Those who worship God without knowledge are worshipping idols
constructed by the alien self, and the one who worships a god answering
his materialistic objects is not worshipping God, but his own objects…Our
duty is to go deeply in understanding each other and to get rid of all
obstacles (…) to remember that Man purifies the temple, rather than the
temple purifies Man.

aum
kirtanman, these quotes are so beautiful!
it will not be too distant in future that we will see the essence of these higher conscious thoughts much a part of everyone's thought and daily realities.
the truth is that prophets of all ages and masters of higher consciousness experienced the same oneness and expressed this wisdom through the imperfect mind of humanity of the specific moment in time. with the advent of this 'newer age' we are living in, this mind of ours has evolved- and has been blessed to reflect the wisdom of oness more clear in its peace, its love, its oneness, its non-violence, tolerance and goodness.
gratitude for sharing the treasures of wisdom expressed!

Thanks, Nandhi!
I wholeheartedly agree ....
... and as you wrote above, the prophets, sages and saints of all paths and all times wholeheartedly agree ... by realizing the One Mind, the One Heart of Reality Now .....
All Is Wholeness
All Is Home
All is One
All is AUM
.... and as we are all ("this mind of ours" as you wrote) opening to the beautiful knowing of, now .... reality is One, and therefore, so are we, All, Now.
Wholeheartedly,
Kirtanman

another little stick of thought to add to this lovely fire here-
the vibrant stillness of source wisdom is the beloved one whom prophets and all masters of higher consciousness express as ways to be.
in union, free Be.
aum

Being a big fan of this guy, i am recently starting to understand more and more the radiant impact he had. Almost all the serious Yogis and Yoginis here in Leb have been very influenced by the man either through reading his stuff or by just being born in the area near where he lived or having parents who lived there.
And i stress on the geographical location because it's really quite something, i am meeting more and more yogis and yoginis everyday from different sects here in Leb who are from the same area where Kamal Joumblat came from. And 90% of them have been into India and back because of the lack of gurus over here and the presence of many teachers. I am not from the same area but his writings had such a big influence on me...
What dazzles me most lately, is that i've been having the good luck of meeting a lot of higher beings, yogis and yoginis and holy men.
I've recently met 2 sages one in Beirut and the other in Damascus (Syria) and the thing is that neither does take the pedestral as a guru and again that reminds me of Kamal's saying: "There are sages and there are sage gurus, not all sages are gurus." Now because of their old age, they might be traditional and this is something which i am personally attracted to... Both of them have had a guru and both of them speak about the greatness of such a relation and it's benefit never mention not going through many of the horrors of overloading. If anything i am back into looking for a guru these days in order to surpass my overloading symptoms and testimonies from many people seem to indicate the efficacy of that.
Love,
Ananda |
