Jelaluddin Rumi and Talibaan...now there's a thought ! Rumi's poetry...albeit extremely sensuous and passionate, at least is all devotional....but Omar Khayyam....wow ! he and Mirza Ghalib were famous for their very realistic poetry about life, love, lust, women and spirits....esp Ghalib, who had an extremely difficult and melancholy existance, was very cynical about the existance of a just and kind God... These three have been classified as the greatest poets of Central Asia. Taalibaan certainly doesn't deserve such distinguished people in their regime...

Why should I seek ? I am the same as he. His essence speaks thru me. I have been looking for myself ! . . . Ah Rumi, Rumi, give me more Rumi....for today.... . . . Which is worth more, a crowd of thousands, or your own genuine solitude ? Freedom, or power over an entire nation ? A little while alone in your room will prove more valuable than anything else that could ever be given you. AND I am so small I can barely be seen. How can this great love be inside of me? - - - Out beyond the fields of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn't make any sense. I'l meet you there - - - Don't go anywhere without me. Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me, or on the ground, in this world or that world, without me being in its happening. Vision, see nothing that I don't see. Language, say nothing. The way the night knows itself with the moon, be that with me. Be the rose nearest to the thorn that I am. - - - I don't need a companion who is nasty sad and sour the one who is like a grave dark depressing and bitter a sweetheart is a mirror a friend a delicious cake it isn't worth spending an hour with anyone else a companion who is in love only with the self has five distinct characters stone hearted unsure of every step lazy and disinterested keeping a poisonous face the more this companion waits around the more bitter everything will get just like a vinegar getting more sour with time enough is said about sour and bitter faces a heart filled with desire for sweetness and tender souls must not waste itself with unsavory matters - - - Come to the orchard in the spring There is light and wine, and sweethearts ........among pomegranate trees. If you do not come, these do not matter. If you do come, these do not matter" - - - take me to that place where nobody knows me but you tell me all those things that nobody can hear but me just love me forever I know they all do but you. - Who else but Rumi.....? - Pasted from the Favourite Quotes and Desire & Grief Thread....
