Questions About Devastation

A man was breaking up the soil,
when another man came by, "Why
are you ruining this land?"
"Don't be a fool! Nothing can grow
until the ground is turned over and crumbled.
There can be no roses and no orchard
without first this that looks devastating.
You must lance an ulcer to heal it.
You must tear down parts of an old building
to restore it, and so it is with a sensual life
that has no spirit in it.
To change,
a person must face the dragon of his appetites
with another dragon, the life-energy of the soul."
When that's not strong,
the world seems to be full of people
who have your own fears and wantings.
As one thinks the room is spinning
when he's whirling around.
When your love contracts in anger,
the atmosphere itself feels threatening.
But when you're expansive, no matter
what the weather, you're in an open,
windy field with friends.
Many people travel to Syria and Iraq
and meet only hypocrites.
Others go all the way to India
and see just merchants buying and selling.
Others go to Turkestan and China
and find those countries filled
with sneak-thieves and cheats.
We always see the qualities
that are living in us.
A cow may walk from one side of the amazing city
of Baghdad to the other and notice only
a watermelon rind and a tuft of hay
that fell off a wagon.
Don't keep repeatedly doing
what your animal-soul wants to do.
That's like deciding to be a strip of meat
nailed and drying on a board in the sun.
Your spirit needs to follow the changes happening
in the spacious place it knows about.
There, the scene is always new,
a clairvoyant river of picturing,
more beautiful than any on earth.
This is where the sufis wash.
Purify your eyes, and see the pure world.
Your life will fill with radiant forms.
It's a question of cleaning
and then developing the spiritual senses.
Say you were blindfolded,
and a lovely woman came by.
You could know her beauty somewhat
by hearing her speak, but what
if she didn't say anything!
Muinuddin, there are marvels
you're not aware of. Don't judge with your eyes.
Look at me through my eyes.

See beyond phenomena,
and these difficult questions will dissolve
into love within love...
Rumi

« La vérité est un miroir tombé de la main de Dieu et qui s'est brisé. Chacun en ramasse un fragment et dit que toute la vérité s'y trouve »

« Ce qui est vivant, fais-le mourir : c’est ton corps.
Ce qui est mort, vivifie-le : c’est ton cœur.
Ce qui est présent, cache-le : c’est le monde d’ici-bas.
Ce qui est absent, fais-le venir : c’est le monde de la vie future.
Ce qui existe : anéantis-le : c’est la passion.
Ce qui n’existe pas, produis-le : c’est l’intention. »
Rûmi

Dans l'amour, le vaillant est celui qui, quand l'amour l'attrape, capitule.
(Rûmi

Comment by Michèle on February 27, 2009 at 10:50pm

En vérité, nous sommes une seule âme, moi et Toi.
Nous apparaissons et nous nous cachons
Toi dans moi, moi dans Toi.
Voilà le sens profond de mon rapport avec Toi.
Car il n'existe entre Toi et moi, ni Toi, ni moi.
Nous sommes double miroir et visage à la fois
Nous sommes ivres de la coupe éternelle
Nous sommes le baume et la guérison
Nous sommes l'eau de jouvence et celui qui la verse.

(Rumî)
