Rumi ...




If we come to ignorance ... That is His prison ...
And if we come to knowledge ... That is His balcony ...


If we come to sleep ... We are His drowzy drunken ones ...
And if we come to wakeful alertness ... We are in His Hands ...


If we come to weeping ... We are His cloud full of rain drops ...
And if we come to laughing ... We are His lightning in that moment ...


If we come to anger and battle ... It is a reflection of His wrath ...
And if we come to peace and pardon ... It is the reflection of His Love ...

Knowledge, remembrance, joy, peace, mercy and love... Alhamdulillah! Rumi's poem speaks of the heart of the Sufi in love and awe of Allah. A wonderful post :)

Ya Haqq!
