Positive Posted May 4, 2008 Rumi speaks from the heart and speaks to the heart. May be that is why he even today attracts many people with different faiths in all the corners of the world . I present in here one of his timeless peoms about LOVE. Love for the Word and the Creator of All. The Alchemy of Love You come to us from another world From beyond the stars and void of space. Transcendent, Pure, Of unimaginable beauty, Bringing with you the essence of love. You transform all who are touched by you. Mundane concerns, troubles, and sorrows dissolve in your presence, Bringing joy to ruler and ruled To peasant and King. You bewilder us with your grace. All evils transform into goodness. You are the master alchemist. You light the fire of love in earth and sky in heart and soul of every being. Through your loving existence and nonexistence erge. All opposites unite. All that is profane becomes sacred again.

Positive Posted May 4, 2008 Why do the traditonal ulima have difficult to make head way to impress the western mind while the Sufis do. Any thoughts? The Awakener Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lidia Posted June 18, 2008 I am not sure whether that is the case, Muslims, whether they are Sufi or not impressed many people around the world, including those in the West. They have impressed them with their Art, Science, Philosophy, among many other things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
