Listen: Not once in our history Has an ant gone out and captured An elephant single-handed. Does that tell you anything new? Maybe not. This teaching business Isn't Easy. The...

Hafiz - Divine envoy

Hafiz is a Divine envoy Whom the Beloved Has written a holy message upon. My dear, please tell me, Why do you still Throw sticks at your heart And God? What is it in that sweet voice inside That incites you to fear? Now is the time for the world to know That every thought and action is sacred. This is the time For you to deeply compute the impossibility That there is anything But Grace. Now is the season to know That everything you do Is sacred.

It offers what the wise crave-- The priceless treasure of Freedom. Pure Divine Love is no meek priest Or tight... Sign in to see full entry.

Rumi - A Green Winged Longing

"A Green-Winged Longing" This world of two gardens, and both so beautiful. This world, a street where a funeral is passing. Let us rise together and leave "this world," as water goes bowing down itself to the ocean. From gardens to the gardener, from grieving to wedding feast. We tremble like leaves about to let go.

Hafiz, could you whisper the luminous Close to each wayfarer's body And let the whole world know About the Beloved's True nature? Yes, dear ones, I can, Listen to one of my favorite words That the Friend too is always... Sign in to see full entry.
