Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Companionship With the Holy RumiDon't take a wooden sword into battle. Go, find one of steel; then march forward with joy.The saint's protection is Truth's sword: your time with him is worth as much as the cup of life itself.All the wise have said the same: the one who knows God is God's mercy to His creatures .....Companionship with the holy makes you one of them. Though you're rock or marble, you'll become a jewel when you reach the man of heart.Plant the love of the holy ones within your spirit; don't give your heart to anything, but the love of those whose hearts are glad.Don't go to the neighborhood of despair: there is hope. Don't go in the direction of darkness: suns exist.MATHNAWI 1, 714-717, 721-724(translated by Kabir Helminski and Camille Helminski)------------Allspirit Website: http://www.allspirit.co.ukGroup homepage: rumi-hafiz/To : rumi-hafiz-To : rumi-hafizYour use of is subject to the Your use of is subject to the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
