No Signs, No Tricks, No Traces (9/27/2020)

By MillicentIn quatrain (rubai), Rumi PoetryPosted September 27, 2020

Only a Fool Says… (8/16/2020)

By MillicentIn quatrain (rubai), Rumi PoetryPosted August 16, 2020

Union with God cannot be achieved until a person completely annihilates his self. Such a Union is not the merging of two to make one. Union is your total annihilation. Absurdity doesn’t turn falsehood into Truth. Only a fool says, “Everything is God.” Rubailer (2016), Rubai #2, page 179

Throw Away This Image (10/7/18)

By MillicentIn Gazel (longer poem), Rumi PoetryPosted October 7, 2018

The words which come from the soul are a curtain to the soul. The fog which comes from the sea hides the coast and the pearls of that sea.   It is a great task to get involved in philosophical discourses. But, the explanation is the curtain to the Sun...

You Will Never… (2/11/18)

By MillicentIn quatrain (rubai), Rumi PoetryPosted February 11, 2018

You will never taste ecstasy as long as you are sober. You will never know the soul if you stay attached to your body. You will never reach the Truth unless you are annihilated like fire and water thrown together on the way to the Beloved's Love Rubailer, Page 430, Rubai #4...

Once Love Comes to Talk (10/29/17)

By MillicentIn Gazel (longer poem), Rumi PoetryPosted October 29, 2017

By MillicentIn quatrain (rubai), Rumi PoetryPosted November 6, 2016

The secret of Truth cannot be understood by asking questions, gathering information, or spending all of your wealth and belongings. If you haven’t cried for fifty years with bloody tears, if you haven’t burned your heart out, you will never find the way from words to ecstasy. Rubailer, Page 267, Rubai #2
