"In
my soul
there is a temple, a shrine, a mosque, a church
where I kneel.
Prayer should bring us to an altar where no walls or names exist.
Is there not a region of love where the sovereignty
illumined nothing,
where ecstasy gets poured into itself
and becomes
lost,
where the wing is fully alive
but has no mind or body?
In
my soul
there is a temple, a shrine, a mosque,
a church
that dissolve, that
dissolve in
God."
~ Rabia al-Adawiyyah of Basri
Who Am I?
I am neither Christian, nor Jew, nor Gabr, nor Moslem.
(Rumi)
I Have Learned So Much
I can no longer call myself A christian, a hindu, a muslim, a buddhist, a jew.
I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, even pure Soul.
(Hafiz)
God was nowhere else to be found.
(Rumi)
