A Poem by Hafiz

Hafiz (Shama-ud-din Muhammed 1320- 1389) is Persia's most beloved poet and some say one of the greatest living examples of the perfect union between the Human and the Divine.

I embrace this poem completely.


I Have Learned So Much

I 
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer 
Call 
Myself

A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim
A Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me

That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.

Wow! Rightfully effective, to know God is to know all his righteous prophets. The ascended masters is with Hafiz. Thanks for sharing Jennifer.
