Rumi - Behold the Water of Waters - Great Sufi Poems

6 months ago
58

"Behold the Water of Waters" is a profound poem by Rumi, the 13th-century Persian poet and mystic. Rumi was a mystic, belonging to the Sufi tradition in Islam. He wrote in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and even (at times) Greek.
"BEHOLD THE WATER OF WATERS!"
The sea itself is one thing, the foam another;
Neglect the foam, and regard the sea with your eyes.
Waves of foam rise from the sea night and day.
You look at the foam ripples and not at the mighty sea.
We, like boats, are tossed hither and thither,
We are blind though we are on the bright ocean.
Ah! you who are asleep in the boat of the body,
You see the water; behold the Water of waters!
Under the water you see there is another Water moving it.
Within the spirit is a Spirit that calls it.
When you have accepted the Light, O beloved,
When you behold what is veiled without a veil,
Like a star you will walk upon the heavens.
