'Did I Not Say To You' by Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi
Did I not say to you,“Go not there, for I am your friend; in this
mirage of annihilation I am the fountain of life?”
mirage of annihilation I am the fountain of life?”
Even though in anger you depart a hundred thousand years
from me, in the end you will come to me, for I am your goal.
from me, in the end you will come to me, for I am your goal.
Did I not say to you,
“Be not content with worldly forms, for I
am the fashioner of the tabernacle of your contentment?”
am the fashioner of the tabernacle of your contentment?”
Did I not say to you,
“I am the sea and you are a single fish;
go not to dry land, for I am your crystal sea?”
go not to dry land, for I am your crystal sea?”
Did I not say to you,
“ Go not like birds to the snare; come, for
I am the power of flight and your wings and feet?”
I am the power of flight and your wings and feet?”
Did I not say to you,
“ They will waylay you and make you
cold, for I am the fire and warmth and heat of your desire?”
cold, for I am the fire and warmth and heat of your desire?”
Did I not say to you,
“ They will implant in you ugly qualities
so that you will forget that I am the source of purity to you?”
Did I not say to you,
“Do not say from what direction the servant’s affairs come into order?”
I am the Creator without directions.
If you are the lamp of the heart, know where the road is to the house;
and if you are godlike of attribute, know that I am your Master.
p/s: I just thought the poem is just simply beautiful...

hey ape ni?
Jalaluddin Rumi is one of a great sufi master of his time. I am not an expert in literature, but I guess those poems that I posted are about the relationships between God and His servant.
