scraft120 rated 3 months ago- From the page: "God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don't let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand. Rainer Maria Rilke"

- photo by Michael Tarasov Your love has wrested me away from me, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave. Day and night I burn, gripped by agony, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave. I find no great joy in being alive, If I cease to exist, I would not grieve, The only solace I have is your love, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave. Lovers yearn for you, but your love slays them, At the bottom of the sea it lays them, It has God's images-it displays them; You're the one I need, you're the one I crave. Let me drink the wine of love sip by sip, Like Mecnun, live in the hills in hardship, Day and night, care for you holds me in its grip, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave. Even if, at the end, they make me die And scatter my ashes up to the shy, My pit would break into this outcry: You're the one I need, you're the one I crave. "Yunus Emre the mystic" is my name, Each passing day fans and rouses my flame, What I desire in both worlds is the same: You're the one I need, you're the one I crave. Yunus Emre

- From the page: "The morning wind spreads its fresh smell. We must get up and take that in, that wind that lets us live. Breathe before it's gone." (Rumi)

- In love, nothing exists between heart and heart. Speech is born out of longing, True description from the real taste. The one who tastes, knows; the one who explains, lies. How can you describe the true form of Something In whose presence you are blotted out? And in whose being you still exist? And who lives as a sign for your journey? Rabia al-Adawiyya

- Wahiduddin Richard Shelquist is a wonderful man and his site is full of Spiritual Wisdom from many sources. The Sufi Poetry presented here is but a small part of it, for Wahiduddin...in true Sufi style...draws your attention to key Christian, Hindu and Buddhist wisdom as well. This is a must visit regularly kind of site, and I urge all of you to go as soon as you can. Philip PJA64X "Strive to discover the mystery before life is taken from you. If while living you fail to find yourself, to know yourself, how will you be able to understand the secret of your existence when you die?" Farid ud Din Attar (1119 - 1230?) "Who is man? The reflection of the Eternal Light. What is the world? A wave on the Everlasting Sea. How could the reflection be cut off from the Light? How could the wave be separate from the Sea? Know that this reflection and this wave are that very Light and Sea." Jami (1414-92) "The Jesus of your spirit is inside you now. Ask that one for help, but don't ask for body-things... Don't ask Moses for provisions that you can get from Pharaoh. Don't worry so much about livelihood. Your livelihood will turn out as it should. Be constantly occupied instead with listening to God." Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-73)

- Three by the master, Ibnu 'Arabiyy O Marvel! a garden amidst the flames. My heart has become capable of every form: it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks, and a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Kaa'ba, and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Quran. I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love's camels take, that is my religion and my faith. ~~ All that is left to us by tradition is mere words. It is up to us to find out what they mean. ~~ Were it not for the excess of your talking and the turmoil in your hearts, you would see what I see and hear what I hear!
