The Saint, the Soul and Joy

 

 

The progress of our soul is like a perfect poem. It has an infinite idea which once realized makes all movements full of meaning and joy.

Tripping over Joy (Hafiz)

What is the difference between the experience of Existence and that of a saint?

The saint knows that the spiritual path is a sulime chess game with God.

And that the Beloved has just made such a fantastic Move that the Saint I now continually tripping over Joy and bursting out in laughter and saying "I aurrender!".

Whereas, my dear, I'm afraid you still think you have a thousand serious moves.
