Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 RUMI At every instant and from every side, resounds the call of Love: We are going to sky, who wants to come with us? We have gone to heaven, we have been the friends of the angels, And now we will go back there, for there is our country. We are higher than heaven, more noble than the angels: Why not go beyond them? Our goal is the Supreme Majesty. What has the fine pearl to do with the world of dust? Why have you come down here? Take your baggage back. What is this place? Luck is with us, to us is the sacrifice!... Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean--the ocean of the soul. Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean--the ocean of the soul. How could this bird, born from that sea, make his dwelling here? No, we are the pearls from the bosom of the sea, it is there that we dwell: Otherwise how could the wave succeed to the wave that comes from the soul? The wave named 'Am I not your Lord' has come, it has broken the vessel of the body; And when the vessel is broken, the vision comes back, and the union with Him. ..........................RUMI Become the Treasure..... by Lynette {a repost of a favorite of mine} My love upon the midnight waters Bathing in perfect unionWithin the waters of peace.Flowing over my darkened skin of delightDetailed with darkest desire, light me insideThe embrace of your righteousness. My truth unfolding in each wave~ Movement of sand sweeping away The debris in my mind.Engulfing me in glorious reunionWith my beloved one~ Awareness ripples of joy fill my essence.As I breathe the water of bliss,Drowning in its protective folds of truth,I find my home on the sandy bottom of heaven. Earth's treasure trove emptied of its gold, Replaced with gems of brightness divine.Beauty within sparkle and shine. I am captured in its brightness of featuresOf the motion of nothingness~ I am nothing.Nothing beyond what you make of me. Dissolving division, becomes oneness Within the break of the wavesUpon the rock shaven shores of eternity.Long lasting surf of awareness, Forever in its love of flowing inwards to out,I am the motion of all that is.Welcome me within your embrace, Dearest one of desire. My love knows only nothingness.Nothing teases the imaginationLike tastes of delighted delicacies. Tempting, tempting treasures of gold,To disappear upon the touch of the light. Being shed to reveal gems of truth instead. Welcome to the bottom of the beginning.Emerging flow of oneness~Becoming you, in me, of all our desires. Destroying our self-imposed separation. Choose to know nothing of the mind. It deceives the flight of fancy. And becomes a stumbling block of illusion.Become the dreams of imagination, For here is where the jewels lie. Here, beloved, is where you shall find me.All fear disappeared, All death resolved. Flow upon flow, our one beloved soul, Into the abyss of bliss. More love embraced, as we are one.Upon the glorious sea of mercy,I welcome the joining of you into me,Be.....be love, as the one wave.One sea swamping me, I drown into the abyss of peace.Come... come with me, I offer you my hand ~One leading oneBut I cannot make you see. You must see the sea, in your dreams. Come, come.... heaven awaits me.
