Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Forwarded by Steve Toth Poetryvortex Sufimystic There is no salvation for the soul but to fall in love It has to creep & crawl among lovers first Only lovers can escape from these two worlds This was written in creation Only from the heart can you reach the sky The rose of glory can only be raised in the heart --Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi ******************************** You may try a hundred things, but love alone will release you from yourself. So never flee from love--not even from love in an earthly guise--for it is a preparation for the supreme truth. How will you ever read the Koran without first learning the alphabet? --Jami ********************************* He who knows three things is saved from three things: Who knows that the Creator made no mistakes at Creation is saved from petty fault finding. Who knows that He made no favoritism in allotting fortune is saved from jealousy. Who knows of what he is created is saved from pride. --Ansari ******************************** Words must be used like stepping stones: lightly and with nimbleness, because if you step on them too heavily, you incur the danger of falling into the intellectual mire of logic and reason. -Balsekar ******************************** Spiritual path Mysticism Christian mysticism Jewish mysticism De mello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 All that was just Mr. Rumi's experiences who fell in love with a beautiful young man who after a while lefr the town and never again was seen. This deep longing for that man dind't end and consctantly burnt in Mr. Rumi til he finally said " fuck you " and forgot that man but this love stayed. And now all romantic souls are longing and dreaming of that love and totally forget running after beautiful young men.
