That's truth. Doesnt have to mean it's a negative thing either.

Makes me think of Osho's book, Love, Freedom and Aloneness.

Closely approching my Saturn Return (7th house), I feel that I'm at a Height of aloneness myself. It's nice up here. Quiet, peaceful, breezy...

Not easy to explain your life in a single word....
Anyone want to try?

"Alone i walk, committing no sin, with few wishes"

"upon the mountain i sit alone enjoying all that is around me"

once you realise how cool it is being alone it's not so scary after all, kinda like the dark space under your bed when you're a kid, its scary when it's dark but when the lights on, it's nothing

Hello yogeshmishra,
Yes, Osho speaks alot about the Tao and Masters of many other different religions/non-religions. All I know about Sufism (very little) is what I've read from Osho. He relates some beautiful stories about the great Sufi sages. Enjoy the next phase of your life fully!

Thank you for sharing those quotes, 13anshee!
I too, enjoy my alone time. Maybe a little too much.
(SN in Aries perhaps)

Greetings, Are we speaking of

' Ana-al-Haq'

I am Truth (God/Allah)

spoken by al-Hallaj ?

If so , Rumi`s discourse gives lovely insight to the Sufi`s Heart.


"Take the famous utterance "I am God." Some men reckon it as a great pretension; but "I am God" is in fact a great humility. The man who says "I am the servant of God." asserts that two exist, one himself, and the other God. But he who says "I am God" has naughted himself and cast himself to the winds. he says, "I am God": that is, "I am not, nothing has existence but God, I am a pure non-entity, I am nothing." In this the humility is greater"

--Jalaluddin Rumi. "Discoures of Rumi". Trans. by A.J. Arberry, NY: Samuel Weiser, 1972, p.55


If it does not mean the same, I do thank you for the opportunity to review Rumi and look to hear from you again.

Dear juniperb
Anhalaq has been deciphered tome to time in many ways In Hindu Mythology it Is "Aham Brahmasami" I am the divine flame.Perhaps u know amout Manssur who accused rebellion due to only this word.
