Outerspace

...


We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee;
we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.

We are as pieces of chess engaged in victory and defeat:
our victory and defeat is from thee, O thou whose qualities are comely!

Who are we, O Thou soul of our souls,
that we should remain in being beside thee?

We and our existences are really non-existence;
thou art the absolute Being which manifests the perishable.

We all are lions, but lions on a banner:
because of the wind they are rushing onward from moment to moment.

Their onward rush is visible, and the wind is unseen:
may that which is unseen not fail from us!

Our wind whereby we are moved and our being are of thy gift;
our whole existence is from thy bringing into being.

~ Rumi, Masnavi Book I- 599-607

This Blog is undergoing changes

Dear readers, this blog is trying to undergo a few changes. So, please bear with me if you find anything or everything missing or distorted or outrageous here for the time being.

I hope to get it into shape very very soon.

Poetically, yours,
Inam.
