My dear
You are a soul of extreme beauty and a mind of charm
And this charm, this beauty, is not your accomplishment
Allah has created you this way
Despair and anxious thoughts are part of the path
When a traveler sets out on a journey, they must face storms, dust, and fatigue
The true traveler is the one who keeps moving towards the destination
Their purpose is nothing but the destination
And because the destination does not appear before them, they keep walking in every condition
I am certain that you will come out of these troubling thoughts
which arise for everyone on this path
You have made me your teacher
And I too have accepted you as the light of my eyes
It is my duty to keep making you aware of the mazes of the path
It is your duty to accept nothing, neither great nor small, nor temporary except the destination
When the destination is reached, everything else bows before the one who has arrived
Whenever your smiling, cheerful face comes to mind in a state of tension
I become restless
Because I know that only those who remain happy can become friends of Allah
Those who remain unhappy are not made Allah’s friends.
To be continued……
