THE SOURCE OF EXISTENCE (11/8/2026)

I have expelled all philosophical denials from my heart entirely.

I have purified my heart.

I have put the forms which belonged to Joseph in my eyes.

It should be a Beauty unseen and impossible for worlds to praise.

that the Adam in front falls down and worships.

This is an imperial cipher with a kind of radiance of its own.

Every moment offers a glow, every extinguished light will glow again.

Burn them. Light them. Burn them. Light them.

When the sun rises, every particle appears.

But, for a secret particle,

that needs a different kind of light in order to shine.

The source of existence is that Sea of Abundance

which has been catching all unseemly things.

Divan-i Kebir, Volume 2, ghazal 3, verses 2119-2123, page 6.

AMAZING (11/1/2026)

It is amazing that the Beloved is contained in my heart.

Souls of a thousand bodies fit in this flesh.

One grain grows into thousands of harvests.

Hundreds of universes fit in the eye of a needle.

The Rubaiyat of Rumi, The Ergin Translations, Volume 4, rubai 1505, page 66.
