Sufi poem

[C T]

^{What never existed}

 

^{leaves nothing in the hand}

 

^{but wind}

 

^{while 'reality'}

 

^{offers nothing but imperfection}

 

^{and failure;}

 

^{that being the case}

 

^{we can only dream}

 

^{of what never was}

 

^{and as for what 'really is'}

 

^remember:

 

^{it does not exist.}

[guruyoga]

Who is man?

The reflection of the Eternal Light.

 

What is the world?

A wave on the Everlasting Sea.

 

How could the reflection be cut off from the Light?

 

How could the wave be separate from the Sea?

 

Know that this reflection and this wave are that very Light and Sea.

 

- Ahmad al-Jami

[Protector]

Who is man?

 

 

a miserable pile of secrets

[guruyoga]

a miserable pile of secrets

 

Thanks for that you miserable sneaky pile

That's really comforting to know, Sun. Good for you...
