Whether God is or is not,
That I cannot say.
Though beauty pulses through me as my life's blood,
That I can say, though not with words.
Through ecstasy's gateway I dance,
With silence in the gaps between my "i" 's.
No need for anything,
Say, this moment, that stretches endlessly.

For all those who peddle the false idea labeled as "freedom"..
IT DOESN'T EXIST!
Freedom is merely a concept; an impossible concept, at that! A concept impossible to ever materialize for any of the creations!
All things amongst the creations are subject to laws, rules, regulations, limits, needs, desires, and so on.. and all of these things are reasons why you will NEVER be free!
"Freedom" is one of the oldest scams ever sold to mankind!
You're better off a slave of allah!

@dauseraddict ,so have you stopped looking? Stopped questioning the obvious? Who or what am I? If I am only supposed to only live for a certain period of time to eat ,drink ,do some ordinary work and be content,why then so much more was given to me ? Everything created in this universe has a purpose, what was the purpose of all these extra intelligence,ideas and thoughts that I have? Do you have two wings to fly? Good Luck!

@irajkhodadoost I knew I would see you here eventually, my friend. Like souls tend to find each other in the Rumi's words.
I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.
Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.

THIS IS NONSENSE!!! THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN REALLY BE FREE IS TO FREE YOURSELF OF RELIGION AND IRRATIONAL SPIRITUALITY. WE CANNOT FLEE REALITY. WE HAVE TO FACE IT RATIONALLY. RELIGIONS AND SPIRITUAL CONCEPTS PRAY ON THE LOST AND EMOTIONALLY WEAK PEOPLE. AN IRRATIONAL LIFE WILL BRING YOU NOTHING BUT CONFUSION AND AN ENDLESS QUEST FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST. ALL WE CAN DO IS TO EXPLORE LIFE. CHEERS

@dauseraddict God is beyond logic.We are prisoners of our mind, locked inside our own small world. We're a tiny speck of His Creation, not able to see even a zillionith part of the whole. It may be irrational, as you say, but it is not a futile quest---this seeking after God.
Exploring life, gaining an understanding of ourselves, is the quest. Once you accept the concept of Infinite Grace, you are free.

I have kept this poem in my favorites now for years. I must say that I am not muslim. This poem though, is so very close to what I believe in my own inner being as a christian. It is wonderfully beautiful, and if people could take the words into their heart, there would be a lot less bitterness and strife across the world.

@camber07 Thank you for your heartfelt comment. At the core we are all from the same Divine Being, whatever one wishes to call our Creator.
Sorry it took so long to approve your comment.
