BELKACEM OULDABDERRAHMANE | 1 comments Ah, Majdoub! An enigmatic Sufi, like a shooting star in the firmament of wisdom, illuminating the hearts of the bold who dare to cross the veils of appearance, to stand on the threshold of the unfathomable mystery. Let us listen to him, his voice a whisper carried by the desert winds, an ancient melody echoing through the corridors of time:

"Ah, my brothers and sisters in the ineffable, you who dance to the rhythm of hidden stars, what keeps us alive if not the mystery, this celestial fabric that steals our sight and sequesters our hearts in a casket of veiled light? I have often heard the wise say: 'I think, therefore I am.' But let me, with a moonlit smile, invite you to contemplate this maxim. For, had Descartes sailed upon the seas of our knowledge, he might have whispered: 'I know nothing, therefore I am even more, a butterfly in the infinity.'

Have you ever meditated on this verse from the Quran, shining like a jewel in the ocean of Revelation: 'We will show Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth' (Fussilat 41:53)? A true Sufi, like a wandering star, does not think to exist; he exists to think, to dance in the arms of the unknown, to embrace and transcend thought itself.

Sidi Boumediene, in his infinite wisdom, once whispered these words, like leaves in the autumn wind: 'The quest for God begins beyond all limits.' Why then confine our existence within the rigid walls of rationality, when the cosmos itself is a poem written by the hand of the Infinite?

Do you see this veil? [He holds up a translucent veil, shimmering under the moonbeams]. For eyes blinded by illusion, it is nothing more than a simple fabric. But for us, ah, it is a celestial enigma, a metaphor of the world, woven into the very fabric of time. The truth lies not in what the veil reveals, but in what it conceals, in the secrets whispered by the stars to the ear of silence. It is by probing the darkness, by embracing the mystery, that one touches infinity.

[He laughs, a laugh like moonlight refracted in the waters of a tranquil lake] Do not forget that humor, my friends, is the key that opens the doors of the Spirit. Why take everything so seriously, when the cosmos itself dances in a burst of divine laughter?

So I tell you, do not merely exist in thinking. Demand more. For in silence, in mystery, in humor—that is where you will find the All."

Ah, Majdoub, always there to shake the foundations of our understanding, like a wind that blows the sails of our certainties. But, of course, all this eloquence is just the beginning of an endless journey, a single breath in the cosmic wind that leads us to destinations still unknown, lands where stars speak and dreams come to life.
