" THE DESIRED ME SO I CAME CLOSE..." He desired me so i came close. No one can hear God unless He has prepared a bed for you. A thousand souls hear His call every second, but most everyone looks into their life's mirror n says "i am not worthy to leave this sadness" When I first heard His courting song, I too looked at all I had done in my life and said, "How can i gaze into His omnipresent eyes?" I spoke these words with all my heart, but then He sang again, a song even sweeter, and when i tried to shame myself once more from His presence God showed Me His compassion and spoke a divine truth, "I made you dear, and all I make is perfect. Please come close, for I desire you"
CRAZY ABOUT YOU -email forward If God had a refrigerator; your picture would be on it; If He had a wallet, it would be your picture he would carry; He sends you flowers every spring, He sends you a sunrise every morning, Whenever you want to talk, he listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but he chose.... your heart! Face it, friend, he is crazy about you! Renderings of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky You have not danced so badly, my dear trying to hold hands with the Beautiful One. You have waltzed with great style, My sweet crushed angel, to have ever neared God's Heart at all. Our partner is notoriously difficult to follow, And even his best musicians are not always easy to hear. So what if the music has stopped for a while. So what if the price of admission to the Divine Is out of reach tonight. So what, my dear, if you don’t have the ante to gamble for Real Love. The mind and the body are famous For holding the heart ransom, But Hafiz knows the Beloved's eternal habits. have patience, for He will not be able to resist your longing For long. You have not danced so badly, my dear, trying to kiss the Beautiful One. You have actually waltzed with tremendous style O my sweet, O my sweet, crushed angel.
This poem was read in an evening Radha Soami discourse and it was explained that the soul is the wife and the Lord is the husband who asks her to dance. She feels awkward and says she doesn’t know how. HE takes her into his arms and tells her just to follow him. HE knows the steps. ALL she has to do is let go of everything. |
