The day God created King Solomon, the wisest of all man, and the Queen (of) Sheba, He had one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss…

1] The foot in a fairy tale (One thousand and one nights…): the King Solomon had 700 wives, 300 concubines and one dove…

2] The foot in the abyss: the Queen Sheba was the queen of Egypt and Ethiopia, historically known as Abyssinia – the place of Abyss (reading from right-to-left ‘Abyss’ or ‘Ssyba’ is ‘Shyba’ or another variant of ‘Sheba’).

***

Rabbi Akiva about the Song of Songs: “The whole world is not worth the day on which the Song of Songs was given to Israel for all the writings are holy but the Song of Songs is the holiest of the holy”.

The words of Solomon 2:14 “O my dove, you are in the clefts of the rock in the secret places of the stairs…”

WHAT is her target?
1] The wisest of all man? 2] Peace (= the meaning of the name Solomon; peace dove)? 3] or something else???

True skill.

God made the world in Wisdom.

The Lord to his devotee: Love me, love me alone. Love yourself in me, in me alone. Attach yourself to me, No one is more inward than I. Others love you for their own sakes, I love you for yourself. And you, you flee from me. Dearly beloved! … if you approach me, It is because I have approached you. I am nearer to you than yourself, Than your soul, than your breath. Who among creatures Would treat you as I do? I am jealous of you over you, I want you to belong to no other, Not even to yourself. Be mine, be for me as you are in me, Though you are not even aware of it.

Ibn al-’Arabi (1165 – 1240)

Love has no boundary.
Love does not come by knocking. It just happens.

I’ve just now confessed my love to the one I love. I can feel when love prevails, nothing else matters.

Thank you dear Paulo for sharing this eternal truth declared by Rumi.

The mature ones are a sea.
A lover is needed to take the plunge,
a diver to bring up a pearl.

When you have brought
the pearl to the surface,
a jeweler is needed to know its worth.

Stay on the road til you arrive.
Be speechless. Don’t become a salesman.
Find an ‘Ali to follow.

Muhammed knew truth in himself.
Truth is present everywhere.
You only need eyes to see it.

Ask your daily sustenance from Truth,
the nly Apportioner. Find someone
who is master of his ego.

The lovers asked me to sing.
Someone without greed is needed
to complete what is started.

Sufi, who are you kidding?
And anyone but Truth
satisfy a human need?

Truth’s place is in the heart,
There’s a verse in the Quaran – In the soul
love has a tower higher than the throne of Creation.

– Yunus Emre

Of all the stars I admired, drenched
in various rivers and mists
I chose only the one I love
Since then I sleep with the night
Of all the waves, one wave and another wave
green sea, green chill, branching of green
I chose only one wave,
the invisible wave of your body
All the waterdrops, all the roots,
all the threads of light gathered to me here;
they came to me sooner or later.
I wanted you, all to myself
From all the graces my homeland offered
I chose only your savage heart
(Pablo Neruda)

Rumi is not talking about human love. He talks about love of God and what it means to those who believe and surrender to His love.
And Quran is love. It’s everything. Because it comes from God.

I beleive that what you have written is all inspired from feelings deep within that only a person, if lucky enough, to have experienced true love can really know about. Thank you Paolo for experiencing it with us.

This description is just a little sign of the feelings that can exist to another person. When you are fall in love you just feel that you can’t live without the other one. Your heart cryies and joys when you are with him or her. This kind of inconditional love is amazing ’cause you give everything but sometimes you receive nothing

Desarmonia quando prevalece
Você confundir luxúria com amor, enquanto
A distância entre os dois
É infinita.

Rumi was an Iranian Passionate Sufi Poet. In Sufi’s world , Love is in everything and is everything something like Gnosticism in west ! We use his poems here and there but we just don’t give enough attention to what he truly says ! anyways we just know that there’s no mystery in Q’oran and it’s not the Truth ! It’s just a copy of Torah and Gospels ! We don’t need anyone tells us what Love is now , for Love has come to earth in flesh and blood, Jesus The Christ! By the way, I’m a fan, Paulo !
