... How does part of the world leave the world?
... How can wetness leave water?
... Don't try to put out a fire by throwing on
... more fire. Don't wash a wound with blood.
... No matter how fast you run, your shadow
... more than keeps up. Sometimes it's in front.
... Only full, overhead Sun diminishes your shadow.
... But that shadow has been serving you.
... What hurts you blesses you.
... Darkness is your candle.
... Your boundaries are your quest.
... I can explain this, but it would break
... the glass cover on your heart,
... and there's no fixing that.
... You must have shadow and light source both.
... Listen, and lay your head under the tree of awe.
... When, from that tree, feathers and wings
... sprout on your soul, be quieter than a dove.
... Don't open your mouth for even a cooooo.
How about opening it up to Sikhs, period..not just
those from Persia, like Rumi?
Surprisingly, Kabir was from India...we can't leave him out!
And Guru Nanak from Pakistan!
Like Kabir's
The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it:
The moon is within me, and so is the sun.
The unstruck drum of Eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf ears cannot hear it.
So long as man clamors for the I and the Mine, his works are as naught:
When all love of the I and the Mine is dead, then the work of the Lord is done.
Or Guru Nanak's
Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion
cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.
I have learned so much from God
I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Buddhist,
a Muslim, a Jew.
The Truth has shared so much of itself with me,
that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel or even pure Soul.
Love has befriended Hafiz so completely ...
and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.

... You already have... and it pleases me.
... Lovely contributions, Miss Hepburn, from Kabir, Guru Nanak, and Hafiz (more often written as "Hafez"). Were you aware that the term "Hafiz" is also used by Muslims for those who completely memorize the Qur'an?

Well, Mr. Glu, I say affectionately, I would argue that point 'more often'....
since every single book I have on Hafiz says 'Hafiz' !!! Lol...
Next thing ya know we will be discussing Meerbai or Miribai? !!
Tulsidas, Tulsi, Tulasai or Tulasidas!
We are a pair!
Oh how I want to post a Tulsidas poem...but he is Hindu....so much like Kabir...the unstruck
music, the moon seen within...!
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.
'You dance secretly inside my heart, where no one else can see.'
