“Love the phoenix cannot be trapped
nor in heaven or earth can it be named;

no one has yet discovered its address:
its desert holds not a single footprint.

The world drains the last drops from its cup
though itself it is not outside the glass;

dawn and dusk I caress its face, its tresses,
though where it is no day or night exists.

Morning-breeze, if you pass its lane
I have no message for it but this:

My repose, who are my very life, without you
I can take no single breath at ease.”
Fakhruddin 'Iraqi

“Each image painted
on the canvas of existence
is the form
of the artist himself.
Eternal Ocean
spews forth new waves.
„Waves“ we call them;
but there is only the Sea.

(p. 77)”
Fakhruddin Iraqi, Fakhruddin Iraqi: Divine Flashes

“If You are Everything
then who are all these people?
And if I am nothing
what's all this noise about?
You are Totality,
everything is You. Agreed.
Then that which is "other-than-You"-
what is it?
Oh, indeed I know:
Nothing exists but You
...”
