* Rumi’s universality “What can I do * Submitters to God? I do not know myself. I am neither Christian nor Jew * Neither Zoroastrian nor Muslim * I am not from east or west * Not from land or sea * Not from the shafts of nature nor from the spheres of the firmament * Not of the earth * Not of water * Not of air * Not of fire. I am not from the highest heaven * Not from this world * Not from existence * Not from being. I am not from India * Not from China * Not from Bulgar * Not from Saqsin * Not from the realm of the two Iraqs * Not from the land of Khurasan I am not from the world * Not from beyond * Not from heaven and not from hell. I am not from Adam * Not from Eve * Not from paradise and not from Ridwan. My place is placeless * My trace is traceless * No body * No soul * I am from the soul of souls. I have chased out duality * Lived the two worlds as one. One I seek * One I know * One I see * One I call. He is the first * He is the last * He is the outer * He is the inner. Beyond “He” and “He is” I know no other. I am drunk from the cup of love * The two worlds have escaped me. I have no concern but carouse and rapture. If one day in my life I spend a moment without you from that hour and that time I would repent my life. If one day I am given a moment in solitude with you I will trample the two worlds underfoot and dance forever. O Sun of Tabriz (Shams Tabrizi) * I am so tipsy here in this world * I have no tale to tell but tipsiness and rapture.” “ Come * Come * Whoever you are * Wanderer * Idolater
* Worshiper of fire * Come even though you have broken your vows a thousand times * Come * And come yet again. Ours is not a caravan of despair.[43] ” The AlChemist by Paulo Coelho “When you know that language * It’s easy to believe that someone in the world awaits you * Whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city… without such love * One’s dreams would have no meaning.” Paulo Coelho
