How we get rid of all our worries in the 25th hour?

Have you ever lived at the 25th hour?

I love living in the 25th hour.

If you’re wondering what time this is, let me describe it:

“Stop inside of a crowd, move to a place where you can see the crowd. And voila, here’s your 25th hour..’’

Have you ever tried the 25th hour?

Did you go out from all the hustle and bustle and look into it from outside ?

Did you even go out of your own and watch yourself ? Your mind ?

The emotions and thoughts of the mind ? Behind the emotions and thoughts ? Where they came from and who they belonged to ? Do you think the emotions are in your heart? The mind is the source of all emotions that capture us. When the mind relaxes, we hear the sound of the heart and the love which is hidden there.

Everything starts with observing..

And when we develop the ability to observe, we begin to see the truth and the screen of fog begins to disintegrate.

You might think how hard it can be?

You can say, ‘’I see everyone, every detail’’

But you need to stand somewhere else for that observation. It’s like a three-dimensional person staring at the two-dimensional world. It is nothing but a mind that reflects itself in a daily rush. The mind is engaged in creating a character for the world to understand, teach and adapt. It works all the time with comparisons.

He compares himself with others, with the father, mother, brother, sister and friend, sometimes even with a stranger. The difference between the image that he wants to be and the person he really is, stresses him.

Who’s the judge? Who is the prisoner?

Sometimes we can not stand, we can not be anything. We stop trying and deliver ourselves to the dark side. Sometimes evil establishes an empire upon us. You can’t look at life from the good side anymore.

At the times like that, do it: ‘’Leave’’

That day we’ll understand: “Beauty doesn’t really look like the truth. Like a dream, like a fairytale, it actually looks bitter. However, life is flawed. The deficiency makes the human real. I’m deficient, I accept that..’’

But that means also, I’m the truth, I’m real.

Therefore, once touch the people with whom you interact with, feel with them, look into their eyes, do something for them. Believe me, you will see a different world, outside of this fictional one and exactly there ladies and gentlemen, when you see their vulnerable hearts, you’ll understand that everything about what you thought as great, is actually not great at all and you will start to learn about yourself, for the first time..

‘’..Come, let us all be friends for once, Let us make life easy on us, Let us be lovers and loved ones, The earth shall be left to no one.

To you, what Yunus says is clear, Its meaning is in your heart’s ear: We should all live the good life here, Because nobody will live on.’’

-Yunus Emre- (Turkish Sufi and Poet)
