My Place is Placeless

My place is the Placeless,
My trace is the Traceless;
'Tis neither body nor soul,
for I belong to the soul of the Beloved.
I have put duality away,
I have seen that the two worlds are one;
One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
He is the first, He is the last,
He is the outward, He is the inward;
I know none other except
'Ya Hu' and 'Ya man Hu.'


- Jalaluddin Rumi from the Diwan-e-Shams
