he physical and the mental, upstairs and downstairs have always been confused.
During the first minutes one cannot be aware of what is going on at downstairs.
Now, we are dealing with another position...
We are living  in a very intimate manner with a concept which is being repeated by every individual from all classes of the society as if they have nothing else to deal with. By the way, this is a concept  which can create a sin even greater than adultery.
This is the  whisper (the gossip)...
There are  plenty of people who never stop following the subjects that has nothing to do with him and who are perceiving this as the reality of life.
However, we can never  admit that we are gossipping maybe because we are respectable men!...
The reason why I have put this subject among the popular subjects of our day was because of  a sincere message that I have received from a friend.  Unfortunately, humanity is not sensitive to this subject at all.

He could say to someone  whom he was talking, whom he had never met or shook  hands with;  in the internet ‘’I am praying for you’’ despite all the differences instead of  the traditional cursing.  Most probably, he could preserve his own self/essence at the point where people got attached to the life, where they reacted fiercely to the  events and  who have never stopped running after  the hook of the  questions.

He could still preserve his  extraordinary identity  among the people who behave towards each other in such  a way which a normal person would not do towards the animals.

When Omar Khayyam’s verses had been sent to him via the internet, he was in need of  replying back and said ‘’I do not know  the one who has sent this message and I cannot perceive his science’’. He has  also added that  the person who had sent this message was trying to pull him to a certain direction.

In order not to make things more difficult for him,  I did not want to go into the depths of  Omar Khayyam and  I only thanked him for his sensitive and polite behaviour.
Hearing the cries of  mysticism coming from the essence had really made me comfortable.
Who will be receiving the message is certain.

So, there  were people and places where the whispers and the gossips had not become concrete symbols.
