"I have learned so much" ~*~Hafiz~*~

    "I have learned so much from God 
that I can no longer call myself a Christian, 
a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, or a Jew.
     The truth has shared so much of  Itself with me
that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, 
an Angel, or even a pure Soul.
      Love has befriended Hafiz so completely 
It has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known! ~*~

  The ecstasy of the Unseen in the visible world is the splendour of the Divine in the form of the River Gangaji at Rishikesh, at the base of the Himalayas!

"Wanting what is outside is a bait that will trap you.
Step out onto sky through the round threshold.
Be alone in your search for absolute aloneness.

Be a bowl thrown out on the ocean,
not a bowl held out for more going from kitchen to kitchen.
Time is bright, then dark, warm and cold by turns.
Live at the springhead where the flowing begins."*

Om! Om! Om!
