Be Truly Present

In the Sufi way we talk about our relationship with God — that deep awareness and connection that goes beyond just belief, and what it means to be truly present and in awe of His divine presence. If you look closely, similar teachings appear in other faiths too. For example, in the Bible, Matthew 6:33 says, “Put God first in your life and try to do what is right, and God will take care of everything else you need.” So, the message is universal: put God at the centre of your life. But the problem is, for most of us, God becomes secondary. We say we’re striving toward the eternal, but our focus gets scattered. We need to realign, to remember what truly matters. Many people wait for a saviour, someone to come and fix everything. But if you’re waiting for someone else to save you, what’s your purpose in this life? Why were you created? We need to look at our own experiences, reflecting on them. Because desire, though it looks like freedom, often becomes a cage. The desire to have more, to be more — it traps us, while deluding us to feel like we’re flying free.
