There is a
community of the
spirit.
Join it,
and feel the
delight
of walking
in the noisy
street
and being the
noise.

~ Jalal ad-din Rumi

The Soul as an Image of Life
in Human Beings

My dear son and daughter,
be it known to you that
the soul is an image of life.
Life cannot be defined or recognized
except through its images
which manifest themselves to us.

These prominent images which
give meaning to life
are called soul,
which is neither seen nor tangible.

We know it only by its life-manifestations
represented in movables
and their life-images.

In the degrees of existence,
the soul is the origin
of its images
and the shrine
of its life.

It is there to express itself.

~ Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal ar-Rafa’i ash-Shadhuli
Music of the Soul
