Rumi

'Even if you have everyting, without God you have nothing,
While if you have nothing but you are with Him,
you have everything.'
Masnawi 3:1214

'How far can your parents friendship continue?
Except for God, all friends will leave you.'
Masnawi 3:552

The Light

He gave me Love,
So that I can taste the meaning of Love,
But He took it away,
Only so that I would go on looking,
For the True Great Love,
That is Him, The Almighty.

Peace

Recite ,
what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee,
and establish regular prayer,
for prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds,
and remembrance of Allah,
is the greattest (thing in life),
without a doubt,
and Allah knows the deeds that ye do.


Al-Ankabut 29:45

I Hope So. . . .

You know what,
I did it,. . .
not talking to you,that is,
No, not even in my head, I don't,
not anymore,
not even when the flashes appear in my head,
not even when the images appear in my sleep,
so I've stopped talking to you, for now,
not even in my head, I don't,
not even when my premonitions are wrong,
for ever since I've stopped talking to you,
I've been hearing more profound voices,
telling me great things that are happening,
giving me beautiful answers to the mysteries,
thats been going on for ages,
And I hope I can go on doing so,
not talking to you,
that is,
not even in my spinning tale head,
I don't,
Ever . . . . .

Disconnected

When the ties,
that bind,
suddenly severed,
let ANGER,
and not sorrow,
take hold,
for ANGER,
will make the fighting spirit,
alive,
unlike sorrow,
which would only drag the soul,
down,
into the pit,
of never ending,
darkness . ..
