________________ can not be heard with the physical ears, but only with the inner spiritual ears. Just as we call out to a dog and he listens to us and comes to us, so also God calls out to us in the form of celestial sounds, and we also are drawn to God. We will listen to the Divine call and behold the glory of God. There is no doubt. After seeing the pure form of God, we will become pure, just as God is pure. Through this journey and experience all our suffering will end. We should strive just as the Prophet Muhammad did, and meditate and traverse tl ey within. In this way, our human body and our human birth is worth living. A Sufi fakir, Yunus Emre has written: We entered the house of realization, we witnessed the body. The whirling skies, the many-layered earth, the seventy-thousand veils, we found in the body. The night and the day, the planets, the words inscribed on the Holy Tablets, the hill that Moses climbed, the Temple, and Israel's trumpet, we observed in the body. Torah, Psalms, Gospel, Koran--what these books have to say, we found in the body. Everybody says these words of Yunus are true. Truth is wherever you want it. We found it all within the body." 260
