"All Truth Passes Through Three Stages:
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is
accepted as being self-evident"
–
Arthur Schopenhauer,
German philosopher (1788 - 1860)
Love
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 me so completely
It has turned to ash and freed me
of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.
– Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky in the book
The Gift: Poems by Hafiz the Great Sufi Master
Truth
My heart has opened unto every form
It is a pasture for gazelles
a cloister for Christian monks
a temple for idols
the Ka'ba of the pilgrim
the tablets of the Torah and the book of the Quran.
I practice the religion of Love
in whatsover directions its caravans advance
the religion of Love shall be my religion and my
faith.
