Nacer Khemir
Tunisian filmmaker, writer, and scholar Nacer Khemir creates deeply spiritual, poetic works that explore Sufi wisdom and the soul‘s timeless journey.
Nacer Khemir is a celebrated Tunisian filmmaker, writer, and scholar whose art delves into the depths of Sufi philosophy and desert mysticism. His storytelling, both cinematic and literary, carries a lyrical quality that invites viewers and readers alike to pause, reflect, and experience the quiet mysteries of the human soul.
Through films like Bab'Aziz – The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul, Khemir crafts meditative journeys set against the vastness of the desert, where every moment is imbued with symbolism and spiritual insight. His works transcend simple narratives, acting instead as portals to inner exploration, gentle reminders of love, patience, and the interconnectedness of all life.
With a profound respect for tradition and an eye toward universal truths, Khemir’s creations offer timeless wisdom for seekers in a fast-paced world, making him a treasured voice in contemporary spiritual cinema and literature.
When our seven chakras are fully activated and we operate in the super-conscious realms, physical body is equal to sukhsma (subtle). When cosmic energy is fully activate in our system any kind of artificial energy, such as medicines or machines, will not work or will just get nullified.
One who becomes a victim to doubt cannot hope to enjoy either this world or the next. Random discussions with any raw intellect harboring its own preconceived concepts, or ideas should be avoided at all costs. Thereby we can lose the saadhana of a whole lifetime So says the lord—“samsayatma vinashyati” or the doubting soul ruined. Do not do that with spirituality, for it is a great sin.
[…] if at all any occasion arises to accept any service from anybody, make it a strong point to repay it with a sense of gratitude, as early as possible, either back to him or to anybody badly in need. This way you will be lighter to the core, when you leave this mortal existence.
When someone accepts a favour from another, the former will be indebted to the latter, until the debt is repaid this way or that way, in this birth or the following ones. The salt that was eaten must be coughed off by any means. So if you have enjoyed the favours of others, in any way in any form, and t any time, remember the dictum: you cannot escape from paying it back. Either pay it back in the same life in the same manner received, or offer the same type, kind, quantum, or quality of favour to a needy person. It is possible that one may have used the favour as capital and earned some profit, but lost the capital later—then one must de ready to pay it back in some other form. Only then will be the one who accepted the favour be relieved of the debt, in the books of the Almighty.
A child must be thought of an innocence personified. His naiveté should never be mistaken for mental deficiency, and this is true whatever creed, breed, or country the child belongs to. Children represent the purity of the soul itself.
If there is the expectation of a remarkable change or transformation to happen in anyone‘s life, for it to manifest, there must exist some unknown inspiration behind bringing up the latent karma inside. If the sown-in seeds of spirituality are unable to sprout in spite of birth and life in a spiritual background, it means that the seeds were sprinkled in a barren land in hostile conditions.
Son, the path of spiritualism is not so easy. Yet you have to proceed as you are destined for it. Proceed! Do not look back. Beware of the worldly people. They are there only for their selfish motives. They will come to you to spoil your accumulated energy for their selfishness. Do not entertain such people near you. With a mask of love and affection, they will be around you. Do not encourage them. Be alone. One day, when you are “full of energy” go back to them and serve them. Do not believe the mundane people. They are selfish.
An atom of our existence (consciousness) can be sent anywhere with the thought waves. Once it reaches the destination with the Sankalpa, it will take a form or manifest. I will teach you the technique of “Doora Gamanam”. It is pure science. If you fully concentrate, you can take the thought waves to another destination. This should be done with strong Sankalpa and you can take out an atom and order it to go with your thought waves and manifest at the destination.
