[Sunlight] Reciting joyfully

~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At every instant the heart hears this call from the blazing
sun: "Renounce the torch of the earth and gain the torch of
beyond."

Since you are serving the Beloved, why hide?
Gold shines always brighter from the wounds inflicted by
the goldsmith.

Overwhelmed by the eternal Wine,The heart was reciting joyfully:
"The wine may tear my life away, it will give me another life."

-- Ode (Ghazal) 538
Breathing Truth - Quotations from Jalaluddin Rumi
Selected and Translated by Muriel Maufroy
