About Shaykh BURHANUDDIN
You've no idea
how hard I've looked
for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right.
What's the point
of bringing gold
to a gold mine,
or water to the Ocean.
Everything I came up with
was like taking spices
to the Orient.
It's no good giving
my heart and soul,
because You already have these,
so - I've brought you
a mirror.
Look at Yourself
and remember me.
Jalaluddin Rumi
They say about Shaykh Burhanuddin:
“He is a modern mystic, a dedicated and passionate master of Life. He renders every gathering, be it a seminar, a spontaneous talk around a dinner table, or an official situation, an experience full of love, humour, and presence".
"To sit with him is a strong experience; it is difficult to remain untouched. Surely, you can escape from the Love and the divine Beauty he is pointing to, that he constantly praises; you can try not to look there. But if you allow your glance to fix in the direction you are so lovingly showed, then you will not be able to resist and you will be attracted by Love".
"Shaykh Burhanuddin is an inspired example of a dervish, a Sufi intoxicated with divine Love, with divine Joy."
"His passion and devotion for God and the Way, bring inevitably unexpected gifts to the people that come across him. His Love is infectious”.
"When I look into his eyes, i forget about myself, my problems, my shortcomings and I see only an ocean of Love where I can reflect myself with no weight".
"He is a flooding river of Love that sweeps you away, and let you surrender to Something higher than yourself".
Talking is pain.
Lie down and rest,
now that you've found
a Friend
to be with.
Jalaluddin Rumi
