I do not exist......by Rumi

I do not exist, 
am not an entity in this world or the next, 
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story.

My place is the placeless, 
a trace of the traceless. 
Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, 
have seen the two worlds as one
and that one call to and know, 
first, last, outer, inner,

only that breath 
breathing human being.

~ Rumi

  1. Hi there. I am trying to trace the source of that BEAUTIFUL quote. Do you have it? The original language would be fantastic but even the original source would be great.
