_________ ~~~~~~~ THE LIGHT

"I will not easily let go of the pain I bear for you;
I will not turn away from my beloved until I give up my life.

I carry a pain from my beloved as a keepsake,
A pain I would not trade for a hundred thousand cures...

I am but a speck, and you are a sun of radiant beauty;
I am sick with grief, and you are my very remedy.

Though I have neither wings nor feathers, I fly after you;
I have become like iron, and you are the magnet drawing me to you.

One must choose sorrow over all else,
And one must cut oneself free from the well of desire."

- Rumi

"My physician said there was no cure

for the pain of separation.

He was wrong—

I killed the self within me

and found the cure."

- Vahshi Bafghi

...would we realise our suffering, without a little
amount or the presence of love and light?

We should embrace our awareness -- without
feeling the need of making judgement....

"You whom the moon and Jupiter envy,

You are with me, yet hidden like a fairy,

Gently, gently, you draw me along—

but tell me, where are you taking me?

Wherever you go, you are with me,

you who are the light of both my eyes.

If you wish, draw me into your rapture;

and if you wish, carry me into the dissolution of self."

- Rumi

🍃 Best wishes on the anniversary of Rumi’s birth.🍃

A masterpiece by a unique artist, Michael.

It's both happy as a blissful spirit, and "...." as a MOON behind the clouds of illusion.

Crazy

When the Lord sends you his massengers to fill you up with divine Love and Light, why caring about people who bother you... people who ate lost in their ego and are not willing to rescue themselves?

Let them enjoy the Dark, and focus on the worthy Love that God sends you every single second through HIS Angels on the Earth...

"You are my Life, my whole World—what would I do with earthly life and world?

You are the treasure of my soul—why would I care for profit or loss?

I have turned away from all creation, from all I have broken free;

Neither hidden nor revealed am I—what would I do with space and time?"

"My soul is he—do not strike him!

My very self is he—do not drive him away!

He is my bread and water; No garden of hope can compare with his.

His is the garden, he is the flowing stream; The redness of his apples, the greenness of his willows.

He is ever-present, he is perfectly balanced; He is the candle of the heart—bring him forth!"

-Rumi

"All night, I live in hope that the morning breeze, Bearing news from those I love, may caress the familiar soul.

What a resurrection you have brought about, my beloved, among those who love you! My heart and soul are sacrificed for your face—show us your radiant beauty."

_Hafez

Happy the anniversary of Hafez! 🍷

" O weary travelers, what do you seek of him in this cold dusk,

What news of him do you hope to find?

He is the sun’s flame, already fled beyond your reach;

You chase him in vain, as he slips away from sight."

The statement "be yourself and express your feelings clearly" does not always work, especially if we know that we are not good at social communications.
We should learn when to keep our mouth shut. Expressing our feelings and thought recklessly and without hesitation will sometimes bring about unpleasant and heartbreaking consequences.

However, everything in life happens for a purpose and will happen again and again until we are able to put what we learned into practice.

STAY SILENT

Well,... first: Speak exactly and formulate for 'you'
:
I have to learn.... I should sometimes keep my mouth....
:
DO NOT MAKE JUDGEMENT
(also not about yourself)

"Who is it that has given their heart and sits at ease,

Believing there is time yet, that delay is still possible?

Tell them not to drive in the pegs, for the tent must soon be taken down;

Tell them not to unpack their belongings, for the time to depart is at hand."

_Sa'adi

It seems I’ve been unintentionally imitating a writing style. I think love is to blame for that. I’ll change my approach.

Dancing with the devil is not so sweet sometimes, for ordinary people I mean.

Good for Masters...

"Within the circle of our coming and going,

Neither beginning nor end can be found.

No one has ever spoken a moment of truth about this mystery,

From where does this coming begin,

and where does this going lead?"

_ Khayyam

"The mystics who have drunk from the cup of Truth

Have learned the secrets, yet kept them veiled.

Whoever was taught the mysteries of this path,

Was sealed with a stamp, and their mouth sewn shut."

_ Rumi

a mixture of cold weather and fire in the fireplace

a mixture of rain and the music

a dark room
a vivid presence

a new level of feeling

a step toward Transcendence ...
