Mevlana Makes an Appearance

[Guest guest]

My dearest Mazie,

We did meet then? We did...?

>>>"Who could've, Who would've ever thunk It?!

Not i! Certainly and most assuredly,

Not i..."<<<

And I am already so fulfilled... that such is indeed possible...

satsangh Mevlana Makes an Appearance

Making a way along the path this day,

before the sun had even shown That Face,

this pathless path, was just standing on a balcony.

Immoblile, rooted in Love and This Moment,

Suddenly, so swiftly like a Sun Burst,

My Mevlana made an Appearance to me.

Oh Yes, Dear God, Sweet Beloved!

Rumi, stood there, so filled with Marvelosity,

and those Mevlana-Eyes, so dark and shining!

They pierced me through and through.

He stood above the earth and in the very air,

and he did this with the Sweetest Smile imaginable.

The air shuddered with some rippling Iridescence,

so surely You must See this image Now,

surely You See This is As It Is, and It Is.

He spoke with a Laugh, a lilting, lulling Laugh.

i was no longer in Calistoga, or Deer Park,

i was once again in Konya,

standing next to Him,

feeling the very briskness of Light and Air,

wandering about, and in the mountains there,

i realized with startling Delight,

i was no longer even i Seeing and Being This,

for i became and always was, JUST YOU!

Darling it was Your face, Your heart, Your eyes

that were Seeing and Tasting All of this.

Rumi is such the good host and gives It All.

He held hands with Us and Kissed them too,

and truly my Beloved, he Loves me and You!

As this Vision so Real, i could smell the smoke in his hair,

unfolded and unfolded inside My Heart,

there appeared beneath me, so suddenly too,

a large, black, and some other silvery color too, a dog.

And not just any dog i might remind You!

It was a big German Shepherd, a dog, a real dog!

He walked by after looking up at me.

Strolled past without saying a thing to me,

but i Knew, i Understood the significance of this.

So will the Beloved Love of my Heart.

Such is the Suchness of Love,

So much Love wants to give to Us!

Surrendered and not even looking for anything,

it seems that God, That Radiantly Happy-Faced One,

just wants to give me Everything,

Every little thing that can Be Given,

Like Wim's using the word "Mutuality," Wow!

He keeps thrusting It All Inside this tiny Heart.

Mevlana appearing, well for Pete's sake,

Love,

Mazie

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

One of the senior Lumens approached Ixnay in private,

but Ixnay asked him to speak up, for the benefit of all

the gathered greebs.

 

"In the Rapture of Saladan I have glimpsed that place

of Light, but have not been able to gain lasting entry.

Alas - I always fall back upon my self somehow.

What is it that Love wants to give me.

What will it be like, pray tell, when I finally arrive?"

 

To which Ixnay responded:

 

"Perhaps some imagine

there is a place to land.

 

There is no arrival,

nor any lack thereof.

Everything is Given, but

there is nobody to receive.

 

Everywhere one turns,

and everyone now turning

is only what the Ancients call

'This Suchness'.

 

Nor is there anything

above beyond below within

or without this. To even say

`It Is What Is'

flirts with superfluity, but

amusingly,

we love to sing,

which is precisely it --

check out the birds!

 

Perhaps you once thought that

there would always be a place to

come back to, like a lion dragging its kill

through the bushes to a den.

 

Oh Darling,

there are no bushes in this vast

wilderness, nowhere to return.

 

When you are `there',

which is Now

and not a `place',

you will not know it,

for you will have become it.

 

The one having the glimpse

will have vanished.

 

It will seem as though

nothing has changed,

and that will be true.

 

Then you will notice

you are not afraid.

 

A thousand samadhis won't compare

to just one dear sweet breath of air!

 

Hey now –

let's Dance!

 

Tra la, tra la, tra la, tra lee -

 

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
