LIVING IN PURITY

As a human being, it is not easy to become a man with no prejudice, no hard feeling or even no anger.
Long time ago, I knew and read about Sufism poetry by Rumi, it was wonderful and touching. And then, I read more about Sufism.

This is what I get about the meaning of Sufism :
In Islamic context, Sufism is about the purification of the 'heart', quality improvement of our character and behavior.
Though some says that Sufism was never been heard since the lifetime of Prophet Mohammed, but the essence of Sufism is definetely what the Prophet Mohammed taught us to.

Although, (still) I try to be a better person, but don't want to declared myself to become a sufist.
In my Religion, Islam, we are taught to pray 5 times, Giving, Qiyamul'lail, Reading Qur'an, etc..

I don't speak about one's experience, this is my own experience,
Praying 5 times lead me to remember God in every single things I do
Giving is teaching me to sincere
Qiyamul'lail or praying at the end of night keeping me away from being restless
Those taughts is completely true and become a secret to a wonderful feeling that God given me now.

And so, I'm still a human being who just try to be a better person but sometimes still find it difficult to shun the anger...
