786…Dying to Love-Rumi
Die! Die!
Die in this love!
If you die in this love
your soul will be renewed
Die! Die!
Don’t fear the death
of that which is known
If you die to the temporal
you will become timeless
Die! Die!
Cut off those chains
that hold you prisoner
to the world of attachment
Die! Die!
Die to the deathless
and you will be eternal
Die! Die!
and come out of this cloud
When you leave the cloud
you will be in the effulgent moon
Die! Die!
Die to the din and the noise
of mundane concerns
In the silence of love
you will find the spark of life
