Our death is our wedding with eternity.
What is the secret ?
God is one.
The sunlight splits when entering the windows of the house.
This multiplicity exists in the cluster of grapes.
It is not in the juice made from the grapes.
For he who is living in the light of god,
The death of the carnal soul is a blessing.
Regarding him say neither bad nor good.
For he has gone beyond the good and the bad.
Fix your eyes on god and do not talk about what is invisible,
So that he may place another look in your eyes.
It is the eternal light which is the light of god.
The ephemeral light is an attribute of the body and the flesh.
Oh god, who gives the grace of vision.
The bird of vision is flying toward you
With the wings of desire.

From de Mystic Odes
Mawlānā Rūmī (Poeta persa)
