By MillicentIn quatrain (rubai), Rumi PoetryPosted June 21, 2020

Union with God cannot be achieved until a person has completely annihilated his self. Such a Union is not the merging of two to make one. Union requires your total annihilation. Absurdity does not turn falsehood into Truth. Only a fool says, "Everything is God." Rubailer (2016, Rubai #2, page...

Since We See Others… (9/1/19)

By MillicentIn quatrain (rubai), Rumi PoetryPosted September 1, 2019
