The Mystical Heritage of the Children of Abraham: Jewish Kabbalah, Christian Mysticism, Islamic Sufism

"The universal mystical spirituality of the children of Abraham is a robust, precious, and little known heritage upon which the fabric of the Judaic, Christian, Islamic, and perhaps even the Tantric religions are woven. Within the context of Rabbinical Judaism, this mystical tradition has come to be known as the Jewish Kabbalah, and in Islam, as Sufism (Arabic tasawwuf). The Christian Cabala emerged from the mystical side of Christianity, which developed as a parallel tradition to Pauline dogma as it diverged and became estranged from its Judaic roots. The Christian Cabala evolved as a way to harmonize Jewish kabbalistic doctrines with Christian theology. The precise usage of the word Qabalah to denote the ideas and practices of the  esoteric teachings and the secrets of the Torah emerged from the circle of Yitza�aq the Blind (1200 CE), and was used in the same context by Eleazar of Worms (beginning of the thirteenth century)... The Tantric tradition is one of the most poorly unde

Haram aur dair ke katbey wo dekhey - �Seemab� Akbarabadi

Haram aur dair ke katbey wo dekhey jis ko fursat hai, Yahaan hadd-e-nazar tak sirf unwaan-e-muhabbat hai;  Parastaar-e-muhabbat ki muhabbat hi shariyat hai, Kisi ko yaad kar ke aah kar lenaa ibaadat hai; Ho ek kiradaar tum bhi merey mamool-e-muhabbat ka, Mujhe tumse nahin apni muhabbat se muhabbat hai; Wo kya sajda ? rahe ehsaas jismein sar uthaane ka, Ibaadat aur ba-qaid-e-hosh tauheen-e-ibaadat hai;  Meri dewaangi pe hosh waale bahas farmaaein, Magar pahle unhein deewana ban�ne ki zaroorat hai;  Maqaam-e-ishq ko har aadmi �seemab� kya samjhe, Ye hai ek martabaa, jo maawara-e-aadmiyat hai..!!! ~ Hazrat �Seemab� Akbarabadi Sahab
