Hafiz Ghazal 450
Ghazal 450 For a long time, has left me with concerns Embraces strangers, yet lovers he spurns. Not even upon my state had a glance In this way, praise of the wise ones he earns. Better to keep his arm in his sleeve Hearts of the gifted artists, his hand churns. Neither rose nor nightingale are...

Be empty of what you think you know.
Be empty of what you think you know. That’s way Muhammad said, ‘Fools will take up the most of paradise.’ Your clever mind just whips up a dust storm of pride. Allow yourself to be fooled and peace clowns its way into your heart. If your head would shatter in wonder at what Reality really is,...

St. John of the Cross - IS THAT MY FATE
IS THAT MY FATE Do they prove anything to you, these tears? All that I had I laid outside that door where I was told you lived, and someone took those gifts, was it you? Were they that worthless that no thanks was given? That must have been the case for I heard not one word of gratitude. Has it ever...

The Sky Gave Me Its Heart - Rabia of Basra
The Sky Gave Me Its Heart The sky gave me its heart because it knew mine was not large enough to care for the earth the way it did. Why is it we think of God so much? Why is there so much talk about love? When an animal is wounded no one has to tell it, "You need to heal"; so naturally it will nurse...

Becoming Whole - Tukaram
Becoming Whole The woman whose speech and actions are the same-- her feet become worthy of worship. Keeping our word is the alchemy to become free and whole. Try and make amends for any broken hearts or broken promises; if you cannot do so in form than prayer can heal a debt with the light you can...

St. Teresa of Avila - In A Way The Grain Can Feel
In A Way The Grain Can Feel Remember, God, that we are the plants in your fields so connected to the earth that you know what would happen if you did not rain upon us. And if your light ceased to lift us from the ground and craft our bodies, how might we near you like the suns? Remember, God, to...
