Sacred Space - The Times of India
Sunday, May 7, 2006
Not Christian, Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi or Zen. Not any religion, or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, nor out of the ocean or up from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all.
I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or the next, did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story. My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body nor soul.
I belong to the beloved have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, First, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being.
Jalaluddin Rumi
Whatever you have in your mind — forget it; Whatever you have in your hand — give it; Whatever is to be your fate — face it!
Abu Sa'id
A seeker went to ask a sage for guidance on the Sufi way. The sage counselled, "If you have never trodden the path of love, go away and fall in love; then come back and see us".
