If you had a dream in which someone broke into your house and stole a certain object,
would you upon waking and finding the item still there,
call the constable?
Not if you were in your right mind.
And whenever God wakes in us
His/our thinking becomes clear--
nothing is missing.
And how could He not forgive, then,
what never really
happened,
and/or what He caused?
The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?
~Jeremy Bentham

Hafiz: XIVth Century persian poet and Sufi Master (maybe it would explain why it sounds esotherical as sufism is esotheric)...
the second greatest persian poet after Omar Khayyam.

if i'm not mistaken, omar khayyam's works, well some of them are available in e-book format & they're free. sorry i can't recall the exact link, i think it's www.manybooks.netit may be part of project gutenberg.

Ah, very interesting, thanks ! The only Sufi I know if is Idris Shah, who wrote some Nasrudin stories. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> (By the way, I collect books about Nasrudin/Nasreddin/Nasredin Afanti or what his names might be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) http://www.khamush.com/sufism/nasrudin.htm

Yeah ! I simply love that character ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> Such a mixture of wisdom and foolishness ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> By the way, in Arcanum his name is used as well ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
