Sharafuddin Maneri
This passage was quite long, but it had a lot of in site as to sharafuddins Maneri belief as to how a person worships God. He talked about “there is neither old nor new: everything is nothing, nothing at all. Yet he is what he is.” I think he is saying God has always been here and there has always been a God. Man start as nothing and they turn into nothing, so how can we measure up? We can’t; the only thing we can do is have faith in God and worship him. “When you lose yourself in God, you proclaim the divine unity. Lose the sense of being lost –that is complete detachment”. Not until a person lets go, I mean really lets go can they truly understand how grate God is. Nor can they even begin to understand anything……

Ooh, really good insight. I liked your statement, "Man start as nothing and they turn into nothing, so how can we measure up?" It really hits the nail on the head. I do agree with that statement, and I like the idea of letting go. How can we know God if we are holding on to our worldly desires?
