Divine Tea

A gift given from above,
Just like the freshest tea from a rich field,
Pure in taste with a sacred aroma from the Divine,
Filling variant hearts with the urge to experience,
But why passed around in just one cup?
The spice added by one's eager lips,
The lips desiring for the Divine aroma to be enhanced,
One cup passes a thousand lips,
A thousand lips, infuse a thousand spices,
But the enhancement is nothing but a worldly spice,
The aroma in the cup is drowned within the spices,
Does the sacred tea need be enhanced?
Doesn't the Divine with you to build your own cup?
How else will be poured to you,
The first hand taste of the tea,
Freshly and directly from the Divine?

The game of chess

On the same vast land
The White pieces stand proudly tall,
The Black pieces stand proudly tall,
Differing in colour but carved in the same shape.
The divine impregnates their hearts with peace and love,
The pawns embrace one another and overcome their fear of colour.

The kings and queens corrupted with power.
Stubbornly remaining on their thrones, still at a distance and not overcoming their fears.
Their duty lies in brainwashing their pawns with fear,
They sit comfortably commanding and watching.
Ordering their powerless pawns to hate.

Banished is their purity and peace, replaced with an evil disease.
The pawns with intellect step to the side, trying to be unseen, avoiding the dangers, avoiding the evil.
This game soon becomes a war,
The blacks and the whites turn on each other.
How will the brainwashed pawns regain their purity?
Banished is their peace and love as they are fallen and destroyed.

How long will OUR game of chess last before we are all destroyed?

Even when you tear its petals off one after another,

the rose keeps laughing and doesn't bend in pain.

"Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn?

It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh."

Whatever you lost through fate,

be certain that it saved you from pain.

A Sheikh was asked: "What is Sufism?"

He said: "To feel joy in the heart when sorrow appears."

"Your Physical Attributes, like your body, are merely borrowed. Do not set your heart on them, for they are transient and only last for an hour. Your spirit by contrast is eternal: your body is on this earth, like a lamp, but its light comes from that everlasting source above."

"The Body is visible, the spirit is concealed. The body is like the sleeve, the spirit the arm within it. The intellect is also hidden but one can perceive both the intellect and the spirit in a person's behaviour."

~Jalal Al-Din Rumi~

One of my favourite Rumi quotes :o)
