A Yogi Sufi Saint

By Wael Al Sayegh

A Yogi Sufi Saint looked at me from a distance
Too far for his words to be heard by my ears

His presence captured, with great love and kindness, my full attention.

I could hear his words emanating from his heart to mine. He asked

Till when will you continue to suffer?
Till when will the twisting’s and turnings of your conditioned, patterned, commanding and blaming self, suffocate you?

Till when will you deny the stillness that is your witnesses inheritance?

till when?
