- Murat, suicide as an act of will : if it is to commit a terrorist act, it is brain washing, not an act of will at all, it is all the contrary. Answer : No, in this example, suicide does not reject life itself, but only rejects the conditions under which life is given. I don't agree with those who ...

LIKE THIS If anyone asks you how the perfect satisfaction of all our sexual wanting will look, lift your face and say, Like this. When someone mentions the gracefulness of the nightsky, climb up on the roof and dance and say, Like this. If anyone wants to know what "spirit" is, or what &q...

The Friends Face...
THE FRIEND’S FACE IS OUR MECCA Love is minister to us, our flock is the inmost soul, The Friend's face is our Mecca, our prayers are eternal. When the Friend's face came in sight, duality was routed, And religious laws were all cast outside of the portal. The soul makes its obeisance at the altar o...

Who is at my door ?
Who is at my door? He said, "Who is at my door?" I said, "Your humble servant." He said, "What business do you have?" I said, "To greet you, 0 Lord." He said, "How long will you journey on?" I said, "Until you stop me." He said, "How l...

I share the idea that...
Tchocolat, I agree with some of your thoughts. I share the idea that suicide is not a denial of the will-to-live, because it is not a rejection of personal well-being but is only a rejection of suffering. Also, suicide does not reject life itself, but only rejects the conditions under which life is ...

Your love...
YOUR LOVE HAS WRESTED ME AWAY Your love has wrested me away from me, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave Day and night I burn, gripped by agony, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave I find no great joy being alive, If I cease to exist, I would not grieve, The only solace I have i...

If one day...
SUICIDE
I must die without telling anyone.
A drop of blood must be on one corner of my mouth.
Those who don't know me
Will say,
-"No doubt he loved somebody.''
Those who know me,
-"Good for him. Poor man, he suffered a lot.''
But the true reason must be none of that.

ALL OF A SUDDEN Everything happened all of a sudden. All of a sudden daylight beat down on the earth; There was the sky all of a sudden; All of a sudden steam began to rise from the soil. There were tendrils all of a sudden, buds all of a sudden. And there were fruits all of a sudden. All of a sudd...
