You Are Not Your Eyes
Maulana Jalaleddin Muhammad Balkhi, known as Rumi (The Book of Love)
In certain places and times, the current of mystical awareness runs deep and strong, more so than in others. Among the Greeks in the sixth century B.C. and also in India and China during that century. Jesus and the desert fathers. The Hassidic masters in Poland and Russia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the Zen masters in Japan during the same period were also part of an inexplicable flooding.
In Formerly Khorasan (Afghanistan, Iran…) from the eleventh to the fourteenth century, a brilliant flowering of awareness came among the Sufis, especially the poets. Jelaluddin Rumi (1207–1273) was one of those conductors of knowing and being. Sufis call Rumi the “Qutb, the pole, of love”. Gilani (d. 1166) was the pole of power and Ibn Arabi (1165–1249), was of knowledge. Through Rumi comes a transmission of the divine to this planet in the regions of love. His poetry is a record of his enduring the experience of living at the core. In each human being, there is a meeting with the divine. That intersection is the heart.
for more insights:

Those who have reached their arms into emptiness are no longer concerned with lies and truth, with mind and soul,
or which side of the bed they rose from. If you are still struggling to understand, you are not there. You offer your soul
to one who says, “Take it to the other side”. You are on neither side, yet those who love you see you on one side
or the other. You say Illa, “Only God”, then your hungry eyes see you're in “nothing”, La. You are an artist
who paints both with existence and non. Shams could help you see who you are, but remember, You are not your eyes (Shams the cave companion and the best friend of Rumi)

For sixty years I have been forgetful, every moment, but not for a second has this flowing toward me slowed or stopped. I deserve nothing. Today I recognize that I am the guest the mystics talk about. I play this living music for my host. Everything today is for the host.
