A lover knows only humility,
He has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night,
He has no choice.
  He longs to kiss every lock of your hair,
Don’t fret..,
He has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment,
He has no choice.


A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
  Beloved replied,
  I have died to myself and I live for you.
I’ve disappeared from myself and my attributes,
  I am present only for you
I’ve forgotten all my learnings,
But from knowing you I’ve become a scholar.
I’ve lost all my strength,
But from your power I am able.
I love myself…I love you.
I love you…I love myself.
I am your lover, come to my side,
I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me,
Let us be neighbors to the stars.
You have been hiding so long,
Endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed, revealed,
In the unknown, in the un-manifest.
I am life itself.
You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
Come merge with me,
Leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me..,
I will open the gate to your love.
I desire you more than food or drink
My body, my senses, my mind,
Hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart
Although you belong to all the world
I wait with silent passion for one gesture,
One glance from you…

Rumi's universality

From Wikipedia:  It is often said that the teachings of Rumi are universal in nature.  For Rumi, religion was mostly a personal experience and not limited to logical arguments or perceptions of the senses.  Creative love, or the urge to rejoin the spirit to divinity, was the goal towards which every thing  moves.  The dignity of life, in particular human life (which is conscious of its divine origin and goal), was important.  A Rumi poem: 

I Searched for God...

I searched for God among the Christians and on the Cross and therein I found Him not. I went into the ancient temples of idolatry; no trace of Him was there. I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went as far as Qandhar but God I found not.

With set purpose I fared to the summit of Mount Caucasus and found there only 'anqa's habitation. Then I directed my search to the Kaaba, the resort of old and young; God was not there even. 

Turning to philosophy I inquired about him from ibn Sina but found Him not within his range. I fared then to the scene of the Prophet's experience of a great divine manifestation only a "two bow-lengths' distance from him" but God was not there even in that exalted court.

..... Finally, I looked into my own heart and there I saw Him; He was nowhere else.

I found over the years that many times I would call on a customer just to say hello and would ask if their is something I could help them with. There would always be something they were thinking of doing but just had not called me.
