Life's Symphony

whether...

it is the seventh octave lower

or...

the seventh octave higher

whether...

it is a sharp

or a flat

or a natural

whatever key it is

the moment

the harmonious hand hath touched it

it creates harmony

makes of it a symphony

we are all as notes

before that divine Musician

when His blessing hand touches

whatever be one's life condition

the beauty will manifest

and add to life's symphony

Joy and Blessing of Life

infancy has a beauty

childhood is interesting

youth has its spirit

age has its knowledge and dignity

its wisdom and beauty

no note on the piano

has not its particular action

has not its part

in the symphony of nature

Hidden Secrets

words and sound

are the sign of life

words

hidden under sound

sound

hidden under words

musician perceives sound

poet perceives words

underneath

is life living

Freethinker Blues

every soul is born for a certain purpose

light of that purpose is kindled in every soul

lets everyone to have his own path

don't compare the principles of others

with our own... and lets

allow freedom of thought to everyone

Duality

knower knows

lover appreciates

mystic worships

the beauty

of duality

like that of the SUN and the RAY

the ray is the ray of the sun

but...

the sun is the sun

the ray is the ray

nevertheless...

them are one

Attuning

tune thy inner sphere

to a...

higher pitch of vibration

and

live at thy own rhythm!

Rumi

Don’t grieve,
anything you lose comes round in another form.
The child weaned from mother’s milk
now drinks wine and honey mixed.

God’s joy moves
from unmarked box to unmarked box,
from cell to cell.

As rainwater, down into a flowerbed.
as a rose, up from the ground.
Now it looks like a plate of rice and fish,
now a cliff covered with vines,
now a horse being saddled.

It hides within these,
until one day it cracks them open.

Translated by: Coleman Barks

Awhaduddin Kermani

O, friend! Nobody veils you, but yourself.
In your path there is no thorn or weed, but yourself.
You said: Shall I reach the Beloved or not?
Between you and the Beloved there is nobody, but yourself.

Paramahansa Yogananda

You do not have to struggle to reach God,
but you do have to struggle to tear away
the self-created veil that hides him from you.

Ibn Arabi

It is He who is revealed in every face, sought in every sign, gazed upon by every eye, worshipped in every object of worship, and pursued in the unseen and the visible. Not a single one of His creatures can fail to find Him in its fundamental and original nature.
