Rumi, I love you...

“For ages you have come and gone 
courting this delusion. 
For ages you have run from the pain 
and forfeited the ecstasy. 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

Although you appear in earthly form 
Your essence is pure Consciousness. 
You are the fearless guardian 
of Divine Light. 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

When you lose all sense of self 
the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish. 
Lose yourself completely, 
Return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

You descended from Adam, by the pure Word of God, 
but you turned your sight 
to the empty show of this world. 
Alas, how can you be satisfied with so little? 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

Why are you so enchanted by this world 
when a mine of gold lies within you? 
Open your eyes and come --- 
Return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

You were born from the rays of God's Majesty 
when the stars were in their perfect place. 
How long will you suffer from the blows 
of a nonexistent hand? 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

You are a ruby encased in granite. 
How long will you decieve Us with this outer show? 
O friend, We can see the truth in your eyes! 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

After one moment with that glorious Friend 
you became loving, radiant, and ecstatic. 
Your eyes were sweet and full of fire. 
Come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

Shams-e Tabriz, the King of the Tavern 
has handed you an eternal cup, 
And God in all His glory is pouring the wine. 
So come! Drink! 
Return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That. 
Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That. 
The road that leads to the City is endless; 
Go without head and feet 
and you'll already be there. 
What else could you be? - you are That.”
