Essence of the One
What you seek
is seeking
YOU.
by Jelaluddin Rumi,
translated by Coleman Barks
What are you seeking?
Do you know?
The heart of everyone seeks to know its Truth.
There is a fire inside that is breathed into each human,
that gives life to physical form.
The fire may appear to go out,
but it never dies.
Every heart wants nothing more than
to be released from its constriction so that
it may soar freely and return its consciousness
to know its Origin.
When the heart looks to the material world
to find love and peace,
it finds disappointment.
It is not meant to find its home in this place.
It is meant to see only reflections of the Light
that will guide it to the One it truly yearns for,
the One that awaits its return.
Do not stop with the pictures in the mirrors.
Go behind the mirrors.
Seek the Essence of the One.
