Rumi was both a great mystic and great poet. His poetry is vibrant with the energy and illumination of a saint who has reached a consciousness beyond the ordinary experiences of man.
Through his poetry Rumi is able to give a wonderful glimpse of the mystic beyond. And by giving us a glimpse, these poems have the potency to awaken in ourselves a sense that this mystic world can be accesible to our own aspiring soul.
Give me ecstasy, give me naked wonder, O my Creator!
Give birth to the Beloved in me, and let this lover die.
Let a thousand wrangling desires become one Love.
