There's a street where the Beautiful one is known to take a stroll When a certain radience is noticed through the latticed windows of that neighborhood, people whisper, The Beloved must be near, Listen: open a window to Beloved and breathe. Delight yourself with what comes through that opening. The work of love is to create a window in the heart, for the breast is illumined by the beauty of the Beloved. Gaze incessantly on that Face! Listen, this is in your power, my friend! Find a way to submit your innermost secret. Let no other perception distract you. You,yourself, possess the elixir, so rub it into your skin, and by this alchemy your inner enemies will become friends. And as you are made beautiful, the Beautiful One will become your own, the intimate of your once lonely spirit. ~ Rumi Art by Gnana Prakash Neel |
