A Heart makes a good home for the Friend.

I've come to build some hearts.

I'm a little drunk from this Friendship-

Any lover would know the shape I'm in.

I've come to exchange my twoness,

to disappear in One.

He is my teacher. I am His servant.

I am a nightingale in His garden.

I've come to the Teacher's garden

to be happy and die singing.

They say "Souls which know each other here,

know each other there."

I've come to know a Teacher

and to show myself as I am.

 

- Yunus Emre

 

 

Find a Master who is like the Sun.

 

Go to His house

In the middle of the night.

 

Smash a window.

Act like a great burgler--

Jump in.

 

Now,

Gather all your courage--

Throw yourself into His bed!

 

He will probably kill you.

 

Fantastic--

That's the whole idea!

 

- Hafiz

 

 

My blood is boiling. My heart is on fire

And the winter snow is melting away from my body

 

Someone's love is knocking me out

And pulling me after itself very forcefully

 

Though I am in this hell and fire

I'm filled with honey and nectar

 

Though I am condemned to take this journey

I'm filled with the sweetness of going home

 

~ Rumi
