Leo's Godhead drawing reminded me of a Rumi poem

6 posts in this topic

It's called the Tale of the Flute.

The flute talks about how it was separated from its home and the reed (Godhead) and says humans are separated from their original homeland and all they seek is going back there again.

The flute sings and complains about seperation (duality) and it makes people cry because deep down they want union.


هر که را جامه ز عشقی چاک شد 
او ز حرص و عیب کلی پاک شد 
 

Anyone that embodies love, becomes pure of all greed and hatred.

He also uses fire as a metaphor of God's Love. It burns falsehood and ego.

هر کسی کو دور ماند از اصل خویش
بازجوید روزگار وصل خویش

Anyone who becomes seperated from their original form, always seek it and want it back.

@CMacD The Godhead is you.  You don't need a drawing.  Just imagine it and it is.

 


 

Wisdom.  Truth.  Love.
