BE PRESENT IN EVERY MOMENT – LIFE LESSON FROM MOINUDDIN CHISHTI (HB)

Moinuddin Hasan Chishti
(1136?1235) was a beloved Sufi saint, philosopher and spiritual teacher who
founded the famous order of Sufism in the subcontinent. Also known as the
founder of the Sufi movement in India, Chishti introduced the syncretic
element to Indian culture. He was the first Islamic mystic in India who
encouraged the use of music as ?sama? along with prayers and meditation to
establish communion with god. Due to his popularity with Hindus as well as
Muslims and the belief that he can help solve all problems, his shrine in
Ajmer, Rajasthan, is visited by thousands every day. In his discourses
Chishti preached about loving all our fellow creatures, irrespective of
religion and status. His key teachings include charity and compassion for the
poor and helpless, leading a pure life of devotion to the divine and
achieving oneness with god in the service of his creations. Edited by babble
parveen, the teachings in ?be present in every moment? are simple, timeless
lessons from Chishti that encourage one to live every moment of one?s life
fully and selflessly.
