Reality Poem by Rabia Al Basri

Reality

Rating: 3.4


In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.
Speech is born out of longing,
True description from the real taste.
The one who tastes, knows;
the one who explains, lies.
How can you describe the true form of Something
In whose presence you are blotted out?
And in whose being you still exist?
And who lives as a sign for your journey?

When two loving souls are completely immersed in each other, nothing remains except love. 'In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.'

One day the master of the house spied her at her devotions. There was a divine light enveloping her as she prayed. Shocked that he kept such a pious soul as a slave, he set her free. Rabia went into the desert to pray and became an ascetic. Unlike many sufi saints she did not learn from a teacher or master but turned to God himself. True Devotional by the great poetess Rabia Al Basri. A finestb read.
