Esoterism

Eu i-am răspuns: ‘E bine să învălui tainele ‘Prietenului’,
Așa că ia aminte la-nvățătura și pildele ăstor povești;
E mult mai bine astfel decât s-arunci lumină peste taine,
Ca mai apoi străinii să le mânjească cu flecăreala lor’.

Rumi - Mathnawi

Whatever happens

whatever happens
to the world around
show me your purpose
show me your source

even if the world
is Godless and in chaos
show me your anchor
show me your love

if there is hunger
if there is famine
show me your harvest
show me your resource

if life is bitter
everywhere snakes everywhere poison
show me your garden
show me your meadow

if the sun and the moon fall
if darkness rules the world
show me your light
show me your flame

if I have no mouth
or tongue to utter
words of your secrets
show me your fountain

i'll keep silence
How can i express
your life when mine
still is untold

Rumi - Poems
