*one two three testing testing*
My last transmission from Estonia!
Any last words?
YES!
BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD :))))
I
happened to visit a nice young lady's page today, and saw the picture
of Yunus Emre there. As some of you may know,Yunus Emre is a poet, a
great mystic.
Just
seeing his face, my heart leapt with joy, and expanded, and I floated
off my chair and bang into the Universe. You may search me there ...
It's beauty, beauty and beauty that saves the world!
My soul,
the way of the masters
is thinner than the thinnest.
What blocked Solomon's way was an ant.
Night and day the lover's
tears never end,
tears of blood,
remembering the Beloved.
"The lover is outcast and idle,"
they used to tell me.
It's true.
It happened to me.
I tried to make sense of the Four Books,
until love arrived,
and it all became a single syllable.
You who claim to be dervishes
and to never do what God forbids --
the only time you're free of sin
is when you're in His hands.
Two people wer talking.
One said, "I wish I could see this Yunus."
"I've seen him," the other says,
"He's just another old lover."
- Yunus Emre
