The Simurg.
2008-02-04 13:49:00 Ah, the Simurgh, who is this wondrous beingWho, one fated night, when time stood still,Flew over China, not a single soul seeing?A feather fell from this King, his beauty and his will,And all hearts touched by it were in tumult thrown.Everyone who could, traced from it a liminal form;All who saw the still glowing lines were blownBy longing like trees on a shore bent by storm.The feather is lodged in China's sacred places,Hence the Prophet's exhortation for knowledge to seekEven unto China where the feather's shadow gracesAll who shelter under it -- to know of this is not to speak.But unless the feather's image is felt and seenNone knows the heart's obscure, shifting statesThat replace the fat of inaction with decision's lean.His grace enters the world and moulds our fatesThough without the limit of form or definite shape,For all definitions are frozen contradictions not fitFor knowing; therefore, if you wish to travel on the Way,Set out on it now to find the Simurgh, don't pr...
The nightingale ...
2008-02-04 13:31:00 The nightingale raises his head, drugged with passion,Pouring the oil of earthly love in such a fashionThat the other birds shaded with his song, grow mute.The leaping mysteries of his melodies are acute.'I know the secrets of Love, I am their piper,'He sings, 'I seek a David with broken heart to decipherTheir plaintive barbs, I inspire the yearning flute,The daemon of the plucked conversation of the lute.The roses are dissolved into fragrance by my song,Hearts are torn with its sobbing tone, broken alongThe fault lines of longing filled with desire's wrong.My music is like the sky's black ocean, I stealThe listener's reason, the world becomes the sealOf dreams for chosen lovers, where only the roseIs certain. I cannot go further, I am lame, and exposeMy anchored soul to the divine Way.My love for the rose is sufficient, I shall stayIn the vicinity of its petalled image, I needNo more, it blooms for me the rose, my seed.The hoopoe replies: 'You love the rose without thought.N...

Among the human race ...
2008-02-03 14:49:00 Abdul-Baha spoke these words to a number of Jewish, Zoroastrian, Christian and Mohammedan Bahais seated around his table and while serving them all. "Among the human race, the bonds of and means for love are numerous, for man cannot live without it; nay, rather, human life is dependent upon friendship and affection. Both the material and intrinsic development of man are conditional upon amity and love and the greatest honor and pleasure in the human world is love; but the ways and means are different. Sometimes the cause of love is simply relationship and kinship; and sometimes it is a racial bond, patriotism, political affairs, etc. But, through all these various bonds and means it is impossible to obtain a real and pure love; it is rather superficial and temporary. Such love may easily be changed into enmity and rancor, for it is affected by the slightest manifestation of hostility; whereas a true and ideal love is faith and assurance. Those who believe i...

Wever van gedachten ...
2008-02-02 16:40:00 Wever van gedachtenaan de wiel der tijd.In 't hart schouwt de zielhet licht, de geest die vrijheidin zijde kan betrachten. Het kleed verhult in woorden.Een roos uit verre oordenpronkt in de tuin der liefdenaast het huis waar ik zo griefde.- Fernando Soave -
Absolute evil ...
2008-02-02 13:14:00 Absolute evil has no conception of Good, other than that a good person may be corrupted. It cannot comprehend a positive outcome from any action. It sees its own destruction, or attempts at that end, as being only by way of violence, force or powers which it itself can use. The rejection of power is something beyond its wildest dreams. Thus it is demonstrated that evil carries within it the seeds of its own downfall. The essence of Evil is control and domination by power, and the essence of Good is free will of power in goodness. You are confronted with the choice, what do you chose ? That's the key and the temptation in the valley of humiliation.I choose for the power of sanctification.- Fernando Soave - More About: Absolute

2008-02-02 10:00:00 Earth's winter comethAnd I being part of allAnd sith the spirit of all moveth in meI must needs bear earth's winterDrawn cold and grey with hoursAnd joying in a momentary sun,Lo I am withered with waiting till my spring cometh!Or crouch covetous of warmthO'er scant-logged ingle blaze,Must take cramped joy in tomed LonginusThat, read I him first timeThe woods agleam with summerOr mid desirous winds of spring,Had set me singing spheresOr made heart to wander forth among warm roses.Or curl in grass next neath a kindly moon.- Ezra Pound -

2008-01-31 15:49:00 Sluit uwe ogen op het licht:dieper zal het branden...Nimmer is me uw lief gezichtliever, dan waar ’t veilig ligtbinnen mijne handen.Keer uw zinnen van den dag:langer zal hij duren...Rijker langend wordt uw lachwaar hij schemert door het ragder verleden uren.Neuren als een voorjaarswindbij geloken wachten...Mondje, dat geen vraag ontbindt;ogen zonder vrees, o kind;en uw haren, bleek en blindals de maan bij nachte.- Karel van de Woestijne -

Who changed the truth into a lie ...
2008-01-30 14:21:00 Romans 1:21-24, "...when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image ..."Then, in verse 25, Paul said, "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped the creature more than the Creator ...""Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, ..." (Exodus 20:4-5) Then, God said, "I will not give my glory unto another." (Isaiah 48:11)Revelation 20:12-15, "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the de...
