I have come, as if the mind and soul were hidden from all eyes, to look at the soul and eyes of the torch. I have come to guide my wife to the treasure of my wife. I have come to go and not to take the gold. I have come to give life to the heartbreaker, to take my head from my head. Between my waist, he sits in my eyes, where should I look? He has taken the city of my heart. Where should I travel? The mountain splits from the wound of his arrow. His arrow is wide open. Oh, if I were to go, I said, "You will take the sun, you will take your own life, your life will be like a fever." He said slowly, "Yes, if I go, the light of purity will draw my heart from the light of her face, and the water from her beauty will flow to my liver. In the lust of her imagination, I have become like a dream, and I will go to the head of jealousy, her name, the name of the face of the moon. This is my ghazal, the answer to that wind that was before me." He said, "You won't eat, I'll go to someone else." ------------------------------------ Rumi Conspires to Steal God's Wisdom Ghazal #1403 from the Divan of Shams Rumi is madly in love and this love is evident in his every word. In Ghazal 1403 Rumi tells God I'm here to declare my love and I don't care if you reject me because any response from you is like honey to my ears. He also tells God that he's thinking of looting his treasure trove of wisdom to bring it back to show others so they may have a beacon to guide them on their path to transcendence. He continues by telling his readers that he wishes he could only describe God to us. Unfortunately, he has no other choice than to use earthly examples to get the idea across to us. Have you ever heard a lover describe his beloved? Doesn't Rumi sound utterly smitten? Ahhh, I call this true love 💘 Watch this video through to the end as Arash interprets each verse where Rumi confesses his ardent love for his Beloved. Arash also explains this mad love by providing examples of earthly as well as spiritual love. Later in the video he discusses the mystical concept of illusion. It's a fascinating video full of information not to be missed.
