Ramadan: A Month to Refuel Spiritually

📆 Date: 1403/01/09 – 17 Ramadan 1445
📌 Meshkat-e Noor session
👤 Lecture by Master Ali Saei

📝 Some points discussed in the session:
🌼 All our duties are openings that propel us towards God’s good pleasure.
🌼 Ramadan means Allah, and the month of Ramadan is the month of God.
🌼 The month of God means the month of fasting, the month of Islam, the month of purification. In this month, after removing the dust, we must make our very being pure gold.
🌼 Ramadan is the month of rising up and striving in servitude to God.
🌼 What does fasting mean?
🌼 The month of fasting is a station of servitude to God: a month of turning away from all but God, of ceasing to be occupied with anything other than God, of stopping everything besides God. Whatever is within us must be stilled, so that only God’s call may rise from our souls.
🌼 We are servants of God, not servants of the ego. Our appetites must cease to pursue anything other than God.
🌼 If we occupy ourselves with anything other than God, we have not attained true fasting.
🌼 Fasting is a tremendous power within us.
🌼 Breaking the fast of the heart is forbidden.
🌼 This month, we must come to believe that God is enough for us.
🌼 Every beauty and every pleasure comes by God’s will; every blessing comes by God’s will.
🌼 How should we come to the divine table? Whoever comes to the divine table must come on an empty stomach. We should clothe ourselves in the garment of piety and attend God’s feast wearing it; this garment will awaken our appetite for servitude.
🌼 Beware of destroying our appetite with the foods of this world.
🌼 Ramadan is a checkpoint for our servitude: a month of revolution in our tastes, of sublime order, and of transformation in our efforts.
🌼 We inhabit many worlds. Ramadan does not repeat itself; God is, at every moment, engaged in a new affair.
🌼 This month has come to us with love, opening its arms to us.
🌼 The divine month has come to convey God’s message to us: God has not forgotten us.
🌼 The human being must become a tree rooted in the divine.
🌼 The believer has four spirits: the spirit of faith, through which one attains reverent fear of God; the spirit of strength, through which one gains the power to obey God; the spirit of desire, which stirs the appetite for obedience to God; and the spirit of movement, through which one walks among people.
🌼 Ramadan is the month of revolution in these four spirits.
