Having nothing and wanting nothing............by Rumi


Last night 
my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty
Having nothing and wanting nothing.


I am a naked man
standing inside a mine of Rubies
clothed in red silk


I absorb the shining
and now i see the ocean


billion of simultaneous motions
moving in me


A circle of lovely quite people
becomes the ring on my finger


Then the wind and thunder of rain on the way
I have such a teacher.


~ Rumi
