Secrets of the Love ( by Kahlil Gibran)

“Secrets Of The Heart” is an attractive title. Not only the title, but also the content is wonderful. It takes you through your heart, through the soul, and gives you a very very especial feeling which you wouldn’t like to lose. You will really live it and feel it. It’s the experience itself…
It consists of different stories but with the same motif and the same feeling. Among the stories one of them named “John The Madman” is very familiar to us. It exactly shows the terrible differences of the true religions and what dominant systems pretend to be the religion. They do what they want under the name of the religion and that means under the name of what God says. It clearly shows the rich priests of churches in front of the poor ordinary people. They live luxurious lives and just accumulate wealth while others are suffering poverty. They are like thorns growing among flowers and not letting them grow up… And this is where the great character of Islam “Imam Ali” shows itself to our minds. How he lived was the same way as others. No luxurious life, No wealth but an ordinary simple life.
It properly shows that every person can read his holy book and understand it depending on his heart and there is no limitation for reading it. Every person can understand and fill God as much as his heart lets him, but that’s ok. For God there is no limitation to fill him…
It is suitable to call it SECRETS OF HEART since it describes some especial secrets. Secrets of heart that lets you communicate with your God, feel him and talk to him. What is needed is just your light HEART and nothing else. No high education, no wealth, no gold… But a Heart full of love and light…
Without love nothing will improve. I’m not talking about just the divine love but any other love. Anything you want to do require your love for it, anything… No matter you are wealthy or not, no matter you live in a palace or not but you must have love to live alive…And these small but valuable loves for anything in our lives are a small drop of that greater love for God. They are a preface to the main text to understand it better and to feel it completely…
If you read this book, you will live it with the bottom of your heart and it will surely sound familiar to you as the problems explained in this book are the problems of all communities with all humans with any religion they believe in, but be careful to not become a ruined flower between apparently these powerful thorns…


Be Careful you Light-Hearted!
