“You
could have been given wealth or a Sultanate if you had wished. But yours
was the most sacred of all desires. Go and you will be rewarded with the
Sultanate of hearts!”
Under
Soltan Sanjar’s patronage, Enweri the Poet became the most famous poet
of all Seljuk Türkmens, Arabs and Persians. He is deemed to be one of
the three poets who followed the way of the Prophet.
There
is a myriad of anecdotes and stories about mothers. Man can understand
that the most miraculous thing in the world is the mother, although he
does not necessarily understand everything. He elevates the status of
the mother with wise sayings.
Once
there was a couple in love. The girl wished to learn how much her
beloved loved her:
“Tear
apart your mother’s chest and bring her heart to me, if you really
love me,” she said.
The
girl’s beloved was mad about the girl and he tore apart his mother’s
chest and took the bloody heart, which was still beating, in his hands.
He ran to the girl’s house. A stone on the way tripped him and he fell
down. At that moment his mother’s heart in his hands gained the power
to speak and said:
“O
my dear, you haven’t hurt yourself, have you?”
This
is a mother. No matter what happens, she feels and lives for her child
with such love, compassion, attachment and dedication that it can never
ever be given up. After a long and painful delivery, between life and
death, every mother gives birth to her child in difficulty.
Once,
a mother was dying during delivery. The physicians resuscitated the baby
and the baby uttered a very loud cry. By
