Devotion, together we walk.

On going to Baghdad I struck a deal:
For a gram of intellect I took a load of sorrows.
The load grew heavier and my goal more distant, but finally I reached it.
It was when I understood essence and attribute, Bahu, that I found divine beauty.
-The Sufi Poems of Sultan Bahu
in the book "Death Before Dying",
translated and introduced by Jamal J. Elias.



I can write my own as well:
~~~~~~~~~~
On going to graduate, I struck a deal:
For a single degree I took a load of sorrows.
The load grew heavier and my goal more distant, but finally I reached it.
It was when I understood essence and attribute, that I found divine beauty.



A long journey it has been, and it is not over yet. See you when our paths make crossroads again ^^;
