With whizzing, shuddering, cracking, tearing, echoing,

Enlightening some too little candles,
Beneath centuries' deep darkness is seen
Which is engulfing your own existence;

And ignores the impassable dam.'

A bird soaring high in the sky!
In that moment of flying - - a blissful state in the air,
Where you are free- -full of space,

Who ages and ages ago
Lived right on the top of a mountain,
A mountain all covered with snow.

The armies of those I love engirth me, and I engirth them;
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,

A manifold honey to smear his face,
Clumsy and lumbering here and there,
The central ton of every place,

built somewhat like a box. No. Built
like several boxes in descending sizes
one above the other.

The leaves are ready and willing to be eaten by insects, worms and slugs

There is a wildness still in England that will not feed
In cages; it shrinks away from the touch of the trainer's hand,
Easy to kill, not easy to tame. It will never breed
In a zoo for the public pleasure. It will not be planned.

Our body may not be
what we think it to be
it could be much more in a sense
it could be a listener to world's resonance

In the prologue to the Masnavi Rumi hailed Love and its sweet madness that heals all infirmities, and he exhorted the reader to burst the bonds to silver and gold to be free. The Beloved is all in all and is only veiled by the lover. Rumi identified the first cause of all things as God and considered all second causes subordinate to that. Human minds recognize the second causes, but only prophets perceive the action of the first cause. One story tells of a clever rabbit who warned the lion about another lion and showed the lion his own image in a well, causing him to attack it and drown. After delivering his companions from the tyrannical lion, the rabbit urges them to engage in the more difficult warfare against their own inward lusts. In a debate between trusting God and human exertion, Rumi quoted the prophet Muhammad as saying, "Trust in God, yet tie the camel's leg."8 He also mentioned the adage that the worker is the friend of God; so in trusting in providence one need not neglect to use means. Exerting oneself can be giving thanks for God's blessings; but he asked if fatalism shows gratitude.

God is hidden and has no opposite, not seen by us yet seeing us. Form is born of the formless but ultimately returns to the formless. An arrow shot by God cannot remain in the air but must return to God. Rumi reconciled God's agency with human free will and found the divine voice in the inward voice. Those in close communion with God are free, but the one who does not love is fettered by compulsion. God is the agency and first cause of our actions, but human will as the second cause finds recompense in hell or with the Friend. God is like the soul, and the world is like the body. The good and evil of bodies comes from souls. When the sanctuary of true prayer is revealed to one, it is shameful to turn back to mere formal religion. Rumi confirmed Muhammad's view that women hold dominion over the wise and men of heart; but violent fools, lacking tenderness, gentleness, and friendship, try to hold the upper hand over women, because they are swayed by their animal nature. The human qualities of love and tenderness can control the animal passions. Rumi concluded that woman is a ray of God and the Creator's self.

form the uninterrupted central
tail row! This near artichoke with head and legs and

Always out of office hours running with her social betters
But when daylight and the darkness of the office closed about her
Not for this ah not for this her office colleagues came to doubt her

Through mountain, hilly forest, bush of greenery
Walking beneath to peak, peak to beneath as spider

There's something in a huge balloon;

To stare below the roof,
Where pigeons nest aloof
From prowling cats and men,

When, with his torch and hourglass, like a sulpher priest,

Then when the Dragon, put to second rout,
Came furious down to be revenged on men,

Since that first morning, shining and pure,
The white cliffs of Dover I saw rising steeply
