Rumi - Abandon This World

Abandon this world That you may become King of all worlds. Throw away your handful of sugar That you may become a sugar field. Leap like a flame through the sky. Scatter the dark spirits and become the pillar of heaven. When Noah sails upon the flooding waters you will be his ark. When the Prophet ascends to heaven you will be his ladder. When Jesus walks among the weary souls you will be his healing breath. When Moses goes forth as a shepherd you will be his staff. A divine fire blazes within... Sign in to see full entry.
