The chamber of your heart | shaharil82's Blog

Make it ready to be the dwelling place of the Beloved.
 When you depart out,
 He will enter it.
 In you,
 void of yourself,
 will He display His beauties.

 The tavern-haunter wanders alone in a desolate place,
 seeing the whole world as a mirage.

 The tavern-haunter is a seeker of Unity,
 a soul freed from the shackles of himself.

 Through the chamber of the heart is small,
 it’s large enough for the Lord of both worlds
 to gladly make His home there.

 - Shabistari

’I’ and ‘you’ are but the lattices,
 in the niches of a lamp,
 through which the One Light shines.
 ‘I’ and ‘you’ are the veil
 between heaven and earth;
 lift this veil and you will see
 no longer the bonds of sects and creeds.
 When ‘I’ and ‘you’ do not exist,
 what is mosque, what is synagogue?
 What is the Temple of Fire? (2)
