with all the plants, trees and creation? We are different from those people who adopted the sufi way.

Two types of power are granted to man for survival. A man spends all his efforts on worldly affairs in the first half of his life, or his youth. He establishes a family, receives training to provide his daily needs; renders services to people. Thus, he shows himself to the world at large. But when he grows older, and he thinks more about life he starts understanding that he was not created for this world with its limitations of time and space. He starts to grasp otherworldly realities. As Magtymguly says “There is a period of transition from one era to another.” In this period, he perseveres and expresses regrets by saying: two poems again-

You ploughed the earth, you did indeed,

And you reaped benefits thereafter.

You’ve reached forty years of age.

Mature, you’ve become a man of wisdom.

Mind grows to completion when one’s forty

So holds it for the mankind

And the things done in youth seem strange to man

After he passes forty and becomes mature in mind.

Then repent for them and follow a spiritual guide.

All Türkmen poets express similar philosophies.
