\"Hello<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

ONE SONG<\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Every war and every conflict between human beings
\nhas happened because of some disagreement about names.<\/p>\n

It is such an unnecessary foolishness,
\nbecause just beyond the arguing
\nthere is a long table of companionship
\nset and waiting for us to sit down.<\/p>\n

What is praised is one, so the praise is one too,
\nmany jugs being poured into a huge basin.
\nAll religions, all this singing, one song.<\/p>\n

\"h\"<\/p>\n

The differences are just illusion and vanity.
\nSunlight looks a little different on this wall
\nthan it does on that wall
\nand a lot different on this other one,
\nbut it is still one light.<\/p>\n

We have borrowed these clothes,
\nthese time-and-space personalities,
\nfrom a light, and when we praise,
\nwe are pouring them back in. <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

~ Jalal ad-din Rumi
\n-Translated by Coleman Barks.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

As my teacher, Sidi Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal, said, \u201cAt the heart of all religions is one religion \u2013 the religion of Peace, Love, Mercy, Justice and Freedom.\u201d <\/p>\n

If everyone knew their religion well, there would be only ONE.
\nNo fighting \u2013 just ONE SONG of praise to only One.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
