Jami - Lucky is the one who realises the secret of being nobody
Identifier
015138
Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
lucky is the one who realises the secret of being nobody
for no one gets anywhere by being somebody
whatever is not about desirelessness and detachment
is a delusion and will but lead to delusion
there is a light on your face
which whispers of the Divine Flame
as God is my witness you have issued from the same
for the caged bird to reach the perfumed garden
it has to pass through the realm of imagination
you have to rise above that
which you think is human destiny
to fulfill your destiny
for your covenant is not with man
but with God
should you be not allowed yet
to join the Beloved’s caravan
be content if you hear its bells from a distance
in the realm of hearts none but our King rules
the One who by day is its Ruler
and by night the Life bestowing Thief!
Ya Allah! Let me join Your caravan.
