More From Rumi

This is a gathering of lovers. in this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. there is no master, no disciple. this gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. this is a gathering of lovers.
Life Smart Party
Before one goes through the gate one may not be aware there is a gate one may think there is a gate to go through and look a long time for it without finding it one may find it and it may not open if it opens one may be through it as one goes through it one sees that the gate one went through was the self that went through it no one went through a gate there was no gate to go through no one ever found a gate no one ever realized there was never a gate
Thinking Self Long
Go back, go back to sleep. yes, you are allowed. you who have no love in your heart, you can go back to sleep. the power of love is exclusive to us, you can go back to sleep. i have been burnt by the fire of love. you who have no such yearning in your heart, go back to sleep. the path of love, has seventy-two folds and countless facets. your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. i have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. you who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.
Letting Go Love You Heart
As long as i stared at the clock, at least the world remained in motion. not a very consequential world, but in motion nonetheless. and as long as i knew the world was still in motion, i knew i existed. not a very consequential existence, but an existence nonetheless. it struck me as wanting that someone should confirm his own existence only by the hands of an electric wall clock. there had to be a more cognitive means of confirmation. but try as i might, nothing less facile came to mind.
Wall Mean Hands
Each thing that exists remains forever, and that very existence of existence is proof of its eternity. but without that realization, which is the knowledge of perfect being, man would never know whether there was existence or non-existence. if eternal existence is altered, then it must become more beautiful; and if it disappears, it must return with more sublime image; and if it sleeps, it must dream of a better awakening, for it is ever greater upon its rebirth.
Beautiful Dream Sleep
I don't sleep. i wait. i sleep in cars and on couches. i sleep when i can, but when i can't sleep, i just don't, so i figure there's a higher calling keeping me on point that night.
