Bliss

Came across this interesting poem written by a Persian Sufi mystic poet Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi.
I died as inanimate matter and arose a plant,
I died as a plant and rose again an animal.
I died as an animal and arose a man.
Why then should I fear to become less by dying?
I shall die once again as a man
To rise an angel perfect from head to foot!
Again when I suffer dissolution as an angel,
I shall become what passes the conception of man!
Let me then become non-existent, for non-existence
Sings to me in organ tones, ‘To him shall we return.’

These are words from his poem Masnavi.

Finally managed to get this poem from the movie Aalavandhan. Written by Vairamuthu…

Sirpamaana pendirenru thedi odum maanida;
(Hey! Man who’s running after a shaply woman)

Arpamana maadharodu aasai kolvathenada;
(Why do you desire a cheap woman)

Karpu onru-irukkudhoa;
(Has she got a thing called chastity?)

kaaval onru-irukkudhoa;
(Is there a security to it?)

karbamerum paiyanodu kavasamitirukkudhoa;
(The child inside, is it an armor for her.)

Yet another amazing set of words from Vairamuthu.
