A supplication by the Shaykh
Tauba, ya Rabbi, Tauba ya Rabbi, Tauba, Astaghfirullah. Ya Rabbi, shukr. Ya Rabbi Shukr. Ya Rabbi shukr. A 'udhu bil-Lahi rnin ash-Shaytani -r-rajim; bismillahi-r-Rahman-r-Rahim,
Oh our Lord, we are asking Your protection. We are weak servants and we are belonging to You. We are declaring that You are our Lord, You are our Creator. You are giving our provisions. You are granting to ourselves - everything. You never gave to any other creature what You, Most High, granted to us.
And we are sinners.
Tauba, ya Rabbi, Tauba, ya Rabbi, Tauba, Astagfirullah.
Asking forgiveness, and Your Blessings.
We are coming here from east and west. You are sending us to be here, and to hear and to listen and to obey and to follow, and to reach and to find, and to taste; and to be Your Servants! What You are asking must be, - what You are saying must be obeyed. Your orders must be obeyed. Everyone must be Your obedient servants. Oh our Lord, You are the Lord Most High, the Lord of Heavens, the Lord of Earth, the Lord of dunya, the Lord of Here and Hereafter.
You are not happy with our tasteless actions. No doubt You are unhappy, with what we are doing.
But You Most High, You Most Powerful, You, our Lord, what You like to be must be. What You order must be obeyed.
And we are weak servants. Instead of riding on our egos, our egos are riding on us.
We are complaining, complaining to Your Divine Presence, saying "Oh our Lord, save us from the hands of our ?cruel egos. We are not happy with our egos; we are happy with You, oh Lord." You Most High, You Most giving Favours. You - Endless Favours Oceans for You. You may give what you are asking more and more and more. Your Endless Favour Oceans never getting less, Your Endless Blessing Oceans never getting to be less. You are giving endlessly, but nothing going to be lessened from Your Endless Mercy Oceans, from Your Endless Blessing Oceans, Your Endless Light Oceans, Your Endless Favour oceans, - never getting less. Oh Allah, Oh Allah, Oh Allah, Unlimited! Oceans..! Endless Oceans!
{change of tone as Maulana addresses murids} … Never getting less – giving, giving, giving, giving – but never getting less by even the smallest amount. Endless – Beyond limits, never getting less. If in limits, getting less – unlimited never getting less.
Oh Allah, Oh Allah , OH Allah, Allah Unlimited Oceans ! Endless OCEANS!
.......
You must be happy that you have been chosen, and you have been granted the beginning of an understanding of Endless Oceans.
