We Are Due to Try Absence (11/27/16)

Fire leaned toward the ear of smoke and said secretly,

Absence is Essence; everything else is an attribute.

Absence is health; everything else is an illness.

This world is a big headache, a grand illusion.

Absence is the real treasure.

Rubailer, Page 257, Rubai #1

Every creature in the universe is God’s appearance.

Every event, everything has existed in the Divine Consciousness before.

Every particle comes from the whole.

But, that does not mean the whole divides into particles all the time.

Rubailer, Page 225, Rubai #4

How are you? How do you do?

“How” and “what” won’t help anyone understand you.

Except for the Sultan who is beyond “how” and “what,”

The world is charmed by His attributes.

Everything, everyone seems to exist.

But, they are all annihilated in front of Him,

And only the one who can lift the curtain of mortality

May reach His Essence behind His attributes.

Rubailer, Page 200, Rubai #2

Fate is not the slave of our heart’s desire;

Existence is a means to reach Absence.

Our nanny is behind the curtain.

In fact, we are not here; those are our shadows.

Ergin, Rubailar, Verse #4, Page 109
