Hello Rumi Tuesday! Be with Me… April 25, 2017

Hello Rumi Tuesday

 

everything or nothing

 

When you are with everyone but me,

 

you’re with no one.

 

When you are with no one but me,

 

you’re with everyone.

 

 

Instead of being so bound up with everyone,

 

be everyone.

 

When you become that many,

 

you’re nothing.

 

Empty.

 

 
by Jalaluddin Rumi
translated by Coleman Barks
from Rumi: We Are Three

 

 

 

There is a saying in Sufism:

“Be in the world, not of the world.”

We are given this world to know God.

Everything in this world is a reflection

of God’s Beauty, God’s Majesty, and God’s Perfection.

God created this world in order to be Known,

and God created the human being for gnosis.

When we look to the outer world, the material realm, the ego selves,

we see nothing.

When we look to see the Face of God in everything,

we see only One,

and we see everything.

There is no separation between the Beauty and the Majesty.

There is only the Perfection of The One.

La illaha ila ‘llah

There is no other,

only the Essence of the One.
