Great Quotes #139: Jalaluddin Rumi (continued)

in greatquotes •  7 years ago  (edited)

SOURCE

You are an ocean in a drop of dew,

all the universes in a thin sack of blood.

What are these pleasures then,

these joys, these worlds

that you keep reaching for,

hoping they will make you more alive?

Jalaluddin Rumi

    And patience flees my heart,
    And reason flees my mind.
    Oh, how drunk can I get to be,
    Without your love's security?

      Love asks us to enjoy our life
      For nothing good can come of death.
      Who is alive? I ask.
      Those who are born of love.

      Seek us in love itself,
      Seek love in us ourselves.
      Sometimes I venerate love,
      Sometimes it venerates me.

      Be helpless, dumbfounded,
      Unable to say yes or no.
      Then a stretcher will come from grace
      to gather us up.

      We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty.
      If we say we can, we’re lying.
      If we say No, we don’t see it,
      That No will behead us
      And shut tight our window onto spirit.

      So let us rather not be sure of anything,
      Beside ourselves, and only that, so
      Miraculous beings come running to help.
      Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
      We shall be saying finally,
      With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
      When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
      We shall be a mighty kindness.

      This mirror inside me shows.
      I can’t say what, but I can’t not know.
      I run from body. I run from spirit.
      I do not belong anywhere.

      Come, come, whoever you are, come.
      Infidel, idolator, Wanderer, fire-worshipper, it doesn't matter, come.
      Ours is not a convent of despair.
      Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,
      Come, come again.

      No one can tell if I’m laughing or weeping.

      I wonder myself.
