The Sunrise Ruby
In the early morning hour, just before dawn, lover and beloved wake and take a drink of water.

She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more? Really, tell me the absolute truth."

He says, "There is nothing left of me. I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight."

This is how Hallaj said, I am God, and told the truth!

The ruby and the sunrise are one. Be courageous and discipline yourself.

Completely become hearing and ear, and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.

Work, Keep digging your well. Don't think about getting off from work. Water is there somewhere.

Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there. -Rumi
