OF YOUR ATTENTION WILL COME
WHEN YOU WILL START SEEING the truth..
Lead me from dreaming to waking. 
Lead me from opacity to clarity.
Lead me from the complicated to the simple. Lead me from the obscure to the obvious. 
Lead me from intention to attention. Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am. 
Lead me from confrontation to wide openness. Lead me to the place I never left, 
Where there is peace, and peace -from the Upanishads- 
Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain..
...inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi!In silence there must be movement, and in motion,
There must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big,
no movement is better than a small
silence is all the movement's mother.
In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger.
In non Movement you should be like a Buddha.

Every now and then..grasshoppers from heaven ..I read this sufi master's words...eghh..too bad he didn't give any method either..that's why is needed a kripto in the world,to save your sorry asses ,indeed..I'll try to comment more when I come back from my vacation ..kiss:)
So I composed this never heard stanza:
Behold..
I am not hot,and neither cold
I am just kripto,on the stove
I speak to you my dear one
As sunshine wants to just have fun
If you believe I'm this or that
You'll miss the point,I'll be upset
I want you free of those illusions
Because I'm you..without the motions
Of cold or hot,still I am you
Just look inside yourself..would you?
Forever bliss you'll find me dear
It's me..beyond the hot/cold fear..
I'm the beginning of the twist
Mother Theresa's punching fist
Behold all of you... grasshoppers
Unless you kripto..I'll creep further.
Thus spokenth the mahayogi..
Kisses.:)

Chapter VI
From Hazrat Ynayat Khan ...taken from Wahiduddin Richard Shelquist's site(Longmont, Colorado)

The secret behind the whole manifestation is vibration;
vibration which may be termed movement. It is the differences
of vibration, which when divided by lines, form planes of
existence, each plane being different in the rhythm of these
vibrations. When we take life as a whole we can draw one
line, the beginning and the end, or spirit and matter, or
God and man. And we shall find that the rhythm which begins
the line is fine and without disturbance, and the rhythm
which is felt at the end of this line is gross and disturbing.
And these two rhythms may be named the life of sensation
and the life of peace.
These are two opposite things. The life of sensation
gives a momentary joy. The life which is the first aspect
of life gives peace and culminates in the everlasting peace.
The joy, however great, is rising and falling. It must have
its reaction. Besides, it depends upon sensation. And what
does sensation depend upon? Sensation depends upon the outer
life. There must be something besides you to cause the sensation.
But peace is independently felt within oneself. It is not
dependent upon the outer sensation. It is something that
belongs to one, something that is one's own self. If one
were to ask someone who lives continually in a kind of excitement
of worldly pleasures, whom Providence has granted all pleasures
imaginable, if that person were asked, 'What do you wish
besides all this that you experience?' He will say, 'To
be left alone.' When madness comes, when he is out of balance,
he will crave for sensation, but when that passion has gone,
what he is longing for in reality is peace. Therefore, there
is no pleasure in the world, however great, no experience,
however interesting, that can give one that satisfaction
which peace alone can give. A sovereign may be happy sitting
on the throne with his crown, with many attendants before
him, but he is only satisfied when he is alone by himself.
All else seems to him nothing. It has no value. The most
precious thing for him is that moment when he is by himself.
I have once seen the Nizam, a great ruler, in all his
grandeur, enjoying the royal splendor all around him, and
then again I saw the same sovereign sitting alone on a little
carpet. It was at that time that he was himself. It is the
same thing with everyone. Delicious dishes, sweet fragrance,
music, all other pleasures of line and color, beauty in
all its aspects, which seem to answer one's life's demands,
fail in the end when compared with that satisfaction which
a soul experiences in itself, which it feels its own property,
its own belonging. Something that one need not seek outside
oneself, that one can find within oneself, and something
which is incomparably greater and more valuable than anything
else in the world. Something which cannot be bought or sold,
something which cannot be robbed by anyone, and something
which is more sacred and holy than religion or prayer. For
all prayer and devotion is to attain to this peace.
A man good and kind, a person most learned and qualified,
strong and powerful, with all these attributes, cannot be
spiritual if his soul has not attained that rhythm, which
is a natural rhythm of its being, a rhythm in which alone
exists life's satisfaction. Peace is not a knowledge, peace
is not a power, peace is not a happiness, but peace is all
these. And besides, peace is productive of happiness. Peace
inspires one with knowledge of the seen and unseen, and
in peace is to be found the divine Presence. It is not the
excited one who conquers in this continual battle of life.
It is the peaceful one who tolerates all, who forgives all,
who understands all, who assimilates all things. The one
who lacks peace, with all his possessions, the property
of this earth or quality of mind, is poor even with both.
He has not got that wealth which may be called divine and
without which man's life is useless. For true life is in
peace, a life which will not be robbed by death. The secret
of mysticism, the mystery of philosophy, all is to be attained
after the attainment of peace. You cannot refuse to recognize
the divine in a person who is a person of peace. It is not
the talkative, it is not the argumentative one, who proves
to be wise. He may have intellect, worldly wisdom, and yet
may not have pure intelligence, which is real wisdom. True
wisdom is to be found in the peaceful, for peacefulness
is the sign of wisdom. It is the peaceful one who is observant.
It is peace that gives him the power to observe keenly.
It is the peaceful one, therefore, who can conceive, for
peace helps him to conceive. It is the peaceful who can
contemplate; one who has no peace cannot contemplate properly.
Therefore, all things pertaining to spiritual progress in
life depend upon peace.
And now the question is what makes one lack peace? The
answer is, love of sensation. A person who is always seeking
to experience life in movement, in activity, in whatever
form, wants more and more of that experience. In the end
he becomes dependent upon the life which is outside, and
so he loses in the end his peace, the peace which is his
real self. When a person says about someone, 'That person
has lost his soul,' the soul is not lost; the soul has lost
its peace. Absorption in the outer life, every moment of
the day and night, thinking and worrying and working and
fighting, struggling along, in the end robs one of one's
soul. Even if one gains as the price of that fighting something
which is outside oneself, someone who is a greater fighter
still will snatch it from our grasp one day.
And if we get excited over them, we shall never be able to solve them. Some think, 'We might wait. Perhaps the conditions will become better. We shall see then what to do.' But when will the conditions become better? They will become still worse! Whether the conditions become better or worse, the first thing is to seek the kingdom of God within ourselves, in which there is our peace. As soon as we have found that, we have found our support, we have found our self. And in spite of all the activity and movement on the surface, we shall be able to keep that peace undisturbed if only we hold it fast by becoming conscious of it.
*kiss to him..added by danny-
To nourish the vital energy, keep watch in silence;In order to subdue the mind, act with non-action.
Of movement and stillness, be aware of their origin;
There is no work to do, much less someone to seek.
The true and constant must respond to phenomena;
Responding to phenomena, you must be unconfused.
When unconfused, the nature will stabilize by itself;
When the nature stabilizes, energy returns by itself.
When energy returns, the elixir crystallizes by itself;
Within the pot, the trigrams of heaven and earth are joined.
Yīn and yáng arise, alternating over and over again;
Every transformation comes like a clap of thunder.White clouds form and come to assemble at the peak;
The sweet nectar sprinkles down Mount Sumeru.
Swallow for yourself this wine of immortality;
You wander so freely—who is able to know you?
Sit and listen to the tune played without strings;
Clearly understand the mechanism of creation.
It comes entirely from these twenty lines;
A true ladder going straight to Heaven.-Daoist text -In silence there must be movement, and in motion,
There must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big,
no movement is better than a small
silence is all the movement's mother.
In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger.
In non Movement you should be like a Buddha.
