Try to See the Honey (3/13/2022) Don’t look at me as if I am a stranger. I am close to you. Try to see the honey and not just the bees. Unless you are Satan, look for the meaning of Adam. Don’t bother with his shape and size. Rubailer (2016), More...

Generous and Merciful (3/6/2022) I pulled you out of the fire of lust, brought you here, then threw you back into that fire, scattering you there.   You were born from My heart like these words. Yet, you run, trying to escape. And, you reproach me.   You are with Me, but More...

Concealed (2/27/2022) Know that the Beloved is concealed from everyone. The Beloved cannot be conceived by even the strongest imagination.

Where Are You? (2/20/2022) Where are you, O God’s martyrs, O ones who looked for trouble in the Karbala* desert?   Where are you, O impatient lovers, O ones who fly faster than the birds in the sky?   Where are you, O sultans of the sky, O ones who More...

Choose the Trouble of Love (1/30/2022) Choose the trouble of Love over all other troubles. I don’t know any better way to reach the Beloved. Don’t worry if you don’t have wealth and possessions. Worry if you don’t have troubles. Rubailer (2016), Rubai 3, page 366. The Rubaiyat of Rumi, More...

Even If You Can’t See It (1/23/2022) The one to whom the secret of Love appears loses his being, becomes annihilated in the Beloved.   Light a candle and put it in the sunshine. Look how it becomes engulfed by sunlight.   The candle’s light is there, but, at the More...

This is the Time of War (1/16/2022) Put on your arms. This is the time of war, O soul. It is getting late. Don’t hesitate. This world is nothing but a colorful show. Give it up, O soul. There is a cat and mouse fight on every corner, O soul. More...

Reach Peace (1/9/2022) It is vain for you to try to separate my Beloved from me. I have become Him. What can you do to Him? Tell me.   You cannot see even a hair between us. Nor can you see either of us being ashamed.   Even if a More...
