I saw your face at dawn and missed my prayer: What use is supplication when the Sun has risen? I do not fast as required, Nor am I the pure, praying kind. All I want is union with God I care not for the false or true God is not up there, my friends, Nor in the Kaaba does He reside; He is not in learned books, Nor inside the minaret He hides.

This is an excellent sampling of Sufi poetry from Africa to Afghanistan. This one belongs on your bookshelf. Because where is Where for You?

You are He who is everywhere Yet You are nowhere. Jul 07, Roland Clark rated it it was amazing. They were obsessed with the idea that God is love, they loved Him so dearly that they sometimes felt united with their Beloved, and they despaired that this feeling was so fleeting. Persecuted by other Muslims, Sufi mystics often moved to the Balkans, where state power was weaker and the multicultural mix of Christians, Jews, and Muslims was more amenable to their shocking, sometimes heretical, ways of talking about their spirituality.
