Camel of Love: Islam




  







 A GARDEN BEYOND PARADISE

Everything you see has its roots  in the Unseen world.
The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.

Every wondrous sight will vanish,  every sweet word will fade.
But do not be disheartened.
The Source they come from is eternal---
Growing, branching out, giving new life and new joy.

Why do you weep?--
That Source is within you,
And this whole world is springing up from it.

The Source is full,
Its waters are ever-flowing;
Do not grieve, drink your fill!
Don't think it will ever run dry.
This is the endless ocean!

(Poem by Rumi, from "Timeless Wisdom"  by Eknath Easwaran)

What more can I say.
The wonder of this Truth is simply beyond words.
