RUMI THE POET AS QUOTED
BY DENISE JACHIMOWICZ COUGHLIN
IN ORDER OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS
August 2012

Rumi was the most favorite Persian Poet (1207-1273) AD of HH Shri Nathji.

"Only Breath

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, not out of the ocean or up from the ground, not natural or ethereal, n
ot composed of elements at all.

I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or in the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story. My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath, breathing human being.

Rumi"
