Beyond This World

"Love is reckless: beware!
Love makes the sea boil like a kettle: Love crumbles the mountains like sand.
Those firm set mountains represent to you the state of lovers in steadfastness.
Lover's souls are on the watch for the beloved.
Beyond this world is a world where if you take a handful of earth, it will turn to gold;
If a dead man enters it, he will become living;
If the most ill-starred enters it, he will become the most fortunate;
If infidelity enters therein, it will become faith; if poison enters in, it will become an antidote to poison.
That world is neither inside of this world, or outside;
Neither beneath it, or above it;
Neither joined with it, nor separate from it;
It is devoid of quality and relation. At every moment, thousands of signs and types are displayed by Divine Love in this world."

Rumi (Vol.5, 2734-2786)

Commentary: It helps me to imagine a place where there are no obstacles to God's love.
