from one rumi lover to another- where is penkatali?

[Guest guest]

Love has nothing to do with

 

the five senses and the six directions:

 

its goal is only to experience

 

the attraction exerted by the Beloved.

 

Afterwards, perhaps, permission

 

will come from God:

 

the secrets that ought to be told with be told

 

with an eloquence nearer to the understanding

 

that these subtle confusing allusions.

 

The secret is partner with none

 

but the knower of the secret:

 

in the skeptic's ear

 

the secret is no secret at all.

to have vanished into thin air since the holy month of ramadhan.

 

guys, if you all remember, penkatali gave us the beautiful

translation of saundarya lahari.

 

oh boy, do we missw him or what?

 

in fond rememberance,
